One of my older brothers asked that I purchase some of these for him if I ever came across any for his 22 Magnum; he had a 6 inch Smith & Wesson. I found some and paid a frightful price at a Gun Show. The next day, he loaded up and fired at large weed head about 10 yards away - nothing. He pointed it straight up into the Maple tree were standing under and fired; a single leaf floated down. He commented, "well I guess I won't be shooting any quail out of the air!" He finally shot an old boot that I found and threw at his feet, which peppered up pretty good, with about a two foot pattern. I'm not sure I would count on it to kill snake.

@@johnshields9110 Can't speak to the 22mag but I've used 22lr on a water moccasin next to the boat and 38 special on a couple of varmints. The leads only really effective close range on pests like rats snakes and while probably not lethal should make an intruder think twice especially if you're sending it to the upper parts of the body. Close range and thinner skinned targets are the key which also means it should pose any real danger to the other side of a wall 😉

I grew up on a ranch in Runnels Co., Texas. When I was a young man, working in the pastures, I asked my father for a handgun to protect myself from rattlesnakes, which were abundant. He gave me a Colt Official Police .38 Special revolver. We had a well set up reloading operation at home, for both metallic cartridges and shotshells. I made up some . 38 handloads with #9 shot using a chamfered case to cut wads from the thin cardboard that came in shirts. I was using Red Dot powder, a card wad, #9 shot and another card wad to seal the case and a slight roll crimp. We didn't have the benefit of these "shot capsules" at the time. Suffice to say, they were miserable failures at killing snakes beyond 5-6 feet, though they worked well _within_ 5 feet. I eventually gave up on the .38 revolver for snake protection and switched to a S&W .22 LR Model 34 Kit Gun. I used regular 40 gr. lead bullets. I could head shoot a snake at a greater distance with .22 LR loads than I could with .38 shot loads. Later, when these shot capsules became available for handloading, I tried them again. I tried both .38 and .44 caliber capsules in .38 Special and .44 Special cases. Again, similar results...within the range they were _reliably_ effective at killing snakes, a .22 LR bullet was just as effective. Nothing ever replaced the .22 revolver for snake protection for me. FWIW, when my father passed away, I inherited a lot of his guns, but my older sister got the Official Police. A few years ago, my older sister passed away and her husband gave me the old Colt revolver. It is still in my safe and I even fired a few shots out of it today when I went to the range.

A certain Granddaddy I knew as a child (I was the child, not him!😄 And I won’t say whose granddaddy he was; wouldn’t want to sully his name and memory.) had a henhouse. He and his wife did pretty well, all things considered. In fact, they did so well that some of the neighbors seemed a bit envious. After about 3 of his hens came up MIA, he ran out of patience and good will. He had an idea who the culprit was, so he decided he’d be there to greet him at the henhouse for his next late night visit. So he took an old canvas camp chair and set it up. Now, if memory serves, it was an old 10 gauge dbl barrel black powder “county sweeper” he took with him. Of course, not wanting to tear the poor chap in half, Mr Granddaddy opened up a couple of shells (they were paper back then) and replaced the shot with dried blackeye peas and rock salt🤣. When asked if he was concerned that those “loads” were too light to even reach the target, he just smiled and said he was gonna be right behind the door. Well, to make a long story short, Mr Granddaddy’s suspicions about the culprit were right, and it was probably a month before that guy could sit down again. And he probably never wanted to see another chicken for the rest of his life!😄 True story - as far as I know.

CCI clearly states that it's intended for "close-range pests" (but does not define close range) and that it is not intended to cycle semi-autos. I found a couple of 3rd party retailers that mentioned "up to 15 ft". CCI says nothing about a smooth bore barrel but, judging by the 5ish inch pattern you got here, 15 feet could spread out to about 24"+/-. With that kind of spread and 159 pellets/shot (#12: 2,385/oz × 1/15oz per shell), you'd have about 2" between each of the 0.05" lead balls. Your 3" lemon *might* have caught 4-5 of them and at a much slower velocity than the 1,000f/s at the muzzle. Another site said, regarding #12 in general, "... good for snakes and rats...a range of about 6-10 feet". So, is it useless? Not entirely, but (following CCI's recommendations) I would not use it for self-defense, unless I foresaw the likelihood of being jumped by a salad. IF you load it into a smooth bore bolt or lever action AND you set your expectations correctly (rats, NOT elk!), you'll probably be very satisfied with it. If you continue to judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will always disappoint you. - paraphrased from Albert Einstein

Hey, you gotta know that this stuff is not intended for long distance use, or sporting game, it is not a substitute for a shotgun. Years ago, I was at my brothers home when he discovered a mouse eating from his dogs food bowl. He calmly reached for a nearby 6 inch revolver which was loaded with shotshell, (although to be fair, I believe it was a .38 cal.), and from a distance of about eight ft., dispatched said rodent with one shot. Instant kill, with no collateral damage at all. That's really more of its intended purpose, to my way of thinking anyway. Don't expect more from it than it's designed for. Just sayin'.

