I’m not sure
How do I tell if this stuff is snakeshot or blanks, or?

It doesn’t feed reliably in most semi-autos
Most of the semi autos Ive owned don't feed reliably, for backyard issues I keep around a S&W 63

Shoot one at a rat. If the rat flops...rat shot. If it doesnt, blank or you suck at shooting :p
BTW that crimped rat shot Peters brand wasn't worth a crap.
The CCI with the blue plastic tip gives a better pattern.

The ones with the crimped ends is rat shot ( i have shot a lot of them over the years and still have some today sitting on the shelf)

Yes. ^^^^Same here.
For those that haven't used them, it's typically #12 shot which is tiny and doesn't carry much penetration. You have to be really....REALLY close to kill a rat or snake with them because the rifling in the barrel really spreads the shot out quickly.
Quickly like a foot diameter in a few feet. Not many pellets within that diameter.
I use them on the wood bees that come around the house. Call it redneck trapshooting. They hover just before going into the nest, and they go down. I could use spray on them, but the shot shells are more fun.
You can buy capsules from speer to load your own using whatever shot you want. I have some for .38 and some for .44. Killed one rabbit with the .44 a few years back. I was using #7.5 shot at about 4 yards. Only three pellets hit it after taking the skin off and it was just sitting there sideways under a bush. Dead is dead though.
Remington 552 eats it just fine. Learned that many decades ago when my grandpa accidentally bought some. I didn’t know any better and loaded up, started shooting at the target. He made fun of me for not hitting it. We pulled back the target, I hit it all right. Those are tiny, tiny shot.
