Browning Ammunition decided to do something about snakes and troublesome vermin at close range with its Trail Force, which is a .38 Spl. duplex load that combines No. 9 shot with two copper-plated lead disks at top and bottom, sandwiching the smaller shot between them. Total payload out of a brass .38 Spl. case is 130 grs. or 1/4 oz. The disks engage the firearm’s rifling, allowing them to fly straight while the shot spreads in pattern, as would be expected of other snake or rat shot loads. We can’t wait for the .45 Colt. browningammo.com
