Overview
Built for close-range pest control, this handgun shotshell is intended for use in .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers where a short-distance pattern is the goal. The load uses a 100 grain shotshell with #9 shot and is packaged in 10-round boxes, making it a practical option for hunters and landowners who need a compact supply on hand. Its rigid plastic capsule, flexible base wad, and CCI primer are part of the design, while the aluminum casing keeps the load straightforward and purpose-driven. This is a specialized choice for small-game or nuisance-animal situations at close range, not a general-purpose revolver load.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for close-range pest control, so it is not intended as a general-purpose handgun load.
- The 10-round box is convenient for stocking up, but it is a relatively small quantity if you use shotshells regularly.
- It is listed for both .38 Special and .357 Magnum handguns, so compatibility should be checked against the firearm being used.
- The #9 shot and 1000 fps listing indicate a specialized shotshell setup rather than a standard bullet load, which limits its use to specific tasks.
