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

Description

Real CCI Shotshell 45 ACP Ammo 120 Grain Lead Shot 200 rounds is a specialized, low-velocity load designed for shooters requiring terminal effect on small pests and varmints at close range, offering a reliable factory alternative to hand-loaded shotshells.

Key Features

• CCI Primed Reliability: The proprietary primer and sealed case mouth ensure consistent ignition and moisture resistance, which matters for ammunition that may be stored in field conditions and must fire under stress.
• Controlled Pattern: The plastic capsule containing the #9 lead shot is designed to open predictably, creating an effective pattern for snakes and rodents within approximately 10 feet. This matters for making clean, ethical kills on small targets.
• Low Recoil & Barrel-Safe The 120-grain total weight and low powder charge generate minimal recoil and pressure, safe for use in unmodified semi-automatic pistols. This matters for follow-up shots and preserving your firearm.
• Factory-Loaded Consistency: Each round is assembled to CCI’s stringent specifications, providing uniform ballistic performance you can’t guarantee with DIY shotshell conversions. This matters for predictable results downrange.
