Predator Pellets: Polymer Tipped Hunting Pellets
I mentioned that the effect on jackrabbits was striking; in the
accompanying figure the 40 yard headshot on the rabbit was explosive. It
is anecdotal, but I have shot many jackrabbits over the years and this was
probably the bloodiest hit ever, and the rabbit simply flopped over DOA.
The pellet ended up on the offside just under the skin, mushroomed to a
point it was almost inside out, but I was unable to find the polymer tip.
Because the penetration was less than the Crow Magnum (and far less than
roundnose pellets) I postulated this would be a good pest control pellet
in sensitive areas. To test this hypothesis I took the rifle out and at a
power setting of 5 took a few starlings. I reckoned that these light
bodied birds would give me an idea of how the pellets performed with
respect to penetration and expansion/knock down power on real quarry under
the pest control conditions I planned to use them. I found again that the
knock down power can only be termed as explosive. The birds went down hard
to virtually any body shot, yet the pellet only exited on one out of seven
birds shot.
Based on these findings, I plan to use these pellets for pest control on a
site that is rich with pigeons but in an area with buildings and equipment
that I can't afford to damage. I'll update this preliminary report as I
gather more hard data.
