I've seen the .38 bird-shot, kinda pricey, so I went with the hollow points.

Ah so, I should have thought of that. But I never saw a 22 center fire
cartridge.


What's a 22B.

It's a smaller bullet (same caliber obviously but less lead) with less
charge.
To be honest I'm not sure they're being made any more.


I have 2
boxes (200) of the 22BB, we call them bird shot. Good for shooting
pigeons
and mice in the barn.

The 22BB shot I'm familiar with is a bullet, not a scatter shot. I have
some 22
shot shell charges too, we used to call it rat shot or snake shot. I've
heard
some people advocate it for personal defense because "it's hard to miss"
but a
22LR is skimpy enough for reliably taking out bad guys, bird shot would
suck for
that.

They make shot shells for lots of pistols, I used to carry them
alternating with
.38+ in a revolver. Kinda handy but again not my first choice for
two-legged
type snakes.
