I’d suggest using ‘snake loads’…using #9 shot, or #8 for the snakes around these parts. For sure a good idea to shoot before they’re in the boat. Yes, you can get snake loads for auto-loaders too…#9 might not go through your boat, #8’s might, both will mess it up and make it ugly. Again, shoot before it gets in the boat…..
