Pretty amazing how much punch that little pellet packs. A few years ago I shot a rock chuck in the head at about 35 yards, saw a big splat in the mud about 20 yards past the chuck. Then saw the chuck start flopping around. That pellet had shot through his head and smacked the mud hard enough to leave a crater about the size of a golf ball. That was with my R9 shooting about 675 fps with Crosman Premier 14.3gr Hollow Point pellets. I have taken literally thousands of rock chucks with pellet rifles over the last 30 years and am continually amazed by the killing power of such a low power projectile.
