here is another question. I came across rimfire ammo that says its bird shot shells with #12 shot. I wonder what is it? Is it like a little shotgun shells? How good are they for grouse or quale? Will it work with semi-auto rifle? What about a spread pattern how big is it?
shot shells?

Its a VERY close quarter shell, under 15'. For pests (birds, bats, rats, etc) inside barns or up in rafters, they're decent. Minimal damage to the structure. They become ineffective very quickly. I shot some at a target about 15m away. There was slight damage to the paper, probably 75% bounced off. The cup did more damage than the actual shot did.
Not a good idea for hunting, unless you're using your rifle as a bat
, and I don't think they have the power to cycle a semi.

I keep some in the ammo box for when I'm at the range. Pigeons nest in the hut rafters and these are great for "house cleaning".

Work OK for what they are made for. We used them to shoot rats inside the barn at up to 10 ft.
There's nothing better for what their made for because their's no damage to the building but there no good for anny distance or in bushey places i seen a grouse shake 3 off in a alder swamp onetime the fourth was a short and it worked pretty good