I used to keep it loaded with hollow points, but after getting a new modern semi-automatic handgun it seemed a waste of time to keep self defense ammo in the revolver. I live rurally and sometimes the dogs find a snake or critter and I have to search for ammo for the appropriate gun to use on them. Now I just leave the old revolver loaded with shotshells for when the dogs alert on something. The shotshells have worked great so far on everything from snakes to opossums and I no longer have to choose which gun to use and start rummaging thru ammo. Repurposing the old revolver has worked perfectly.

As one person mentioned farmers often use this to kill rats in grain bins. The #12 rat shot and low power/quick energy dissipation make it perfect for firing in either wooden grain bins in a storage shed or barn or steel/aluminum Butler buildings that store grain. The distances are usually under 3 yards and I have never had a .22 LR ricochet with enough force to even make a mark on hand or arm, however I always wore protective glasses when shoot in steel buildings and wells. There was the other excellent use for these little shotshells. Our old han dug wells that were rock lined. Snakes LOVED to hole up in them in the winter. A Colt Woodsman .22 semi auto was great but had to manually eject part of the time because there is not enough recoil to cycle the semi-auto - an old Sears (High Standard) 8 or 9 shot revolver or a Taurus 94 was perfect for taking out rattle snakes & copperheads and other non venomous but aggressive snakes before you had to go down in the well to replace the sucker leathers or make other repairs. A lot easier to use a hand gun in the well as you could hold flashlight with the other hand. I never relied on one shot to take out a poisonous rattler or copperhead, I made sure the head of each and every one was well perforated before climbing down that ladder.

From a 24” barrel bolt action rifle, the velocity is greatly increased. They aren’t designed for long range. You can still stay out of strike range of a snake & kill it,, or kill rats from a few yards with a pistol or rifle with .22 ratshot. Of course, 38 Special or 44 Special, 45 Colt, 9mm or 45 ACP ratshot is more effective. May as well just use a .410 shotgun, but the various calibers of ratshot is a way to use whatever gun you have for pests or snakes.

I have a Marlin 39A Golden Mountie .22 LR that has been loaded with nothing but bird shot for decades. I have run a couple hundred rounds thru it. The Winchester without the shot capsule was about 30% more effective. We used it for huge flocks of sparrows that would roost up in the barn rafters, 20 ft up and at either end of the barn. starlings, carpenter bees, and rats. I certainly made those shots at way more than 3 yards. Probably 35 feet was about the effective limit, but several longer shots were sometimes effective, but believe it or not, I got 2 starlings and a sparrow on the wing! Only tried it 4 times, so a 75% rate ain't bad. However, It was ONLY useable out of that Marlin. I always attributed that to the fact that it has "Micro-groove" shallow rifling, thus not spinning the shot very well. It shot better dirty, so we didn't clean the bore very often. It sometimes wouldn't break the shot capsules. I think the shot capsule debris affects the pattern. They didn't pattern nearly as well as the crimped case style. It had a good pattern out to about 25-30 feet. Also, often, velocity isn't your friend for holding tight patterns .22 win mag may be too hot.

It's worth mentioning that rat shot comes in all sorts of calibers. I've seen 3 possums meet their maker to this stuff (regular .22lr wasn't great and took 2, but 40 s&w just deletes their brain doing the job instantly) and it's no joke at the proper range. I think a lot of people hear "shotshell" and think it's akin to a shotgun, but it's really not. They're largely meant to be fired from a pistol at real close rangers. It's technically referred to as pest control (or rat/snake-shot) and is meant to kill pests, (like rats and snakes, who knew!? lol) just outside of striking distance/hidden in a bush where you don't know specifically where it is but you really don't want to go poking around to find out. Not personally a fan of .22lr or .22wmr as other calibers will fit more powerful guns and do the job much more efficiently. Using a long gun is also kinda pointless since most calibers are pistol calibers and the accuracy is trash beyond like 3x arms reach. Just a pest control round, and if you carry a 9mm, 40S&W, 45 Auto, 357, etc and have issues with rats/squirrels/snakes/etc, then they're a godsend. We mostly just use them to kill possums we've trapped that our trying to kill our small farm-animals.

The 22 LR shotshell, loaded in a revolver, is perfect for Rat hunting in the house! Had a little problem, after Hurricane Laura, with a couple of rats that came in while house was under repair. These shotshells work great on big rats at 3 ft for sure!

Basic info. These are meant for handguns and "SNAKE" distance. Hence why it's usually called snake shot. Be it the rimfire or centerfire the longer the barrel the more holes in the pattern because of the spin imparted by the rifling. Less distance to travel, less spin imparted better pattern. I don't know if it's still out there, but there used to be a "rat" shot cartridge that had the shot inside the case and the mouth was star-crimped. There were some smoothbore .22 rifles that used these for well, rat and vermin shooting for the reasons some folks below have pointed out. Less damaging to structures. At a few feet though, the snake shot splats good no matter what it comes out of. Speaking of snakes. Today here in SW Texas, we were having a meeting for our little, online magazine (The Fort Clark Dispatch) when one of the ladies said, "Is that a snake?" Yep, there in the board room where we were meeting was a baby rattlesnake that almost blended into the carpet. Naturally, the ladies and I took photos and kept an eye on it until the Security/Wildlife manager popped in with the grabber and hauled it out. I was proud of those ladies. Like proper, rural Texas women they were like, "Huh, how about that." Just matter of fact.

