CCI is also making these with #4 shot in certain chamberings. 9x19, 38Sp/357, 44Sp/Mag, & 45Colt.
There is nothing made by man, which cannot be broken by woman.

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. Not long after I bought my S&W Mod 29 (complete with presentation case), I saw a small rattle snake crossing a hard packed road. I grabbed my revolver, jumped out of the truck and advanced on the snake. After carefully aiming at the coiled up snake, at a distance of about 8 ft, I pulled the trigger! The 44 mag hollow point bullet over penetrated the snake, striking the hard packed road, which erupted into a small crater. In the process of this, the eruption caused the snake to be picked up and flung at me, striking me in the legs. This caused an immediate high stepping dance to take place in the middle of the hard packed road, along with a lot of yelling and unkind words, all while trying to hang onto my new S&W Mod 29. Made note to myself in the aftermath to get some 44 Mag shotshells, for dispatching snakes in the future.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....

anyone tried to make some? anyone tried to make some? Back in the 1980s I used to make them for .44 Special. I’d seal them with warm wax. I’d warm up wax in a tray, and turn the tray upside down and cookie cutter each round with a wax plug, after charging them. Worked pretty good.

If you would had stayed in the truck and kept going you wouldn't have had the life altering experience and the mental anguish of knowing how you looked doing the Texas Two Step while nearly soiling yourself and thinking I AM THE GREAT SNAKE HUNTER. 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.

I used to buy them in 44 and shoot starlings with a Super Blackhawk as they were flying in between the barns Yeah, I used to buy the 44 & 357 Speer capsules and load them with #8 or 9 shot, shot one gopher and few bumblebees with them. Not one of the wimpy gophers up North, one of the monsters we have down here. Good thing he didn't charge.😂

Somewhere in my shop I have a couple of 45 shot shells issued to the Army Air Core crews in WWII for shooting fish if they were downed over water and floating around in a life raft. Big red cardboard round nost long enough they had to be single fed into the chamber.
The first time I shot myself in the head...

I used to shoot Rattlers with a .25 auto. It did the job but I'd rather try some of these.

Yes they do. They will chase you down and attack. They can move about 46 miles an hour over a hundred yards. 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.

I actually did shoot a charging rattler about 25 years ago. Came around the corner on a narrow trail on the backside of Mingus Mountain and almost stepped on it, and it came on while I backpedaled. Had a 29 carried strongside with 2 CCI shotshells up first - drew and punched at ol' Jake while rolling through DA, shot charge took him amidships. He started flipping around while I squeezed off #2 single action with the sights for the anchor shot.
I've run across a lot of rattlesnakes over the years and that was the only one to ever force my hand.

They'll come for you if they're good and aggravated. Copperheads and Cottonmouths will too.

I've always been of the kind that it's just wise to kill any rattler I come across

We are now going have to have a thread: " What Load For Charging Snakes?" That will probably be good for 50 to 100 posts with pictures included of vicious vipers both alive and deceased with both photos of victims that did not stop the charge quick enough along with photos of the victorious shooters posing with the deceased unlucky evil vipers as the shootees.

Good idea, thanks. I want to see dead cottonmouths and coral snakes. I didn't take any pictures, too busy savoring the sweet nectar of victory over the low evil ones. Don't get too close with the pistola shot shells, let'em spread a bit to cover the coil.

I make my own 38's with Speer shot capsules. But 5 shots in a S&W model 60 isn't good on the ears.
