Re: 38/357 shotshells

They will work on most rattlesnakes.

Re: 38/357 shotshells

I have loaded some .38 Spl shotshells. Used 4.5 grains of Unique, then a wad tight over the powder, then approximately 93 grains of #9 shot (filled to just under the top of the case), then another sealed wad. This has worked quite well for my son and I except we have to load just one snakeshot round in the pistol or the recoil will loosen the shot in the next round. We have shot a number of snakes with them.

I have also tried one with the same powder, and a little less shot with a 000 buckshot on the outer end. It worked OK but I decided that more shot was preferred.
