I have killed more racoons than I can count with the Remington CB longs. I mean a boatload. If you hit their head, they drop right there on the brain shots, and fall to the ground or floor and stay where they are long enough for a second shot if it misses the brain. They won't go through your roof either, unless you are at arms length, and even then I have never had one do it yet. A plain 1X maybe so, but with the metal backing it up, doubtful.

BTW- they are about as fast from a 6" handgun as they are from a 22" rifle barrel. I have clocked them in both and there's very little difference in speed.

All the others in yur list will definately go through your roof, including the sub-sonic. They are still over 1000 fps fired from a rifle, and close to that in your handgun.

There are better rounds for cleanly killing 'coons, but for "in the barn rounds", the CB's rule!
