Exactly. I used to call it snake shot. But with a .22, you need to get right on top of 'em to kill then with one round. There ain't much "shot" there to work with!

Thanks, I'll have to look it up. I've got some ground squirrels that like to tunnel around in my yard. The little rats are so shy though that you would likely have to lay in wait and ambush them to get them.

He is not using rat shot, he's using .22 bullets, probably shorts. He knows how to shoot, and he's obviously careful since he has 4 shots 4 kills.
He wouldn't have 4 dead squirrels with rat shot, that stuff wouldn't be effective on a squirrel past 10 feet. I have hit large rats with it in a barn at 20 feet and watched them run off.

We call it snake shot. It wouldn't kill a snake, but it would stop a rattler from striking. I'm surprised in has killed anything with it.

Right we always called it snake shot. We did not shoot squirrels with it.
