Many years ago , I had a Mossberg 144LS Bolt Action 22 . I got some of that #12 Bird Shot and went off to the local Dump to shoot Rats at night with a flashlight taped to the Mossy . Never did stop even one . They just jumped up and ran off . After a few tries , I forgot the Birdshot and went back to Hollow Points . No run offs with the HPs . An old friend had a Win 61 Smooth Bore . I worked at the A&P in those days and took some Ann Page Pie " Tins " , and shot both Rifles at maybe 25 feet . The Rifled bore put barely noticeable dimples into the Plate , but the 61 shot right thru it . I could have purchased that 61 for $150 in those days ....but that's another story .
