The 32 SBK is plenty for killing, but A agree with ryutzy on a big thing there... they may still make it to the hole.

I was 3/3 the last time out, and one was face-first almost down the hole. all were whots in the 250 yd range. If you don't head or neck e'm, they may live 10 seconds and scoot down the john...

I finally got my 40gn Bergers (which group well but local suppliers dried up), so hopefully there will be a splatting-power tale to tell when they start popping their heads up.
