EFFECTIVE range is 10 feet, but you can put your brother's eye out at 20 yards--assuming you hit him, that is.

LOL that was fast I jsut got done posting the same thing in the squad BBS.
-
Didn't know there was such a thing.
What are you going to use it for? Goose rounds in either BBB, T or F are about the size of a .22LR round anyway you're only going to get one shot.
You could fill it with sand and use it for cowboy action shooting while riding a horse popping balloons?

Ok its a good thing Im the only boy.

we used to call it snake shot. I dont recall ever using 22 snake shot. But I had some for my Ruger .357 flattop. It was great for snakes and semi ok for grouse. I'd put the distance more like 4 or 5 feet. I shot a grouse once at about 10 - 12 feet, cleaned it and only found 1 pellet. It was stuck in the breast, didnt even pentrate to a vital area. The sound of the gun going off probably killed it.
-
Yea my dad calls it rat shot because when he was little he used to go kill rats with it.
Im just going to be shooting. I might sneak up on some doves and pop them. Its boring out in the country so Im ganna be spending alot of money on .410 and .22 bullets but I didnt want to get in trouble for hurting or killing any cows.
-
Stick with the .410. You wont be killing any doves with those .22 beestingers.
-
I dont know these doves out here are stupid other day I walked up about 6-7 feet from it before it flew away, and how fast I can unload the 10shot mag I might get him.

Ground swapping doves? Egads! The only birds I ground swap are geese...I hate those winged rat poop machine bastages.
What you need is a bird feeder placed close to some bushes so your cats can do their hunter/gather thing. Makes a great BB gun target too with the ever so slightly opened sliding glass door...not that I'd do such a thing.
-
A bird feeder, removed screen and a 10/22 with subsonic ammo and a homemade suppresor make for hours of suburban funtime.
so i've heard.
-
When I tried those in my 10/22, they jammed every shot. There didnt seem to be enough power to fully shove the receiver back. Stovepipe jams everytime.
I remember firing one, tipping the barrel forward and hearing those pellets roll out LOL
I cant imagine those do a rifled barrel anything good?
-
we kill snakes and rats with it at 10 feet but the rats are better served with a pellet gun. the pellet gun does a better job on raccoons also. marlin model 60 here

The pellets are not a harder steel than the barrel, but I'd be sure to clean it after using those....

Do pellet guns kill raccoons or just move 'em along? I got one pestering my backyard...big sucker too.
-
rip, only if the raccoon allows you to kill it. if it scoots then a lucky lung/heart shot will but for supreme raccoon gratification the animal needs to stand on it's hinds and hiss at you, aim for the shiny things. it works every time. practice shooting at pennies at 10- 20 feet. they have cleaned my fish pond out. they love goldfish and crawfish. we killed a 28lb male recently.

Bowls of cat food.
Live Traps.
Use separately or in conjunction.
-
That's what has attracted this monster, dog food and earthworms. He's been digging up my lawn. My dog had to go to the vet after having a coon fight with this bastard. Bit his front elbow (arthritic elbows, he's 14) and it cost me $174 for a trip to the vet ER room on a sunday. Would be a good "skinning" lesson for the kids too. ;)
-
Get yourself a live trap and put the food in a bowl in the trap. You'll have yourself a raccoon in the morning and a .22 pistol will finish the job.
DO NOT however place the trap on a deck as the raccoon will claw the bejesus out of the deck requiring you to sand and re weatherproof that portion of the deck.
-
What the range of the subsonic .22 rounds? Only ones I have here ane the long rifled .22 shells.

We live in the "un-incorporated" part of the county so firearms are okay, however our homeowners association in this 60-home estate doesn't allow firearms and I have this real nosey, anal neighbor that will ***** like hell...so I'll have to use the pellet rifle. This big presumably male is real brave, just stands there and stares when I open the sliding glass door, from 10 feet away. I'll put one in his bellybutton first and see if he really wants to return before I plink his eyebrow out.

The only way to kill a raccoon is to think like a raccoon.

