pest control.pellet choice???

[Guest Chip]

just wanted to know what your prefered pellet is for vermin,particulaly wood pigeons im using a recently aquired s410 with some domed bulldog pellets(22) that were thrown in.

ive been given a cushy number clearing woodys..

ive hit every one ive shot no bother... to cut it short something not right..im not sure whether the guns well under power or its the pellets..

i,ll be having it chrono,d on the monday and was of the mind to get in some aa feild pellets which seem to be the pellet of choice for the s410 from what ive read but theres little mention of them with regards to vermin

im not a big shooting man so dont have a go least im asking

i find them wasps real good,

they pass straight through pigeons, and they fall like bags of shit

I use bisley mag,s but may be heavy over distance ,if your hitting them stick with it .

thanks lads i didnt want to say on the forum davy but yes im hitting them point blank and there flying off(not all but most) leaving a few chest feathers behind.

never been much of a shooting man always had springers in the past for the rabbits but when ever i have had pigeon in the past they stayed down.

its boggleing me as to whether i have a grossly underpowered gun or it was the pellet choice.

Super domes AA fields Bisley mags etc. does not really matter as long as they are not the left handed ones.

Try to avoid hitting them face on in the breast, that breast bone is a thick armoured plate. Try head shot, back of the neck from behind or just above the wing side ways on..

i was always told pointed pellets are best for feathered targets, but i have used all sorts on ferals and woodies, pointed, copper coated, domed and H points. u name it ive probly put them thru one of my guns at one point or another!

[Guest Chip]

aucupells for my for my 177 s 410 seem to do the business for all my hunting ,a very accurate pellet

[8shot 191]

anything up to 30yds use a flat headed pellet

which they use for punching paper

they have some real stopping power

 

also get your gun on a chronno as alot of guns are coming out of the factorys well under powered

 

1 last thing... head shot neck shot or top of the wing and they wont go far

also when they do fly of look at which tress they fly into ull normally find them stone cold at the bottom 10 mins later

 

good luck
