found some cool ammo

[tlfreek]

this is probably not 5 oclock news worthy, but I just (in a round about way) inherited some ammo. while most is fairly traditional I got some 22LR that is bird shot. It's basically a 22 shell that appears crimped at the tip that contains shot.

I suspect most of you may know about it. I had no idea. very cool.

Snake shot...At least that's what we always called/used it for when I was a kid.

Don't try and kill a raccoon with it. It only pisses them off. Good medicine for rats, if you get them to hold still long enough.

Its fantastic for rattlers, and starlings.

yup that's the stuff. I guess if they make slugs for a 12 gauge shot for a 22 isn't out of the question.

Snake shot. For use up close and personal only. #9 bird shot.

When I was a Boy Scout we had the Remington Smoothbore .22's for shooting clays at a summer camp. If I remember correctly the clay thrower was very slow and close to allow us to have a chance at hitting them.
