Hunting & suitability
- Primary purpose
- PCP slug / long-range or hunting

- Good in slug-capable PCP only
- Hunting use
- Conditional

- Small game; slug-capable PCP required
- Suggested min muzzle energy
- 30 ft·lb
- Suggested max range
- Often up to 50-75 yd in accurate rifles; confirm retained energy

Projectile alone does not establish ethical use; confirm legal species, rifle FPE, retained energy, accuracy, and shot placement. Hollowpoints are generally preferred where expansion and energy transfer matter.
Notes
PCP-oriented; verify barrel diameter/twist and magazine length.
