Rimfire shot shells

.22mag shotshell is the stuff! That does a nice job on snakes. I've got some .357 mag shot shells that are pretty awesome as well. Also 9mm shot shells out of my little over under derringer are pretty cool.

I haven't seen crimp type in ages tho.

Thanks much, I truly appreciate the replys. If anyone is interested,or cares Academy, at least the one at walker & 240 carried both the cci capsules and federal crimped. the feds were in boxes of 50 and quite a lot cheaper. The last time I was there was about a year and 1/2 ago so I dont know if this is still true.

pigeon killer, out of a single six. didnt use the long rile as fear of shooting a hole in the roof. Wood boring bees, disinagates them instantly.

sparrows with a winchester pump .22; inside a barn. fun fast shooting. crimped shells no more than 10-15 feet.

I have two confirmed kills -- a June Bug and a grasshopper.

This is what I call redneck trap shooting We have the wood bees around the barn digging into the soffett. I have an old pump hex barrel .22 rifle that I put the CCI shot rimfire shot shells into and try to pick them off. Have taken them out to 10 feet, but it was a lucky pellet. The pattern is pretty big at that range.
Used to shoot dragon flys at the pond years ago until finding out they eat skeeters as a main diet.
I have some for my .22 .38, .44, and .45ACP.
Bought some of the empty shot cups from Speer for the .44 a couple of years ago, but haven't gotten around to loading any.
I will say the .45 acp shotshell from CCI patterns the best.

You all are doing much better than I am. A couple years ago I tried to shoot a deadly poisonous garden snake with a 22 revolver & cci capsules. I don't think I even got his attention. (range about 6 feet) I probably missed him all 6 times, emptied the sucker at him,and finally beheaded him,(or her) with a hoe. Have reloaded and used 38/357 shot caps and they are a different story. Will blow the heck out of a soft aluminum can at close range.

Snakes in the attic, CCI capsule type. Very effective!
