He's way slow on the velocity. That's the big caveat here I think. I've smacked pigeons with 15 fpe 22 and they fly away, 43 fpe(approx 30 fpe on impact) 25 Knocks the moon dust off them like their ghost is left standing where they were without a pass thru with hades.

He's got a slow 30 throwing bricks, so less problems like my 75 fpe 22 that just zings thru with soft javelin slugs, and that deformed 34 grain long body slug is off to Narnia at 800 fps.

The weird thing about my barra is I haven’t had accuracy issues even when shooting slugs at 850… at least not to about 50-60 yards…. I only really started extending my range beyond that the passed 2 or 3 weeks… I like the lighter faster ones for how flat they shoot and how hard they hit.

After what I saw yesterday though I’d bet money that at 125+ the 35gr doing 900fps would do better than the 30s doing 960.

Once again I’m so happy my new scope can let me save more than one zero’ing profile lol. Because I think on the extra windy days those 35gr are gonna be money… or it I get a chance to shoot at a coyote 100y+
