Wow, emotions running high since last I visited this thread...
Dphar, you did the right thing by executing an immediate failure to stop drill by popping the malevolent beaver again. Head shots can bounce off that's a natural fact be it beavers, elefantes or human critters coming at you like a crazy spider monkey.
Got a tape that shows a dude getting out of his truck with a .30 M1 Carbine fixing to shoot one of our officers. Slug from a .40 SIG blows the hair on the side of his head straight up and merely knocks him down because it was at a glancing angle.
You, and the guy who's failing to anchor swimming beaver with head shots need a to practice failure to stop drills on secondary targets on these beavers.
Shoot 'em thru the lungs if the heads are too tough or angled!
I am wondering if the Paco Tool's changing the RNs to a flatpoint would be a good or bad thing for penetrating a hog's skull...they do make my .22 more accurate.
Were I shooting hogs I'd hedge my bets and move up to the magnum force of a CCI subsonic flattened with a Paco Tool.
Meanwhile, Dphar, Digital Dan and even I, need to relax and kill more critters.
It is, after all, a Dan's World.
Best,
