My brother carries what he calls a "snake load" in a couple of chambers of
his handgun.  It is a VERY fine shot and pretty much just shreds them.  I
agree--if you're going to shoot them, shot is the way to go instead of
bullets.  I have a wonderful old .410 shotgun that has killed its share of
rattlesnakes--but I never seem to have it with me when I'm irrigating or
riding.  Hence I've killed a lot more with the ol'
"whatever-rocks-and-sticks-are-on-hand" method over the years...
