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

Know How: Understanding and Obtaining a Cold-Bore Zero

Have you ever spent hours at the range zeroing a rifle only to learn it is nowhere near center when you go to confirm it at camp? Many attribute this malady to scope shift during travel, and that can sometimes be the case. However, far more often this point-of-impact change can be attributed to the way we zeroed back home.
