I once shot a rattlesnake on a limestone outcrop about 10 or 15 feet away with a 22 LR revoler (S&W 617 with a 3 inch barrel) loaded with rat shot. A couple of the little pellets hit me on my left temple. I picked them out with my fingernail. Glad I was wearing my bullet proof glasses.
By the way, I switch back to regular 22 LRs for rattlesnakes. They kill faster and are not as prone to bounce off in all directions like the rat shot. (Cheaper, too).
