9 out of 10 recovered so far.
The ones that are mushroomed nicely are usually found in the skin on the far side.
The ones that look chewed up have hit heavy bones i.e. more than just ribs.

Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

You can't say one pellet fits, even the next 2 guns off the production line.
If ron recommended that pellet it's probly because people have good results with it in general in that gun.
If it shoots well keep that as your base pellet and slowly try differnt pellets till you find better.
At end of day, you got to try differnt pellets to find what your gun likes.
We can recommend pellets based on quality and how well they preform in other guns. That's not not how your rifle may see them probly the suxiest part of sorting your rifle till you find one.

Pete,
I was just wondering whether the H&Ns were no good in your barrel - as that's around the weight you wrote you're looking for at 10.65 gr...and yes, I'll be trying a few pellets in both rifles.

The expansion from these 10.03gr Knockout slugs is nothing short of amazing.
No pellet I have ever tested has ever performed like this.

One of the recovered slugs I have was from a head shot at 25yards. Entered left side of the rabbits head next to the eye.
Expanded and dumped all of its 21FPE, and I recovered it under the skin on the right side of the head!!!
A rabbits head is only 5cm wide!

It seems totally counterintuitive to increase projectile speed and energy in order to stop projectiles over penetrating and exiting, but here is the proof…

Slugs have always out preformed pellets. If you have a gun that can shoot them.
Your photos show just how much and it's a really good bit of research and presentation on your behalf. I've been enjoying watching as you do it. Cheers

What sort of range were these kills, Pete?

Hi Mark,
The recovered slugs were from shots from 25y, 30ish, 47, 58, 80something and 100yards.
It will all be in the video 👍🏻

Far out - and I really do mean far out with still heaps of hitting power...

I'm going to sell my LRs and buy a PCP.
