Can you load sandblast sand into .38 special brass to kill chipmunks in a live trap
My friend is overrun with chipmunks and has also run out of .22 shot cartridges to kill the chippers he catches in his live trap. Can he load a small powder charge, seat a wad over the powder charge, and lastly add a small amount of sandblasters sand into a .38 spec. case, and glue an over shot wad at the mouth of the case.
Anyone have any experience with a load like this? Thank you in advance.

As they use 12gauge shot guns with sand on steel tanks at my brothers place of work.
Yes you can.
You will, however after many shots of this load, discover your rifle or gun has suddenly become a smooth bore.
I may recommend a cheap bb or pellet gun since they are trapped. And point blank with such will not hurt most metal cages. I suspect point blank even a lowly co2 pellet pistol could dispatch them well.
