Much like its Vista Outdoor companion Federal Premium, CCI piqued the interest of media members at SHOT Show 2016, thanks to the introduction of its new Big 4 handgun shotshell. Big 4 is designed to extend the range and capabilities of downsized shotshells, using a payload of No. 4 lead shot.

The resulting energy and patterns delivered by the No. 4 shot are meant to help Big 4 take down larger pests at longer ranges. At its release, Big 4 will be available in four chamberings: 9mm Luger, .38 Special/.357 Mag., .44 Special/44 Mag. and .45 Colt. All will be available for less than $20 a box.

Features

• Centerfire handgun shotshells
• No. 4 lead payload delivers more energy and longer range than conventional handgun shotshells
• Packed in resuable boxes of 10 shotshells
• Available in a variety of popular calibers
