Don’t be an idiot.I’m saying the 25 has more foot pounds and I believe that makes for a faster death upon impact

If you're shooting close range with the .22 a polymag or something similar may help anchor them

Great shooting on those freaking beasts! I shot a adult female fruit rat last night with my Prod and it looks tiny compared to those norway beasts! Nice video! Keep up the excellent pesting! There is a male with her and he is much bigger but still small comparatively.

Yote , hello . I'm using several .22 guns for rats. Mostly head ,neck or shoulder shots, using Hades , Rifle or Gamo (wadcutter) ammo. Distance 5-20yrds in a barn. Most of this years kills have been w/ a Kral NP-03 @ 680-700 fps. Very few run offs. I had used RN pellets for a bit because of accuracy but ,only head & neck shots anchored them on the spot,so I switched ammo . I have taken over 300 rats so far . Don't discount your Avenger .22, maybe try some hollowpoint / expanding ammo as there is less pass through and it will certainly be a bit more cost effective over .25 ammo ! When it warms up and the critters start moving around outdoors and the ranges stretch out a bit , I'll likely bring out the long guns ( Avenger @950fps, Hatsan Factor @900fps Hatsan Flashpup@900 ) all using Hades or Rifle pellets . Good Luck , safe shooting .
