[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2746781, member: 26737"] I can tell you that a .38Spl CCI Snake Shot fired from a snub-nose revolver will make a mess of a possum's face at a distance of under 3 feet. I've carried CCI Snake Shot in .38Spl and .45ACP, but, ironically enough, the only times I've shot a snake (one copperhead and one pygmy rattler), I only had a .22LR auto loaded with regular ol' lead boolits. Technically, the 12ga. was what dispatched the copperhead, but the .22 slowed him down long enough for me to retrieve the scattergun from the hacienda. FWIW, if the copperhead had gone [I]away[/I] from the house instead of heading for it, he would've been OK. Likewise, I hated shooting the pygmy (it was such a beautiful snake), but he couldn't find his way off of my deck, and my dog wasn't smart enough to stay the flip away from him. Pretty snake or not, the safety of my dog always wins over varmints. [/QUOTE]
