i like them. they usually do well out to 50 feet. i havent tried any of the H&N brand though, too expensive. I often think about building a 9mm gun so i can cast my own balls for it. On the slingshot forum ive heard that an 8mm ball will fully penetrate a rabbit and slingshots only shoot about 200fps with that caliber

We don't call them "rounds of ammunition" for nothing!  ;)

Velocity isn't everything, of course but cross bow and bows are not speed demons, either.


Rabbits are like paper. You can tear the skin by pulling on it. I wouldnt be surprised to see a thrown rock go clean through one! Hahaha
One thing to reme,ber about arrows...Arrows arent effective due to impact, they work by cutting/slicing...no need for major speed when you are throwing razor blades around! Mostly accuracy and penetration.

Also, no need to cast your own 9mm balls, 00buckshot works. I think it is somewhere between .32 or .35

9mm is .357

A lot of guys use the cheap 00 buckshot and get ridiculous tight groups with the Evanix .357/9mm guns.

I almost recently picked up a windycity, and the 00 buckshot was going to be the ammo i would have used. I decided not to buy it though...

   Got some round ball ammo in the other day and it's OK but the accuracy is not all that great! I got it in .177 and .22. It make for a lot of fun if you load two or three at a time at 15 yards it has a 1.5 in. pattern.  Fun to play with but I don't think I'll be ordering any more of it!  Thanks for y'alls input :)
