CCI Big 4 Shotshell Ammunition - .38 Special, 84 Grains, #4 Shot, Box of 10

CCI Big 4 shotshell ammunition in .38 Special offers a practical solution for shooters who need effective short-range pest control or specialized handgun applications. These .38 Special/.357 Magnum shotshells deliver 84 grains of #4 shot per round, giving you a spread pattern that's ideal for close-quarters accuracy on small targets where a traditional bullet may be overkill. Whether you're managing varmints around the property, dealing with snakes, or exploring less-lethal defensive options, shotshell ammunition fills a niche that standard handgun loads simply don't address.

CCI has built a reputation for thoughtful ammunition design—recognizing that sometimes the best tool for the job isn't a conventional bullet. Shotshells are one of those specialty products that separates innovative ammunition makers from the rest. The .38 Special Big 4 format works in any firearm chambered for .38 Special or .357 Magnum, making it a versatile addition to your handgun locker if you own either platform. The #4 shot pattern makes these rounds most effective at very short distances, so they're best reserved for situations where your target is close and accuracy matters more than penetration.

Each box contains 10 rounds, making this an economical way to try shotshell ammunition or keep a few on hand for the occasional specialized need. CCI's quality control and consistent powder charge mean you'll get reliable function and predictable performance, which matters even in a niche application like this.
