Considering the size of those rats heads to their body size, there is too much risk of a miss or just a glancing impact if I aim for the head. They move fast and quite unpredictably, so I prefer to do the center mass body shot on these critters! And in those situations, the .25 definitely is the superior round!
Quote from: Nomadic Pirate on April 28, 2021, 03:22:43 PMYeah, people might say what they want but the difference between .25 and .22 is real.Shot placement trumps the difference... So Manny are you saying that a proper headshot on that rat from a .177 or .22 wouldn't cut it at the same distance? For rat size critters under fifty yards? No practical difference.

No practical difference.My man I take hogs, even good sized hogs with .177 and .22 so trust me I know exactly how efficient they can be,.....there's just more variables to the equations
I just ordered an AEA Challenger in .30, that should really blast a them! I don’t have a big bore, so looking forward to getting my first! Now I just need to find someplace that has .30 cal pellets in stock!
LOL! I just hope it’s accurate enough for such a small target! I also hope it’s not too loud, I haven’t found an adapter for that model to add a LDC.
