CCI 45 Colt Shotshell 150gr #9 Shot 10-Round Box

Description

CCI's 45 Colt shotshell transforms your revolver into an effective pest control tool where traditional bullets would be overkill. The fine #9 shot creates a dense pattern ideal for snakes and other small varmints at distances where precision shot placement matters most. Designed around the proven concept of firing shot from a rifled barrel, each round uses a rigid plastic capsule that breaks on the rifling to distribute the pellets reliably.

What Makes the 45 Colt Shotshell Effective

The real advantage here is the 150-grain payload of #9 shot paired with consistent 1000 fps velocity. That load density means more pellets on target without the over-penetration concerns of a conventional bullet. The flexible base wad prevents gas blow-by, keeping patterns predictable round after round. Residue cleans away with standard gun maintenance, no special procedures needed.

Built for Real-World Pest Situations

Anyone who's dealt with a snake near the house or rats in the barn knows these pests don't give you much time to aim. The shotshell pattern takes the precision requirement out of close-quarter encounters. Your 45 Colt revolver or lever action carbine becomes a genuinely practical solution for property management rather than a general-purpose firearm you're using in a pinch.

Packaging and Reliability

These come in reusable 10-round pocket packs that fit easily in a pack or belt pouch for convenient field carry. CCI primers and clean-burning powders keep ignition reliable and firearms cleaner than many pest control alternatives. The aluminum cases are not reloadable, but that's typical for shotshell ammunition where the capsule design and internal structure don't support reloading.
