38Spl/357 CCI Shotshell Mag 100gr #9 Shot 1000 fps – 10rds

CCI Shotshell Magnum .38 Special / .357 Magnum 100gr #9 Shot is a specialized shotshell ammunition designed for pest control, small game hunting, and close-range snake/varmint defense in revolvers.

• Caliber: .38 Special / .357 Magnum (fires safely in both chamberings)
• Payload: 100 grains of #9 shot (approximately 130–140 pellets)
• Shot type: #9 lead shot (fine size, ideal for small pests)
• Casing: New brass (reloadable, rimmed)
• Velocity (avg): 1000 fps (factory muzzle velocity, typically from a 4" revolver barrel)
• Muzzle energy: Approximately 220–230 ft-lbs
• Properties: Plastic capsule contains the shot charge (breaks open upon exiting the barrel); produces a wide, dense pattern at short range (effective 7–15 feet); low recoil; reliable feeding and extraction in revolvers; Magnum-pressure loading for better velocity and pattern performance
• Primary function: Excellent for dispatching snakes, rodents, birds, squirrels, or other small pests at close range; popular for trail/brush carry, camping, ranch use, or as a defensive option against venomous snakes in .357 or .38 Special revolvers (e.g., S&W J-Frame, Ruger SP101, Colt Python, GP100, etc.)

Not suitable for self-defense against humans or larger game—strictly a specialty shotshell load. Pattern spreads quickly beyond 10–15 yards, limiting effective range. A trusted, go-to option from CCI for pest control and snake shot applications. Always verify compatibility with your specific revolver and follow safe handling practices.
