Real CCI Shotshell 44 Special Ammo 140 Grain Lead Shot 200 rounds

Description

Real CCI Shotshell 44 Special Ammo 140 Grain Lead Shot 200 rounds is a specialized, low-velocity load designed for pest control and short-range applications where a conventional bullet is impractical. This is for the handgun owner who needs a definitive solution for snakes, rodents, or birds at distances under 15 feet. Its primary differentiator is the proven CCI priming and crimp seal, which ensures reliable ignition and consistent patterns downrange.

Key Features

• CCI’s Sealed Crimp: The plastic capsule is crimped and sealed at the mouth. This matters because it prevents powder contamination from shot spillage, a common failure point in other shotshell designs that can leave you with a dud under stress.
• 140-Grain Lead Shot Load: This payload weight provides optimal balance for the .44 Special case. It matters because it delivers sufficient pellet count and energy for its intended purpose without excessive recoil or compromising the structural integrity of the capsule.
• Low-Velocity Propellant: Engineered for reduced muzzle blast and barrel wear. This matters for preserving rifling when firing occasional shotshells and for maintaining control in close-quarters scenarios.
• 200-Round Case Quantity: Supplied in a factory-sealed case. This matters for cost-per-round value and ensures you have an adequate supply for seasonal pest control duties without frequent reordering.
