Head shot thread

[coastal drifter]

Was re-tuning my .25 M4 earlier today (put a 1:16 slug liner in and upped power for heavier slugs) and playing around with pellets to see how the liner does with them. Was shooting at my 50 yard target box (full of rubber mulch - I like my neighbors…), which is a 42 yard out of my basement window if I rotate it around 45 degrees. Oh boy… the liner, or at least the one I got, stacks 34gr pellets at 910fps. Literally anny I tried, JSB heavies, MK II, JTS annd AEA (AEA being the best - multiple one hole groups, can’t wait to try further out…). That’s around 62 ftlbs. But I’m getting sidetracked… So here I am, stacking 33.9 AEAs on the target box and this guy literally jumps on top of the box and eats a walnut!! Normally I don’t use a .25 for squirrel (but maybe I will going forward)… A heavy “plock”, dropped on the spot, and I saw the pellet smack into a tree 20ish feet behind the box. Went clean through and pushed the brains out the entry hole…

34s are sweet ammo. I've hit shotgun shells out to 135y repeatedly. They buck the wind pretty well too.

Yeah was crossing my fingers that the liner will like them… given how well it does with them I’ll give 25gr a shot (pun intended), let’s see how that goes…

Mine Keyholes them. From 865-924fps.

Hades perform the best. Flat out. Perfectly stable, laser trajectory at high speed. Was a beautifully accurate thing I saw Sunday. I had shot all the slugs I brought. Had. A tin of Hades..at 35m the POI WAS high 1 moa right .75moa it followed that center dot on my scope like it was a singularity.. like it was part of the stadia

Edit
Hades are longer, so I'm assuming longer pellets stabilize better at high twist than stubby 25.4s
Its my guess. Im gonna try some barracudas and cuda hunters with mine next time out.

Got some here, will try them tomorrow!! Though I feel like nothing beats AEA pellets these days. JTS are very very close but AEA work phenomenal in any gun I put them so far.

I agree. I shoot only AEA 25.3s when i shoot 25 pellets. In 22 only 16gr and 18.3s. They're unbelievably good.

Nice shot

Notos 17gr Griffin LDC 218. 840fps.
I was sitting out back typing on an AGN post, and he starts climbing the bird feeder, and starts tearing the suet block to shreds. That stopped quickly. Hit the rear corner of his eye Exited through the bottom of his right ear canal. 18y.

Already tied him to a hobby weather balloon and let helium take him to the gods. He's halfway to Olympus by now!

One of these days I'm gonna make a pellet pouch. Gotta wait until one has elephantiasis or just a massive pair.

This is the one I need. Bounty, 2 tins of your choice from any supplier. I really wanna make this pellet pouch.
