   Little Elly, an Air Arms S510 carbine doing just over 12FPE, shes the one that wasnt so keen on them.
And Emma, a FX Wildcat. Tried different power levels with the wildcat, and there is definatly an optimum velocity.
I'll chrono the different settings to night and get the speeds they like, but it was not as fast as I was thinking.
Its still fast, but I was thinking they would like screaming sub sonic, fast as you can push them, power wheel 7, turns out its not they liked power wheel 4 and 5. Will chrono tonight.

	Expanded to 7.3 to 7.8mm (depending on where you measure it.) If it had been an even round equally radisued mushroom it would have been 8mm wide! Excellent mushroom. Recovered from under skin on far side of a rabbits chest. Two different tests of side on head shots exited completely, BUT, totally destroyed the brain case, literally cracking the skulls into pieces from hydrostatic forces within the brain case!!! Ive shot hundreds of rabbits through the head with 8.44gr exacts and never seen anything like that before!!! Edited by RangerPete - 08 Sep 2024 at 6:31am

	Very encouraging results so far... Tried them through two different rifles, one didnt like them, one did. Had a few rabbit carcasses in the back of my truck from a separate caliber test I'm doing, so put one or two of these Knockout slugs through them... Very interesting indeed!!! Finally seeing the terminal ballistic performance I've always wanted from pellets, pity its from slugs, but it seems to be there. More testing and then results to follow.

	Package just arrived.... Saw these on trademe the other night and had to get some to try. They have had good reviews on you tube, but up till now I dont believe they have been avalible on NZ. The only .177 slugs avalible in NZ were Sypdas 13.4gr, but Ive really been wanting to try a 10gr slug. These have a hollow base, and a decent depth hollow point. Going to try then in Little Elly at about 12.4FPE, so I'm expecting about 740ish fps or there abouts, and then goint to try them in Emma, hopefully around 1000fps. So excited to start playing with these! Will post updates as we go...
