Very small game hunting with Aguila Colibri

l-girl
Anybody ever shoot small game with Aguila Colibri (the primer only .22LR ammo)? A possum got into my hound's doghouse and was causing a major problem with my dog and cats. I asked it politely to leave and it didn't. I live in an urban area and did not want to alarm my neighbors nor risk overpenetration, so I decided to try the Colibris. So, I put 4 Colibri's in my S&W 617 and aimed into the doghouse. They sound like a cap pistol going off and the first round didn't faze it. It just hissed at me. Round two caused it to back up further into the doghouse. Round three caused it to lie down. An hour later I came back and it was very dead, but there was no blood or mess. It probably weighed 15-18 pounds. My wife, dog and cats are happy again.

Anybody else have any experience with very small game and these BB like rounds? I'm curious what is the biggest thing you've eliminated with them?

Best regards,Rich

    I dispatched a rabbit with a Colibri out of a Henry lever action with a head shot.

    Try the Super Colibri they are 500 fps and not really any louder.

    For close shots on small game they will work with proper shot placement. They don't have enough energy to create a sufficient shock or wound cavity to overcome poor shot placement.

    They are fun to teach youngsters to shoot though. My 6yoa son shoots them from his Henry youth lever action at close targets with my supervision.

    The possum was probably just tired from fighting with your dogs and cats and took a nap.

    I live in the mountians and we have feral cat issues. I trap them and then dispatch em with a 22 bolt gun. I tried the super calibri's a few times with a direct shot between the eyes. Talk about PISEED OFF cats!!! It takes two or three shots to kill them. A 22 short lays them out way better. Out of the bolt gun they sound like a pellet gun.

    ....I never met a gun I didn't like!
