thanks i thought they were to good to be true
I've shot rats and snakes effectively using a rifle at around 5-7m. Very useful cartridges.
The 38/357 cartridges out of a revolver are great too.

rats in the garden up to 10yds max i was thinking take the first and bang bang bang on the run
This. Yes they'll have enough velocity to actually shoot clean through a squirrel at fifteen or twenty yards but they'll not have enough pattern to be certain of hitting a vital spot. Used them maybe forty plus years ago. Shot a running squirrel at fifteen yards and you could see the blood on the pile of stone slabbing behind. But it didn't either kill it dead right there nor even roll it over. And at shorter ranges the pattern is so tight (this through a Webley .22 RF Garden Gun) that to be truthful an air rifle is a better weapon. If the quarry is stood or sat still an air rifle is a better choice. If the quarry is running the pattern isn't adequate. A gimmick. Good for "Kit Gun" (Smith and Wesson Model 34) use on snakes in the USA. Useless for what we shoot in the UK IMHO where handguns are illegal. If you are obliged to use a long arm (as handguns are banned where you live) then there are better choices.

I'm assuming bang, bang, bang you're thinking semi auto? I'd be very surprised if they would cycle.
I got some last year, part of my duties include trapping squirrels and I thought they'd be just the job for cage shooting.
I found them to be woefully underpowered plus I didn't want to put them through the moderator.
I've since got some .38 shot shells which are much more useful!
I had one of these, on s1, back in the day. Four shot detachable magazine as well as three shot detachable magazine. They are nasty as when the action cycles it also ejects back at you unburned powder and the like as it is simple blowback not a locked breech. Again...avoid!

I only ever used them through a single shot so wouldn't know about a semi auto but I would be surprised if they cycled.Buy a box to try,if the price is right,and give them a whirl.You may be pleasantly surprised but that wasn't my experience with them.
I use the federal shotshell for grey squirrels and mink in cages, only 2ft max range from the target as that’s how long the cages are but they are great for that job,no damage to the cages either
They didn't cycle in a semi auto for me either - no great hardship though.

Aye don't let me put you off, get yourself a box and test them out.
To be fair I put them through a browning bl22 (great wee rifle bought for knocking around as it is open sights and really short,plus I’ve always wanted a cowboy gun look a like and it’s fun and cheap to run with subsonics that’s still rabbit useable out to 80 yards with practice)
