Hunting grays with King Heavy’s vs Hades in .25

[Quad82]

In some of my .25 guns I use either Hades or JSBs. Depending on shooting paper targets or spinners and their ranges. But for hunting I stick with the NSA slugs only. Not to be a B A. But most of my hunts are all day ones. Might start out yote or fox hunting till daylight. Then hit the creek bottoms for coon At first light. A lot of the shots are in open terrain and getting close is tough. And after things warm up a bit, I just like the slugs for tree rats. I agree, shot placement is king. I know I have killed a lot more squirrels with my .20 R-10 over the years using lite Polymags. Kind of nice hearing the thud of a solid hit.

I run the heavies in my Marauder and its hammer. They shoot lights out in my gun. I"ve tried the Hades and the lighter JSBs and not nearly as accurate. The heavies at 50yds one magazine shot can be covered by a quarter.

40y and less .... KNOW THY GUN !!!

This all day. I won't push my 12-15 fpe guns past 30-40 yards to make sure I'm getting an ethical kill. The lower power guns also allow me to use a smaller scope and save on weight and aid in maneuverability. Tree squirrels will let you get in range for a 12 fpe gun. They think they're safe up there lol.

now if you're hunting ground squirrels with a 12 fpe gun at 100 yards you need to rethink the whole damn game!
