A lady I know wants to carry a small .22 revolver around her horse property in the foothills as she is coming into contact with rattlesnakes on a regular basis. I've shot some CCI .22 cal birdshot loads and was notat all impressed. Has anyone used an effective load ? At this point the lady is trying to kill the snakes ( I'm not taking a position on whether this is the right or wrong thing to do, mind you) with rakes, pitchforks, and the occasional cinder block.
Thanks for your help !
