Re: .22 subsonic as snake ammo in suburbs?
In the late 60's-early 70's I did a lot of squirrel hunting with an original 1892 "gallery model" .22 short rifle. My favorite place was crawling with large copperheads that really needed thinning out, and I shot quite a few with the shorts.... sometimes successful, and sometimes not. It was pretty amazing how those shorts would often "roll off" and do nothing more than knock of some scales and give the snake a bad attitude. A big rattler ...???? .... your call on the subsonics.
