I now use .177 spring loaded pellets when the neighbors are home and MiniMag JHPs when they're away.

Yes I know it's a zombie thread but people are reading it. Killing raccoons is important business since they live in the towns now.
I went the 45ACP route one time on a coon in my hen house. I shot - he ducked - bullet went through the back wall of my hen house and into the rear tire sidewall of my new tractor. Use pellets or shorts - cheaper that way.
