For rats I use a AA s200 in .22.

 

RWS super H point - tight to feed into barrel, worried that the "flathead" would prematurely wear o ring seal of a PCP, but accuracy / kills good out to 20 yds

 

Bisley Magnum - tight to feed into barrel, really stops them where they are out to 20 yds

 

AA 16g fields - feeds like silk into barrel, made out of soft lead so kills well, out to 30+ yds.

 

Remember short range shooting, some of your pellets will pass through rats so safe backstop.

 

I found that if they were only showing their head from a hole to leave it as if they were shot and blocked the hole, it seemed less rats would come out, better to bait outside and get them in the open.

Find a pellet that you are comfortable with for all targets :whistling: , one thats accurate, that way you wont confuse yourself :no: with how much to allow this way or that :good: Buy a few boxes and do plenty of plinking so that you can put that pellet where you want it, it will kill it :good:

I use Field Target Trophy in my Venom 80 and my Rapid 7. Rat or Rabbit beware!

That is just the job for RWS Super Hollowpoint or Bisley Pest Control. I just looked up Verminpell and they look just like any other flat-head to me. Probably OK as well to be honest, but the two I mentioned are really very good, and the RWS are a good price.
