Pest control
« on: June 27, 2022, 06:40:22 PM »
Where can I buy snake shot shells in either .22 LR or .44 Mag? I've got some pests to remove from my property. Nobody seems to have them anymore.

We used to make our own for the 44.  There's still quite a few recipes on the internet.  We used cast lead gas checks on top of the powder and punched shoe box cardboard with paraffin to seal on top of a heavy crimp.  Sometimes just gas checks top and bottom.  Midway used to sell the shot capsules from Speer also.  One of my Speer manuals had the load data for the capsules.  Never had much luck with them much over 10 feet though, so we quit making them.
Work to live, don't live to work.

You can educate away ignorance, sober up drunkenness, but you can't fix stupid.

Those .22 shot shells were amazingly ineffective.  Yea 10 ft maybe.