Those 22 bird shot rounds are great for pissing off squirrels too. We use them to flush the red squirrles out of hiding and then pop them with the regular rounds (we use thunderbolts). Pop off a few rounds of scatter in the general direction the squirrel is hiding in, and you'll either sting him and get him pissed or hit close enough to him that he'll try and run when you stop shooting.
As for the raccoon, if you want to just get rid of him without killing him, crazy glue a piece of rock salt into the nose of a hollow-tipped pellet (either .177 or .22, either works) and pop him in the derrierre. They're smart, he'll get the idea that he's not wanted there. :)

Take you .22 rifle and tape a plastic coke bottle over the muzzle. Homemade suppresor that is good for a couple of shots. Sounds like a pellet gun. Winchester XX 37 grain jacketed hollow points and your good to go. Pop that coon in the eye from 10 feet and no more worries. Your anal neighbor wont even hear it.

Raccoons are like gophers right?
License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote.

10 feet would be stretching pistol shot effect for a 357 magnum. 22 would be about 3 feet.

Hehe! That brings back some memories. (You got to remember that I am of the age that we rode dinosaurs to school :) ) When I was a kid corn was gathered by hand and put in the corn crib of the barn for feeding the cattle through the winter. It was common practice. Sometime, usualy fall or early winter, the field rats would decide this was a perfect place to hunker down till spring. Warmth , shelter and lots of food. What more could a rat ask for? Anywho............with the crops being harvested and the soil tilled and awaiting spring planting time, this was a pretty laid back time of the year on the farms around the area. So...........for entertainment and to keep the l`il corn devourers from eating up all the corn in the cribs, this was the time of year for good ole, down home, Texas "Rat Killings". Was loads of fun, beleive me. Nearly each week it was at a different farm. The women would get together and lay out a big spread of some of the tastiest vittles you could ask for. The guys would head for the barn and the cribs loaded down with rat shot and the fun began. It was our version of PS2 :). Full graphics, full realism and excellent frame rates. :rofl

out of the rifle it's good to about 10 feet. never shot it out of a pistol before though but that would make sense. anyway the new single pump pellet guns like the tech force or the gamo are producing 1100 fps and the hunting pellets are great projectiles on small game. no need for a .22 in populated areas any longer.

On a side note...just how long does it take to properly "smoke" a 28 pound raccoon, and what is the best wood to use? :confused:

If you really do have a racoon problem, you don't have to kill everything that moves to solve it.
All creatures we consider pests follow just about one thing. Food.
No food around, no pests. Figure out what attracts them...the garbage for example? The fish pond, obviously. Remember, the smell will bring 'em in to investigate, so just securing the garbage won't keep 'em from lookin' around.
However, if you are able to simply modify the things that make your property strike the 'coons as a happenin' place...they'll just wander off.
Got some seriously big momo's around here, but they only show up to 'entertain' my dogs through the back window, then mosey on to my neighbor's house!
This advice also applies to bears, possum, mice, rats, etc...Whoever said think like a rat was right. Figure why they're there in the first place (which is almost ALWAYS food), eliminate it, and your problem self-propels elsewhere.
Good Luck!

Almost forgot...
Racoons are best when smoked with applewood for at least 8 hours, served with mint jelly and cornbread.

I gutted it, weighed it down and tossed it in the lake to attract bream which attract LMB and snook.

.22 cb caps are great! My pellet gun makes more noise and i have killed lots of rabbits at 35 yards. I have a rossi pump that works great with the caps. cheaper that dirt had a special ammo day and i bought 2500 at $5.50 a brick. Thats 20 years of good old fun.

The .22 Shotshells have ever only been used for snakes in my life. It's very satisfying to watch those fuggin snakes squirm as they die.
The .38 special shotshells are pretty much the same thing, but about 10 feet more range.
There are a few ways to deal with your raccoon. One would be to poison the food.
Another would to be trap the raccoon, and then drop the cage with a barbell into the pond.
The last option would be to just beat the raccoon on the head with a blunt object. Especially if it's gotten complacent.
The .22 will not kill it, unless you get it to sit still, and I've never seen a raccoon sit still.

Shot doesn't work great in rifled barrels. Throws a widening O pattern.
