Theoben Rapid MK2 .177 "Dial of Death" vs. Squirrels @ 75 yards.
Rifle Power: NSA 15.5g slugs @ 775 fps @ 20.68 fpe...
At 20 fpe she is performing very quietly w/ the Huggett moderator. I didnt want to shoot slugs fast and loud so I dialed the power down to meet my needs as accuracy & silence is always priority. Both shots were taken within 10 mins of each other. I like head shots due to collecting the meat to barter w/ friends. I understand 75 yards is a good distance for a .177 cal but I trust the Rapid & her accuracy while shooting prone on the ground. At 75 yards the NSA 15.5g slugs impacted the skulls @ about 12 fpe. After retrieval, the squirrel that was shot in the side of his head was a total pass though & the squirrel that was shot in the eye, the slug was lodged in his head/neck...
