CCI Shotshell Ammunition 44 Special 140 Grain #9 Shot - Box of 10

CCI shotshell ammunition for .44 Special and .44 Magnum offers a practical solution for close-range pest control and specialized shooting applications. This 44 Special shotshell load uses #9 shot — small pellets designed for targets at typical handgun distances — making it effective on small game, varmints, and nuisance animals where a traditional bullet would be overkill. At 140 grains, the payload delivers sufficient energy for reliable performance in .44-chambered revolvers without the overpenetration and collateral damage risk of conventional center-fire rounds.

Shotshell handgun ammunition has seen a resurgence among hunters and shooters who need versatility in a single firearm. Whether you're running a .44 Magnum revolver that doubles as a trail gun or keeping a .44 Special for controlled pest management on your property, shotshell loads expand your options without requiring a separate firearm. CCI's shotshell technology delivers consistent patterns at practical handgun ranges, making them reliable when accuracy and minimal noise matter.

Each box contains 10 rounds, a quantity that works well for testing loads in your specific gun and confirming your point of aim before committing to larger purchases. Shotshell ammunition performance can vary between individual firearms due to barrel length, choke, and mechanical tolerances, so starting with a smaller box is the smart approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What guns can fire CCI .44 Special shotshell ammunition?

These rounds are designed for revolvers chambered in .44 Special or .44 Magnum. Always verify your specific firearm is compatible before purchasing, and consult your owner's manual regarding ammunition specifications and safety limits.

What is #9 shot used for in a handgun shotshell?

#9 shot is a small pellet size that creates a tighter, more controlled pattern at typical handgun ranges (typically under 15 yards). It's effective on small pests, varmints, and lightweight game where penetration and spread need to be carefully managed.

Why start with a 10-round box of shotshell ammunition?

A smaller box lets you test the load in your specific revolver before committing to larger quantities. Shotshell pattern and velocity can vary between individual firearms, so confirming reliability and point of aim with your gun is the smart first step.

How does shotshell ammunition differ from traditional center-fire rounds?

Shotshell handgun ammunition fires a payload of small pellets instead of a single projectile, creating a spread pattern similar to a shotgun. This reduces overpenetration, minimizes collateral damage, and is well-suited for pest control and specialized hunting applications at close range.
