Allright Jim Sr and other smokepoleers, I posted this on THR too but I doubt I will get a response in their blackpowder forum which doesn't get too much use sometimes.
I was sitting here wondering about carrying a cap and ball revolver loaded with snake shot while fishing and if it can be done.
Now this is purely hypothetical since I love snakes and am more likely to play with one I find than to shoot it, but what if? How about shooting rodents with the snake shot at close distance? Is there shot that will work in a C&B and can flashover/chainfire be prevented somehow?
