This is a VITAL thread

This gun is stupid accurate with slugs. But it’s slow. So I figured I would use it for some mid range pest control with cut slugs. That’s easily twice the diameter of the .22 damage on the exit at 800fps.

I’ve seen and had bad experience with head shots on larger game. So I do not take them haven’t for over 20 years now. I don’t have any pics anymore but heart\lung shots is they way I go. I’ve found that on squirrel there is not enough meat in the ribs to worry about saving. Mostly use a .22 cal but I’ve found that .30 to the vitals is pretty F ing dead. With vital shots you get the distinct thud too. Not sure I’ve went for a vital on a mouse the caliber to body ratio seems to displace life force efficiently enough.
Pop the balloons (Heart/Lungs) win a prize. I don't take head shots either.
