Looked for some but the stores here don't carry .22WMR shot shells for some reason
ETA: and a question Why does no one make rat shot for .380? If they do I haven't found it
Spring just started yesterday.Austin's predicting 89°F high for mid week. Spring is nearly over.
Whistler,
LOADING your own rat shot isn't hard. = BUY the rat shot capsules (the same size as 9x19mm) & put them together quickly.
yours, satx
Cool I didn't know they made capsules. I reload shotgun shells also but never thought to look for such a thing.
Only reason I ask is I have a RM380 that fits in the pocket of anything I wear. Convenient for a quick trip out to the shop.
histler,
FYI, I just called & got off the phone with Ed, my brother of the heart, who has forgotten more than I know about reloading.
Ed said that NOBODY makes a shot capsule anymore that is suitable for .380ACP. = As in a company "once upon a time" DID but NO more.
Sounds like the FAST smokeless powder, cardboard wad, #11 shot, over-wad, crimp & fingernail polish is the BEST idea in that caliber, for "legless invaders".
yours, satx
Thank you very much for taking the time to check into this for me and skfullen for the recipe. I'll definitely give it a 'shot' and will let you know
I'd like to see a tutorial on that.I load my own. 32 long and .38 special rat shot without capsules. A couple grains of Unique, a cardboard wad, about 60 grains of shot, a plastic wad, crimp and a dab of finger nail polish. Easy peasy. Magic on belly-crawling vermin.
North Texas snakes have to work harder & sooner. They have a shortened slithering season.LOL, I am laughing. Y'all are talking about snakes being early in March. Criminy, I have been seeing snakes out since January. Any day over freezing is a potential day for snakes to be out.
I know a guy down there who was going to go out to try his luck hunting pythons for the bounty. He said he was afraid to do so because of the high number of yahoos with guns and no gun sense.These guys hunting pythons in Florida should be using guns not their hands. They don't have to be alive for the bounty and they just kill them anyways. I guess they get additional money from the parts.
I have a little Colt Cobra in .32 S&W long. Nost of the ammo I find for it are wadcutters. Was wondering what to dig with it.I'll add that .32 S&w long makes a great pocket pistol. H&R and S&W both made them. Highly underrated.
