So I had brought out the Hades .30cal out of retirement, to shoot in the Maverick on Power Wheel 1 (going a gingerly 760fps, and generating 54fpe) to do some low power starling and sparrow culling. Then out of nowhere, I young groundhog climbed over a fallen tree trunk, and was eating my birdseed bait!
So I un-cocked my Maverick, turned the Power Wheel back to 7 (full power), reset the fps in my scopes Ballistic Calculator back to 930fps, and popped the marmot on the top of his head while he was walking towards me !
That smack from the Hades was undeniable, and a flick of the tail was all that was before he traveled the highway to groundhog heaven.
I forgot my SD-Card in my computer, so I couldn't shoot any video of this shot.
