Authentic CCI Shotshell 45 ACP Ammo 120 Grain Lead Shot 200 rounds

Description

Authentic CCI Shotshell 45 ACP Ammo 120 Grain Lead Shot 200 rounds is factory-loaded specialty ammunition for close-range pest control and training, delivering reliable shot dispersion without cylinder modifications. This is for handgunners who need a definitive solution for snakes, rodents, or pattern practice under stress.

Key Features

• CCI Factory-Loaded Reliability: Why it matters: Consistent crimping and powder charges from CCI ensure every round cycles and patterns as intended, eliminating the variables and potential squibs of hand-loaded shotshells.
• 45 ACP Pistol Compatibility: Why it matters: Designed to feed and function in standard 1911s and other .45 ACP semi-autos without requiring a separate shotshell cylinder or barrel swap, keeping your sidearm mission-ready.
• Effective Close-Quarters Dispersion: Why it matters: The #9 lead shot load creates an immediate, wide pattern downrange, maximizing hit probability on small, fast-moving targets within 10-15 feet.
• 200-Round Case Quantity: Why it matters: Provides enough ammo for serious pattern testing across different pistols and for multiple outings, making it a practical purchase rather than a novelty box.
