I’m having fun hunting squirrels with the 217-30-RF hollow point RG mold

The first video I recovered the slug, it mushroomed nicely

This video here I also recovered and HP slug as well, these hunts were only 2 days apart.  I got a hybrid that day also but it was a through shot.
These slugs are going about 800fps and they weigh 27.5 grains for 39fpe . . . the gun is regulated too.

I shot a Marmot with my Disco Double with that exact same bullet at 960 fps MV (56 FPE)….

Massive exit wound, and it dropped on the spot at 55 yards…. Here is what it did to a block of soap….

The 34 gr. JSB Monster pellet shows the comparison…. no expansion at all…. Here are the recovered bullets, with pellets for comparison….

The upper left is a 217-30 FN and the lower one is the HP…. It sure hits HARD….

Bob I really like them for hunting a lot, I shot a ground hog with mine the day before yesterday.  I’ll also post the video link as well.
The slug started out as a 27.5 grain and ended up 26 grain, forgot to fish around for fragments with the metal detecting probe.

Here’s the video link:    https://youtu.be/8MRq9lRJSss
I first got the red squirrel then returned to my truck heading west, got to my truck seen the ground hog too late, had a few gulps from my diet coke while I was at my truck then headed west to a patch of woods where I’d gotten a fox squirrel on the previous day and shot another one only much bigger.  On my way back to the truck I took a path so I could be more stealth in coming out of the woods and sure enough the ground hog was back and I had a perfect snipe behind the ear of it at about 30 yards.
