After having done a massive ballistics study of 39 pellets, I got two kills on pest squirrels helping themselves to the garden.
I used the Crosman Destroyer first, since it has the awesome combination of hollow point inpact, followed by pointed pellet wound channel. One shot to the head did most of the work, but it took a second shot to finish the job.
The second squirrel I used H&N's Baracuda Hunter Extreme, and WOW. One shot and it was instant lights-out, straight to sleep, no twitching. Easy to see why when you look at its expansion behavior.
