Hunting & suitability

Primary purpose
PCP slug / long-range or hunting
Target use
Good in slug-capable PCP only
Hunting use
Good in suitable PCP
Ethical game band
Small game to lighter medium game; coyote/fox only with adequate FPE and accuracy
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

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.
