Snake shot for Rattlers

We've only had a very few rattlers round the house here and I shot one with a 22 shot shell. Killed it but I felt better shooting the 2nd one with 357 shot shells. Wife shot one 2 weeks ago near the garden while I was off to the east for medical work and she used her 44 with shot shells. Dang thing was kinda large for here too. He had 9 rattles. She hates snakes and shot the poor thing 3 times just to make certain...even though the first one all but took his head off. She does however let the bull snakes live. Go figure
