USD in HP22 FOR CAMPING HIKES for snake or small pest protection. In that very short barrel the pattern scatters quickly. For a snake you would need to be at very close range - probably no more than 6 feet. Seems a little pricey but a very meet product.

I had a problem with wood peckers , pecking on my house . Not the big red headed ones the little black grey /white ones . This ammo took care of the problem . Surprised me how accurate and how far it shoots . I would purchase this ammo again .

Great for blastin critters in the shop. Blast em clean off the rafters without worrying about damaging the roof. Then stomp em and save yourself a round for another critter.

About CCI 22 LR
The CCI 22 LR Rimfire Shotshell is a specialty 22 shot load built for close-range pest control, not personal defense. Instead of a traditional single bullet, it uses a fine-shot payload to create a small pattern, which can be useful around barns, sheds, farms, and other places where snakes or small rodents may be encountered.
Construction is straightforward and purpose-driven: brass case, rimfire primer, 31-grain shotshell load, and a manufacturer-rated 1000 fps muzzle velocity. For shooters comparing a .22 shotshell, 22 rat shot, or cci shotshell 22lr, the key point is that this is a niche rimfire load for close targets and small game, not a general-purpose range round.
