CCI Big 4 .357 Magnum/.38 Special #4 Shot Shotshell

The CCI Big 4 shotshell (part no. 3714CC) steps up from standard handgun shotshells with a payload of #4 shot, built for pests too large or too far out for a finer shot charge to handle cleanly. CCI Ammunition designed the Big 4 line to extend both the range and stopping capability of a downsized handgun shotshell, giving revolver owners more confidence on bigger nuisance animals without switching to a dedicated shotgun. It chambers and fires in both .357 Magnum and .38 Special revolvers, so one box covers either gun in the safe. For anyone managing pests around a property, this handgun ammunition round covers the gap standard shotshells leave open.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .357 Magnum, and it also chambers and fires in .38 Special revolvers.

• The payload weighs 84 grains, CCI’s listed shot charge weight for the Big 4 load.
• The case material is aluminum, kept lightweight since it carries no jacketed bullet.
• CCI markets this under its Big 4 line, built specifically to take down larger pests at longer distances.
• Cost runs about $1.77 per round, in line with specialty shotshell pricing versus standard ball ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Big 4 different from a standard handgun shotshell? It loads larger #4 shot instead of fine shot, which extends both the effective range and the knockdown power on larger pests than a standard fine-shot load.

Will this round cycle reliably in a semi-auto pistol? It is built for revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum or .38 Special, where the cylinder does not depend on the round’s profile to feed and cycle.
