   Spent the morning at my range office    sounds funny but its work for me, Luckily I enjoy what I do!

Retuned the wildcat to the 10.03gr Knock out slugs.
I couldn't get the extreme spread lower then 4, but I think I'm trying to chase perfection and one hole groups. 
Should be happy with what I achieved, because I guess its not bad at all.
Got the group down to 5.5mm center to center, and almost a one hole group.
Time to find some more bunnies and continue testing.
Next question is, down to what velocity will they still mushroom...?

	Ja, maybe JSB pack their tins according to weight? Heavier projectiles are larger and come in 400 per tin, it is also a slightly taller tin, more space inside. Guess they cant get 500 of the bigger slugs into the smaller tin. Just looking at some .22cal monster pellets, same small tin, 25,39gr pellets, 200 per tin, works out to about just over 5000gr's of lead per "small" tin, regardless of caliber or pellet weight. There is also a price difference, the 10gr/500 tins are $43/tin and the 13.43gr/400 tins are $39 per tin. Works out to 8.6c each for the 10grainers and 9.8c each for the 13grainers, got to pay a bit more for those extra 3.4grains Edited by RangerPete - 23 Oct 2024 at 5:40pm

	Hey Pete that pellet data base has jsb knock out slugs. Your research would be awesome on it. If you want to add it.

	So after re-tuning little Emma for the 10grainers on monday, I took her out to work on monnday night. 12 rabbits and a hare. Collected 5 rabbits and the hare for further investigations. Shots were mostly just over 40yards, with one at 76yards. From the 6 carcasses I retrieved 5 slugs. All of them had deformed to some extent, 3 of them beautifully. The pass through was a side on head shot at 43yards. The hare was a diagonal head shot, through the eye, the brain and slug was recovered under the skin on the back of the head! Thats all of... 7 ? cm? The 76yard shot was base of the back of head of a rabbit, slug recovered in the mouth/cheek just under the skin. That might be even less than 7cm! Amazing. I am blown away by these little slugs, (and they really are little! Flippen tiny when you are trying to load them into a magazine with big sausage fingers!) Their ability to mushroom, dump all of their energy into the target and come to a complete stop with in 10, 8, 5cm... is truly amazing. From a pest control perspective, where I'm shooting on other peoples property it really gives you a little piece of mind knowing your projectile has a 95% chance of not exiting your target, and its going to give it a serious smack too! But at 22FPE, I'll still reserve them for big properties Little Elly with her 12.4FPE 8.44grain Exacts is still my first choice for small properties. Edited by RangerPete - 23 Oct 2024 at 5:47pm

	The hare head shot was top row on right. Bottom left was the head shot on the rabbit. Edited by RangerPete - 23 Oct 2024 at 5:48pm

	Last night I shot a rat at 32yards. Was a neck shot angled into the body. Necropsyed it this morning Slug entered left side of the neck, just behind the head, smashed through the spine completely severing it into two (a rats spine is about the diameter of a pen), top of the lungs and into the abdominal cavity. Recovered perfectly mushroomed. I’d love to know if it expanded before or after it went through the vertebrae, but I guess I’ll never know. It performed perfectly, dumped all of its 22FP of energy into the rat (pole axed it on the spot) and came to a stop in 7 or 8cm. You can’t ask for better performance!
