When I am shooting mice around the house I actually use chicken food pellets. The just break up and don’t ricochet, but the have some pretty explosive terminal performance on mice within about 10 yards I use them. I have a Crosman 760 Pumpmaster that shoots pellets or BBs. I also have a Crosman Shockwave .22 cal break-barrel pellet gun. My siblings have BB/pellet guns too. That is a good idea to use chicken food pellets! I never would have thought of that. Do you just break the barrel and insert the chicken food just like you would a regular pellet? North to the Future!
