    Did it kill the rat? If it did, even though you had "overpenetration", it was not a problem.
    Almost any pellet at close range can pass straight through, so you'll be wanting a safe backstop if you want to avoid damage to nearby objects (or ricochets ).

    Oh yeah it killed the rat instantly, well apart from a tiny bit of twitching, but thats normal, yeah i'll probably just start shooting from standing/rested because then if it penetrates it will just go down into the mud at that angle.

    Use .22 RWS Super H Point in AA410, no problem with accuracy out to 20yds, furthest I've tried! Instant kill with headshot plus 1 I hit in the body pegged out without a squeak!
