About 40 yds coming towards me. The 66gn NSA hollow point must expand well because it left a big hole going out. I'll spare you the exit gore.

.30 cal 66gn NSA @ 950 is too much for squirrels
- Thread starter heavy-impact
- Start date
Ha that is my coyote tune too , I have used my slug guns , they pass threw did yours expand? I shot 2 squirrels yesterday one at 25 yards and one at 103 yards both pass threws and no expansion with MP slugs going at 990 fps .

yea , i would speculate that 130 FPE is way more than required for a squirrel. LOL! doubt there is enough mass to make slug expand.

That actually looks like the perfect squirrel setup to me. You can just line up a shoulder shot and let it fly. None of the baiting and waiting to take head shots like we have to do with our peas shooters.

There is no such thing as overkill. I've popped prairie dogs with a .50 Barret. Just don't expect to have anything left to eat.
In my testing with both .22 and.25 cal NSA and VK slugs, They almost always expanded at 770 fps and above when passing through a 3 inch grapefruit set at 50 yrds, with the most dramatic expansion at 900 fps and higher. Extrapolating that data suggests strongly they will expand at least to some degree when traveling through a 2-3 inch thick varmint at said speeds.
Effects on a 1.5 inch thick lime were pretty profound, unfortunately I was unable to recover the damn slugs for eval. :/

I saw a dude make an iron spear and shoot it at a pig through a blackpowder cannon. Overkill is fun.

Who's that guy who kills pidgens in his warehouse and uses all kind of guns from 40 dollar pumper to 357 bulldog. The bulldog essentially imploded the pidgens. It was just a feather grenade popping. I'm not going to lie I've watched that video 4 times and went and bought a bulldog. Lol overkill can sell airguns!

A big chunk of insides were outside so I thought it would be too much gore. The sound of the bullet impact was most surprising. The gun is fairly quiet but the bullet impact sounded like a slightly muffled firecracker. I prefer the .22 slug barrel for small game.
