What do the Airgun slugs weigh? Because as far as muzzle velocity, the .25 is right on point (better then quite a few .25 ammos) and the .357 is close. I'm wondering what kind of terminal ballistics you could generate.
Mine shoots a 147 grain at @900 fps. I get 8 full power shots per fill.
The biggest animal so far for me was a wild pig. About 250 lbs. One shot at 50 yards. It took one step and dropped.

Aren't you around Rockford? They've got pigs?
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Family friends farm has a group of wild (feral) pigs that have been on the property (about 400 wooded acres) for nearly 15 years now.
They do a lot of damage now that the group is over 30 or so pigs.
