If thyis is spot on, and you are very short range, I think over penetration may well be an issue even in .22 !
You don't say. You could have just cut and pasted that one.
Try wadcutters and heavy grain pellets or those with the concave noses (or both) but be sure to repeat your POI test.
Ditto
are you shooting in daylight, dusk or in the dark and if dusk/dark - how are you illuminating them.
It could be your POI is changing as the light level falls. This was certainly a very noticeable thing when I shot archery bows - as the light fades the POI dropped. However, this may be peculiar to bows. Until you test it you wont know.
Have you been sniffing something ? POI shift at 10 yards ? is Dicky dark dragging the pellet down ? Unless he starts shooting with a Bow and Arrow I think we can discount that one.
Pellets will allow the rat to grab and run.
granualar baits or baits fixed to the floor are best - try peanut butter in a lid nailed to the floor or strong pungent fishy stuff but gooey......
Good shooting
