I also like the hard smack sound of the 18.13 grain JSB hitting a critter ...it sounds like a hornady V-max strike from my .223

Thanks SPC-Racing, that's the only way I could describe it lol...it is more of a pressure sound then anything, almost like a 2x4 striking a grain feed bag!

I recently switched to the JSB 18.13 for squirrel hunting as I found many of my shots were beyond 40 yards. I had been using the H&N Terminators 16.36 which are a semi- hollow point pellet. They cut nice a hole in the squirrels and kill well but I know their accuracy fall off after forty yards. In my TalonSS .22 cal I am only shooting the JSB's at about 730 fps but they are very accurate at further distances than the Terminators. Here is the only squirrel I shot so far with the JSB's but note the pop the shot makes when hitting the squirrel. Also without being a hp it does tend to pencil on through game doing less damage than hollow points. I of course would like to take head shots on squirrels but that does not happen all the time.

You don't need .25 hollow points, you need practice or maybe a different gun. Shotgun perhaps?

JoeWayneRhea,
Do you have a .22 rifle? If so I'll send you a handful of terminators and hunter extremes. Shoot them into a 3" cheapie candle from Walmart and get back to us

I stand corrected ! I've never shot candles , so I can't say how affective hollowpoints are on wax. I shoot pigs with a 25 caliber Cricket . Hollowpoints make no larger wound channel than a domepoint pellet on pig skulls . Possibly on smaller game at high speeds maybe the pellet flattens faster . I honestly can't say as I don't shoot birds or squirrels and such

Those of us in Ohio don't have a plethora of pigs, we do have lots of chipmunks, tree rats, and rabbits with fair amount of ground hogs in the spring/summer. On smaller game, it does make a difference. When I get my Impact I look forward to seeing how it handles ground hogs.
I picked up a few cheap candles from Walmart just to see what the difference was between the 18.13 Exacts and a few tins of the .22 hollow points I have. BIG difference. Exact drilled a clean hole right though it. Terminator went 3/4 of the way through and Hunter extreem about 1/3 of the way though before the energy being dumped literally blew the candle into a bunch of pieces.

I've backed off hunting but I have killed a rabbit at 120 yards using 18 gr JSBs with my Sumatra. I found some outdated can items in the cupboard so I took them out to shoot. I shot a can of jams (laying down) through the top of the can at 100 yards and it went entirely through the can and also knocked it about 2-3 feet.
