.25 cal

Bang on Bang tidy .

 

You have hit the nail on the head there .

 

A .22 sub sonic rim fire bullet travelling fast and flat will and does for many people (even though they dont like to admit it on here) kill foxes at 100 yards.

 

Why do we suggest a bigger heavier bullet being better for the job?

 

Larger surface area, more damage on kinetic impact (greater impact knock down power as we like to call it) bigger impact and exit wound = bigger internal organ vacume if the larger bullet goes straight through, more internal damage.

 

No difference with a .177 and .25 but at smaller quarry. Its still flesh and blood.

 

Why dont we use small light bowling balls to throw at the pins? because the heavier larger ones have a greater effect.

 

 

As Si with the Greater Ballistic Knowledge and More Eloquently can say it than i could ever put into words that's why

I love the .25 Cal and once You master the Rifle and pellet combo and practice the trajectory it's superb up to realistic ranges for Me with

My set up 50 yards for hunting but i can target shoot out to 60 yards but it's near the bottom of My scope at 60 yards .

Take a look at Teds Hold over on Utube and he does a lovely comparison between .22 and .25 both do the job but as would .177 or .20,

So quite happy,

 

 

Cheers Si for the better Explanation
