In the case of the Aguila SSS you definitely need to have a 1:8 twist. Any time that you slow the bullet down, you need to increase the mass so that you can keep the terminal ballistics where they need to be. Tried popping a squirrel once with my Red Ryder - edid he ever curse me out! Haven't heard language like that since my Navy days.You are all right about the need to have a faster twist. ![]() It's not as quiet as you'd think either, but it has no 'CRACK!" like most. But the rifle has to like it to get good accuracy. The "SSS" has excellent "Whompability" (coined by a shooting buddy) on small critters. I once bounced a Colibri off the skull of a home-invading Possum at point blank range - found him dead later but he shook it off and ran - it wasn't a clean kill. The Colibri and Super Colibri (350FPS and 550FPS respectively) are distance limited - about 25 yards is max, and there ain't much whack factor then. The 'SSS" was also the only ammo that would work in my Whitney Wolverine pistol when I first got it - some TLC on the chamber face fixed that. I find the older 'vintage' rifles tend to shoot them better, and the same when using the Aguila 'SSS'rounds - different rifling rateI would guess. I did get a brick of Super Colibri afterwards. 22 rifles I have shot the Colibri from worked fine - only the Winchester 75T target rifle had a tight bore that caused a 'stickage'. An adequate "new" pre charged pneumatic gun starts at $350 and goes up, like the Air Force Condor or Talon that start at $600 or the Crosman Rouge at $1300.ĭepends on the rifle - most. Both pellets are hollow point) that are capable of dropping a squirrel within 35 feet/ 10.5 yards- which is the range I'm most concerned about in my back yard- and are a little more affordable. that propels a 7.9 gr pellet at 1200 fps and a. I've got a couple of "nitrogen piston" air rifles (.177 cal. In my process of squirrel control, one rarely get a chance at a follow up shot before the squirrel can crawl away and die from its' wounds as a result, the only reason to really sink the money into a "pre charged pneumatic" is for the fast repeating capability. JTJ, I started my squirrel control action with pellet rifles- some good ones at that. I'm probably going to leave the Ajuila subsonic 60 gr ammo alone and spend the money for more CCI Subsonic 40 gr ammo for which I've had really good results. 22 LR Sniper Subsonic 60-gr ammo or even one box, or should I just take the money and buy more of the CCI Subsonic segmented ammo which I've been pretty satisfied with up to now? I really want is to get an opinion on whether it's worth the money to buy a brick of the Aguila. These rounds are generally purchased on-line at a price which is better that the gun shop that I purchased my first box of 50. However, I've had the best results with CCI Subsonic (0074) 40 gr segmented copper plated hollow point- EVERY squirrel hit has been bagged and sent to the land fill. (0056) 40 gr round nose lead hollow point- again with good results in noise levels and kills and are readily available at a gun shop that I visit on a monthly basis. I currently use Remington Subsonic 38 gr round nose hollow point ammo with good results- both noise and kills, a little too dirty for my taste but I'll continue to use them as long as I have them and no big issue to clean the rifles at shorter intervals. Most shots are within ten yards, but can be out to 25 yards max. 22 rounds are a must to keep the noise down. Since I live within the limits of a city which has an ordinance prohibiting discharge firearms, subsonic. I'm currently engaged in squirrel control around my bird feeders alternating between the use of two rifles, a Ruger 77/22 and Marlin Model 980S- both bolt actions- from an open window.
