hmm nchawkey has a good idea i shoulda thought of...

carry a 22 semi when in the snake woods...11rds of cci mini mags aughta have it dead..and can pull the trigger as fast as you can and still hit where your pointing...shoulda thought of it as i have a buckmark....

and a 22 pistol is GREAT to practice with..no recoil and cheap...and the buckmarks and ruger mk IIs are accurate buggers...

and new you can pick them up under 400$..i think...been a while..

so that would allow you a snake gun...wouldnt be completely useless if you happened to need it for self defense like snake rounds would be...and allows for cheap practice...i got thousands and thousands of rounds through the buckmark...cant afford to do that in the bigger pistols i own...

but, a shot load is likely just a primer?? and very little report?? i dont know...just my guess..10rds of a 22lr is gunna be a little loud...but, you can do it with 1 good shot and it wouldnt be hard to take aim and put one through its head..but if im scared enough of snakes to shoot em, im dumpin 10! lol
