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.
