I tried this with my 1858 Uberti carbine. The way I did it was, 30gr. Goex fffg, one of Gatofeo's felt wads, enough #8 shot to almost fill the chamber and covered that up with Crisco to keep the shot from falling out. At 25 feet I found one small hole where one shot had hit a 2ft X 2ft piece of cardboard.

That's pretty much my experience as well.  A Colt 1860 clone loaded with 20gr FFFg, an over-powder wad made for a .410, enough # 7 1/2s to pretty much fill the chamber then a .410 over-shot wad topped with as much Crisco as I could get in.  Beyond 6 feet or so any snake would probably be safe... a pretty thin pattern to say the least.
