[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 574356, member: 27328"] I shoot prairie dogs out to 100 yards with my BSA Lonestar .25 cal PCP rifle. I use JSB Exact and H&N Baracuda pellets. JSB are the most consistent, but are lighter in weight. H&N pellets need to be weighed and sorted. Have no trouble with complete pass through out to 100 yards on rabbit, prairie dog, squirrel, etc. The minimum rifle for rabbit hunting is the Benjamin .20 cal or Benjamin .22 cal multi-pump PCP air rifles. Around 15 FPE and close to 700 FPS at the muzzle. JSB pellets have been the best in my rifle. The BSA .25 cal runs about 800-950 at the muzzle. JSB pellet is fast enough to start getting noisy. Inside of 50 yards you have to consider it as deadly as a .22 rimfire. Not to be shot in town, and it is LOUD without a suppressor. Neighbors WILL think you are shooting a .22 rimfire. You need a $300 pump to pump up the BSA. It can take considerably more pressure than the Benjamin Marauder, up to about 3700 PSI if you adjust hammer spring on the Lonestar. Marauder pressure range 2000-3000 PSI. BSA factory set for about 3400 PSI fill. My FX brand pump is only designed for 3700 PSI max. [/QUOTE]
