.22 snake shot

[Wheezy50]

I don't know if anyone cares, but I thought i'd share a photo of .22 "birdshot" from a Taurus 94.

I wanted to get an idea of the pattern at about 10' (frog hunting distance)

This looks like it will do nicely!

I'm sure the frogs are NOT gonna be happy with you!!

For 10', that's a better pattern than I expected.

.22lr frog shot

For 10', that's a better pattern than I expected.

Me two...I'm gonna buy more now. Will it kill a two legged prince? Do frogs have four legs or two arms? Can you eat frog arms? Hmmm....

How many shots is that on the target?

That was one single shot.

I didn't measure the exact distance, might have been a foot or so closer, let's say 8-10 ft.

Interesting. I hadn't considered them for getting some frog legs You think the shot will go all the way through? I don't wanna be biting into lead.

Impressive, I tried hunting with my 5 1/2" MKIII and couldn't hold a pattern to kill past 5 feet. Now I am looking tor a cheap 22lr rifle.

Go shoot an empty plastic bottle. Then you will have just manufactured a baby rattle.

Is this what happens when the only ammo readily available at Wal-Mart meets a day with nothing else to do? Just kidding, but wish I wasn't kidding about the ammo part. Should dispatch creepy crawlys nicely.

Is that CCI with the plastic cup or the crimped brass Remington?

That's exactly why this picture was taken! Little extra time to kill, and regular .22 ammo is impossible to find.

That and I am interested in hunting frogs with it this summer. I would think that from 10' and closer it will be plenty lethal. I guess next time I will need a penetration test

The plastic cup CCI

22 Bird shot rounds have sure evolved over the years. Any other old timers like me remember the brass case 22 bird shot with the crimped end ? All they were was lead flakes. Not sure you could kill a bird with them if you were standing on top of it. Dad used to shoot them out of a old Winchester 62 pump and I think most of the flakes stuck to the inside of the barrel.
