I really hate that but most of what is around me are pigeons and starlings. I don't know which are worse.
I've also got a family of rabbits living under my deck that I need to start thinning out pretty soon. But I need to order some hollow point pellets because I've had some over penetration issues if I'm to close.

I'm shooting a .177 break barrel Gamo that's shooting 1100fps. I'm using H&N 8.49 grain pointed tip pellets.

Most of the over penetration happens inside 10 yards or less. The only reason I know this is because I shot two pigeons in the warehouse at work with the shot being no more than 25 feet with center mass hits on both birds and I heard the pellet hit the metal siding both times.

I bet I'd be near 270-280 at the wheels, right? Been also wondering about a valve body. Any thoughts on Darrin's?
