I bought some at Brigadoon Army Surplus in Del City had a couple of weeks ago they still had about 5 boxes left then.

How do they do out of a short barreled revolver?

Not sure. I've used the .38s out of a 4-inch barrel and they worked immediately. If you've shot many snakes, you know how they can thrash, even with a headshot from a .22....the .38 snakeshot makes them drt.

OK,, Here is what I do. I buy the Speer plastic shot capsuls from Midway or H&H in OKC for .38 and .44. Fill up the capsul with #9 Birdshot, put the lid on it and put it in cap first in a Primed and powdered casing, push the capsul down in case and use a slight crimp. In the .38s I use 4.5 gr Unique,,, in the .44s I use 5 gr unique. Out of a 4in Bbl at 20 ft the .38 makes a about a 16, 18 in circle. The Speer box of plastic capsuls says how much grs for different powders to use. I carry the snake shot in a 3in S/S SP101 while out in the brush working. It works for me.

I just purchased 4 boxes at Academy today. The one on I-240 & Walker, OKC.. They had about 25 boxes left. They are 21.59 each box.
A little pricey but they have them.
I shoot them out of my 2", J Frame Airweight 38 Spl. They are great out to about 5 steps, as far as I have tried them on snakes and pop cans.
