What’s a proper gun for snake hunting? I’m thinking a big bore revolver loaded with snake shot but have no idea.
22 pistol w/snake shot is more instantly deadly.
The smaller shot gives a better pattern, and is enough.
Shorter barrels, to a point, give tighter patterns, for some reason.
I have loaded 38 and larger shot shells with #11 shot with excellent results.
The late Al Miller did a well researched article on snake loads - what year, I don't remember. A long time back, though.
