Squirrels. More power, less pass-through

[Florida_Man]

So I was shooting a 22 cal at about 15 FPE with dome pellets getting pass-through and a loud noise against the fence behind. My buddy has that rifle so I decided to try some 25 cal FX hybrids. It's shooting them at 54 FPE, but man it delivers that.

18 yard shot on this squirrel. It stayed in its noggin. It was still low light in the morning under a tree, so the 25% light going to the Firefly caused a low picture quality.

Lights out, wow, talking about energy transfer,

Smack!

 

[AmosBurton]

Nice shot!
I guess it's time to try out some FX Hybrids...

The slo-mo really shows the energy transfer shock wave

Good night, Irene! Hybrids same as JSB Hades?

I missed my aim point a little on this one so I had it pass through. It bounced off the wood. I'm going to look for it later now that I can see what direction it went in slow motion. It hit some of the soft wood of the feeder after. By the looks of the video it opened up well.

Hybrids are really impressive on varmints! Still too scary for my backyard though.

Just realized this. I did get a good supply of their SWC-HP and Match pellets. I have busted many pigions with the SWC-HP with a Theoben Eliminator and later a Rapid MK2. Very efficient pellets.

Isn`t possible to find some "pockets" of supply in the US?..

 

[beerthief]

maybe some private person stash ?

 

[Ranchibi]

Great shots and video on/for both!

I got home and found a rat… A RAT!!! In my feeder. Didn’t fair well with the FX Hybrid. It got under my fence and my best pesting buddy found it

 

[L.Leon]

I’m liking that pup, reminds me of my little killer…

Or you could save a few dollars and get them straight from the manufacturer. RMR Bullets.

That first squirrel, omg, I laughed at that. My god... like he got hit with a baseball bat!

The .25's are 26gr, so they dump a LOT of energy, especially up close. A smidge over 50# I'm surprised it didn't take it's head off.
