I have a place in the Endless Mountains of pa an a very rural area, surrounded by state gamelands. I had been working on my antique tractor and began putting tools an gas can in my work shop. As I approach the work shop i scan the area carefully because it is snake country . Everything is clear and i go up the three steps and go in,put everything on the counter, I'M in there maybe 10 to 15 seconds and turn around and start down the stairs. Out the corner of my eye I see movement and my right leg is on the middle step and two feet from my right calf is a timber rattler in a half coil facing the direction of my leg.I very slowly pull my S&W 360PD from a hip holster It is loaded with a CCI shot load up number one. i take a careful aim and fire and leap from the steps breaking the steps.
The shot load knocked the snake over with a piece of blue plastic imbedded in it"s neck. It now goes into a full coil and rattling furiously. I aim again this time with a 125 Grain Hornaday Critical defense which takes it's head off.
The snake had plenty of life left in it after getting hit with the shot load I will now be up gunning to a 44 Bulldog for snake loads
