OK just a quick test , Shooting the Prophet in 177 caliber 13 gr JSB pellets , Kills them dead.
Next up is my Vulcan II in 177 caliber 1st up is the JSB 10.34 gr pellets shooting 900 FPS Kills them dead . Next up is the Hades also 10.34 gr make a little louder thud but the sparrows are dead.
Next up is Match JSB diabolo 8.26 gr wadcutters not sure the speed I am sure pretty close to 1000 FPS
No adjustments were made to the gun, All shots were in 35 yards, The wadcutters made a big slap sound , You know the sparrow pop, I would like to here from others that hunt with wadcutters I think they dump a lot of energy on impact, I may have to order up some 22 and 25 caliber wadcutters and see what sounds I get,,, Only 32 sparrows were killed in the pellet testing the other thousand are still out there. Now in all fairness I do dump a 50 lb bag of chicken scratch out each month in the back yard to feed the hungery birds ,
Is this HUNTING or PELLET testing?
