Rat and the Polymag that took it…

Earlier this week I found that my HW110 had a velocity drop, so I tore it down, fixed it, and dialed it in with Polymags at ~925 fps. I’ve been itching to try the combo on rats, and tonight I got my chance. Hit this one in the head at 13 yards, and it it was pretty gnarly - lots of flopping, blood everywhere on the fence and ground, just nasty. But what was cool about it was that after the pellet passed through it’s noggin, it hit the backer board behind the bait, and was sitting right on top of the fence, just about perfectly mushroomed. Even had a little chunk o’rat in the bottom of the cavity. Went from .177 to .263 inches. Not bad performance at all!

Can't ask for better than that! I went rattin' last eve myself. I had used up all the Apolo 14.6 hp's. ( think ,copied/ rebranded CPHP's ?) So I re-zeroed w the 17 gr
Apolo wadcutters . They did a good job on the three I got.