I love these. I use the Long Rifle version. I find the WMR tends to spread out too fast. The pattern seems to blow apart out of a rifled barrel of carbine length as well. The Long rifle cartridge holds together better, especially out of a 5.5 inch Single Six barrel. At 10 feet it is about an 8-10 inch spread, with a 60/40 point of impact. Took out another rat 2 days ago. Measured 16 inches nose to tail. That makes about 8 so far this year. Right around 15 foot shot. Any further than that and it just stings them.

Funny story...About twenty-some years ago my dad was visiting during bird hunting season. He bought the out of state license. I only had one shotgun at the time. We tried to buy one for him but the store said that it could take anywhere from one to three days because he was from out of state. So, he said forget that. I had a 22lr pistol and some shot shells so my dad said he would give it a try. While we were up in the mountains, he walked up to a tree and took a shot. He got it. That grouse (along with a few others) really tasted yummy that day.

I’ve killed countless snakes with cci 22lr rat shot in a small SW revolver. The point of using rat shot is that it does little or no damage to the floor if it is indoors and no worries of a deadly ricochet in the rocks. You can’t snipe water moccasin from across the pond, but you can safely blast a copperhead at your feet. I recently shot one in my house. Behind the plastic garbage can. It killed the snake and made blood red and lead grey dots on the floor and plastic. This is easy to clean. When hauling or moving rocks, you are eventually going to run across a few snakes. The pellets flatten on the rocks and there is little to no dangerous splash. If you want a good snake gun that is for distance shots get a long barrel 410 birdshot. Don’t bother with the pistol 410 for snakes. The spread is so quick you have to be within feet from the snake to use it effectively. At that point you might as well just use the cheaper and safer 22 rat shot.

As many others have said, it is a very close range load and most often used out of a revolver. Side arm shotshells are a personal defense weapon against small things brought to us by Mother Nature. While I own a .22 WMR revolver, my normal around the farm, hunting and fishing carry is a Ruger 101 in .38. The first 2 rounds are shotshells and the other 3 are cast handloads. When shooting shotshell loads, the idea is to be as close as you can be to the target without putting yourself in danger. While I’m sure there are some here that could easily pop a snake’s head from 10 feet with a solid round, I’m not one and so the wider pattern of a shotshell is definitely appreciated.

Out of my Ruger you'd get about a 12 inch pattern at that distance. You'd definitely put a few in the snake, but getting any in the head would be 50/50 at best. It might be better in a longer barrel, but I haven't tried it. Obviously using a snake load works best the closer you get. The target in this area is copperheads, which don't get that large and have a fairly limited striking distance, making close up shots relatively safe.@@Eddie-uf8oo

When I was a kid working on a farm (read 1970's) I found these invaluable for killing rats in the hay barn. I used a Remington model 241. I wasn't using magnum rounds. All you need to do is make rats bleed and the job is done, they'll bleed out. I was shooting in a slate roof barn so ball or shotgun rounds were going to do too much damage to the barn. I wasn't that close. Probably often 10-20 feet away and still hit the rat every time. One thing I did learn shooting rats was, they knew the direction shot was fired from and to a rat, every one of them tried to attack me. And I shot 100's of rats (they took up residence inside the corn chopper that was parked in the hay barn). They all died and I went through about a half a case of these before I got all the rats that would show themselves.

You'd get a lot more range with the smooth barrel of a "garden gun." The rifling imparts a rotation to the swarm of pellets and the centrifugal force scatters them considerably and the pattern shows a fairly empty hole in the middle beyond three or four yards. When I was a kid in Italy I shot a 9 mm Flobert rimfire cartridge in a smooth-bore single-shot shotgun. I went with it to a friend's farm and at sunset I shot at the sparrows roosting in the pine trees. All shots were within 10-15 yards, and the sparrows fell dead. However, those little metallic cartridges contained more pellets than the .22 Magnum shells you used here and are charged with more powder. They have an odd shape, with the diameter of the rear (in which the powder is contained) much larger than that of the long front end that contains the pellets, and must be used in a shotgun chambered for them. Fiocchi sells them, but they are quite expensive, not reloadable, and I do not know if guns chambered for them are easily obtainable here. I've never seen one in the U.S.

You need the Marlin 25 mg to make them perform.

There is a reason the old timers call these rounds "rat shot" or "snake shot". I believe my uncle had some in 38 special.

I keep a magazine loaded up with shot cartridges in my .40sw carry gun when I'm out in the pasture near the creek. Copperheads are plentiful around here. It is very effective at 2 to 3 yds. About an 8 inch pattern.

I have been trying to find them in 22 long rifle for years and finally found some. When you have a chipmunk problem or a red squirrel problem, you don't always have the chance to line up like you would want to with a 22 so that is the answer and normally I'm figuring about 10 yards maybe a little less with them. Otherwise I'm limited to 22 shorts so I'm not doing any damage to the surrounding
