So it sounds like some serious BS being spouted by one of our monthlys.

The reason I originally posted this thread was because of a claim on another forum that a pellet fired from a 12fpe rifle retains sufficient energy to kill a rabbit at 100yds.

I do not with the exception of the afforementioned absolute fluke shot believe this,and put the point that the claim was wrong.

IMHO it was at best misguided and at its worst irresponsible.

However I dont have any figures or stats to back this up.

Now there seems to be some conflicting information from members and far worse from Airgunner (although I have not seen the article).

I do realise that this is longe range target shooting which is why I asked the question in its original form,however it seems to have naturally veered towards the rabbit question.
