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

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?

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.

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.

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
