[QUOTE="rifle02, post: 5102593, member: 20050"] I normally don't encounter snakes much and I normally don't kill them when I do. But as for my preferred snake killer load the only time I used it was when sneaking along the base of a hardwood ridge in North Georgia and I came to a "beech spring". I noticed an unusual amount of chipmunks there which should have tipped me off. The trail crossed the little creek coming out of the spring which was only about three feet wide. I naturally jumped across the creek and came down on the biggest Copperhead I've ever seen. I instantly jumped a foot off the ground. The snake struck the side of my shoe so hard it nearly caused my foot to go out from under me. I spun around and instinctively and compulsively employed my preferred snake killer load. 90 grains of black powder topped with a 370 grain T/C Maxi ball. I've had a half dozen or so close calls since that time I have avoided stepping on any more snakes. If I do in the future I will have to again employ my preferred snake killer load which would be 280 Ackley improved. [/QUOTE]
