The general consensus is a heart-lung shot is the best way to minimize skunk spray. So using this shot placement what type of pellet is best in 25 caliber? The range will be about 30 yards and I have the choice between poly mags jsb Kings, hades mk2, h&n baracuda I can shoot all those pellets over 900 feet per second at the muzzle however the Heavies I can only get up to about 880 fps at best. There probably is a trade-off between minimizing spray and how far they walk before dropping dead. I don't want them walking more than about 15 yards. Since they are not very big or thick I would assume a polymag or jsb hades would minimize them walking away however it would probably tear them up. I don't know what that would do as far as them spraying.
