what are the most effective air gun (22) pellets for killing pigeons2007-11-24 17:25:38Answers:

any air pellet should do it, but your poundage is limited depending where you are in britain i think its 12f/lbs in england scotland its 18f/lbs i think, not really sure. but even a steel bb should stun them. then they flutter off and die from shock.

you shouldn't kill pigeons it cruel

is it legal to kill pigeons??

Waisted barrel pellets. And always go for a head shot. This is because a hit will almost certainly be a kill, and a miss will most likely be a clean one. Don't go for the chest. Head shot every time.

Roundheads of flatheaded pellets. Pointed ones go through them. Also, you need to shoot them from the side, just under the wing. Shooting them head-on doesn't work, as they tend to have their chests full of seed, which acts as armour.

Make sure your rifle is full legal power (12ft/lb in the UK) or beyond if you have a firearm certificate. Don't shoot anything with a pistol, as they aren't suitable for anything more than tin-cans.

Make sure you are capable of 1inch groups at 30-yards too before shooting anything living. If you can't make clean kills, you shouldn't take the shot.

I used to use promethius pellets which have a rounded top and a silicon plastic coating. Think they are stainless too, but they will that pigeon down!!

Magnum 22 air gun. I had one a few years ago and bought the copper rounded pellets with the plastic shroud so when fired its like a mini bullet. High impact point and exit for knocking wood pdgeons out. And there nice to eat. No not the ones you find in the town

It isn't the pigeons that ought to be shot.
