I happened to have my 9mm Carbine along (78 gr. EunJins at just under 500 fps) and hit the critter in the neck.... Blew him right off the log, broke his neck and blew out all the major blood vessels.... He ever even twitched.... He was about a foot and a half behind the log he was sitting on.... 40 FPE with a big cross section will do that!....

Actually, the larger the calilber the better the BC of the pellets, generally.... so the drop is a bit less than with an under 500 fps .22 cal or .177.... That gun was an experiment to find out the practicality of building a big bore gun that was under 500 fps.... and I'm very pleased with how hard it hits....
