I obtained a SW .357 thru the family. In the box with it where a box of 50 standard shells (now expended!) but there was also a small box (10) of shotshells (1/4 oz. #9 shot).
What in the world would the shot shells be for? Seems like a good way to gunk up my SW!
Snakes
They are very effective.
That and shooting pop cans.Quote:

You can get them for quite a few pistol calibers.

The shot doesn't harm the barrel?
Same here. :smt023Quote:

Mostly for revolvers. They do not work well for cycling the slide on an automatic from what I've ready. Not enough pressure behind the load to cycle the slide reliably. Wheel guns don't cycle.Quote:

I'd rather use a .38 wadcutter. Also have doubts about that shot penetrating an irate rattler.
Now, a 12ga up close is a different matter! I was once struck by a coach whip and shot instinctively. Shortened that snake by about a foot from the front end.
