Best shotgun shell for snakes?
Posted on 6/11/16 at 11:28 pm

Which shot would be the most effective at say 10 to 15 feet away? Have discovered a LOT of water moccasins in my yard and want to make sure I get em after one shot.

At 10-15 feet with a 26" barrel, you might as well use #8 low brass. Not much spread at that distance.

It doesn't really matter

thats about what I was figuring. Even after I hacked down the grass in the very back, them snakes are still all around out there, and I don't need some vet bills on my dog for a snake bite. I have a 870 so I'll give it some exercise tomorrow on the slithering ones.

That's what I expect. Then he'll be asking for the best shell for rats.

I have three nutria traps set. I'm so excited to destroy them

Flame-thrower-bazooka shot, of course

Just get some low brass birdshot. 8's will be fine. I've killed tons of them with 10's out of 22 pistols so a shotgun is like firing the damn New Jersey at them in comparison.
