.22 lr
.22 short
.22 lr subsonic
.22 cb
The area I will find them (racoon) always puts the neighbor as the backstop, also note I'm up on a ladder in the barn and don't need the racoon to jump on my face.
I already know the first two choices and maybe the third will make it to the neighbors, or maybe not with different types of bullets, so will a cb or a couple of them put the racoon down?
In the discussion also talk bullet weights and types for a better understanding.
Thanks in advance
