    I believe you, I just thought that you were being witty over a Jack Rabbit.

    Snake shot is very fine, usually like #11. You have to be very close to kill anything.
    Aim small, miss small!

    We found that shotshells in pistols were good out to about 10ft and best around 6ft. We used #9 for snakes.

    Yes it did, because the guy who handed me the revolver forgot to mention that the first three rounds were snake shot...

    Well, I received my Guns of the West paper cartridge making kit today - the second time I had a package come early. I like it. The kit looks very simple and easy to use, just time consuming and there are some days when I have plenty of time to kill. Now to scratch up for that cartridge box and appropriate belt.

    You really must get the printed catalog from Dixie Gun Works as they have alot of information on blackpowder, muzzleloading, and historical weapons and accoutrements. They will send you a copy for $5.
