I've tried to buy these for 5 years, with no luck. Found 'em in a damned Cabela's... 4 days after I could have used them in snake country. At least they won't go bad before my next hunt in snake land. FC

I suppose I should pattern 'em like a shotgun before heading afield, no?

Yes, you should pattern them. You need to be close, like 10' or less.

No need to pattern, they are good to about 15' on red squirrels and chipmunks. I found an assortment of snake loads in 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, and 45 Colt a few years back and have been using them to shoot critters in outbuildings. I'd like to find some more myself.

I used to buy them in 44 and shoot starlings with a Super Blackhawk as they were flying in between the barns

anyone tried to make some? Yes. I have an old set of RCBS dies that allows you to make them from shortened 308 brass. They look nearly identical to the CCI product, other than the brass case. I've loaded quite a few of them and experimented with shot pattern of different loads. IMO - for the time involved, just buy the CCI shotshells if you can.

Was in Academy yesterday and they had them as well as the same in 40 S&W that I never knew existed.

Well, it's getting to be that time of year... Yup. I bought a pack of the 38/357 shotshells earlier today for that reason.

I prefer shotshells loaded with rock salt and nails.
The rock salt if you don't want to hurt something bad and the nails if''n you change your mind while their on the way.

Huh. I didn't notice them being scarce. But then - I've got the most of the same couple of packs left I've had for a few years.

If you ever see these, grab em. They're super effective with the #12's & function well in a good 1911.. Sadly, they're no longer made.

Anyone know if CCI or anybody else makes shot shells for 9MM???
Sure would be handy to have along when sage rat hunting in eastern Oregon.
Thanks! Virgil B.

I ineed some of those. In case I am ever charged by a snake. I could give them rapid fire and lay down a hail of shot that would be destructioning destruction to a crafty serpent bent on chasing me down and jumping on me and fanging me to death.
ATENTION, ATTENTION ARE THERE ANY EXPERTS HERE ON SHOOTING CHARGING SNAKES WITH SHOT CARTRIDGES?
At least it wont be a tired subject that has a never ending plot.

Serpent Loads. For the evil Serpent. The stealthly,creepy, beady eyed demon of the underworld that strikes terror in the minds of the young and old, male and female and the inbetween. If one has snake loads does that mean he is going snake hunting? That is THE question.
