Hunting & suitability
- Primary purpose
- Hunting / long-range field use
- Target use
- Good in slug-capable PCPs after barrel testing
- Hunting use
- Good where legal and where rifle proves accuracy/energy
- Ethical game band
- Small game and closer-range medium game
- Suggested min muzzle energy
- 35 ft·lb
- Suggested max range
- Keep to distances where expansion/penetration and groups are proven; often ≤75 yd
- Game examples
- groundhog, raccoon-sized pests, fox/bobcat/coyote in high-power PCPs
Projectile alone does not establish ethical use; confirm legal species, rifle FPE, retained energy, accuracy, expansion/penetration, and shot placement. Slugs require barrel fit and enough PCP power to stabilize.
