I had bought the rem. cbee's sometime back for plinking and pest control.Most cb's that you buy are solid nose so they really don't have any shock value when shooting pest's.Well during this past christmas season I had come across the rem.cbee's that are hollowpoints so I figured I would give them a try.My son and I were only shooting from 10 yards away(in the house because of rain)into one of the big telephone books with a 2x8 board behind.I have a tasco mini red dot on my .22 match, 10 inch contender.Impact was one inch below red dot which I expected from being so close but clover leafs and shooting 1 hole groups were pretty easy.We examined the bullets and all expanded just like you would expect from a .22 hollowpoint so I would imagine these should work pretty good on vermin and these loads should be good target practice along with good trigger practice.

Another one that works well for small vermin such as rodents but also don't have the shock value of a hollow point are the Aguilla Super Collibri. If you really want to keep things quiet they are the way to go. They have a pointed bullet and are propelled only by the priming material but they aren't any louder than a pellet gun. The one thing with these is they are for handguns only. We don't have to worry too much about noise where I'm at although sometimes I get the neighbors attention but for vermin I use the CCI mini mags unles it's shrews, mice or rats my loving cat's bring home to me but forget to kill first, for those it's the super collibris. The bigger stuff definitely get's the cci's though which here means possums, nutria, and coons although I've let them go so far. I did have to take out a feral cat here a few weeks ago, it was a big tom and he was thrashing my cats and coming in through the cat door and spraying so he's now in kitty heaven from lead poisoning to the head. Anyways didn't mean to get off track but you might try the super collibris also especially for the indoor target sessions.

i try to keep a few cb on hand for pests pellet gun was not enough for a coon but cb did the job quietly

I typically use my RWS model 52,.22 caliber and a Beeman Kodiak in .25 caliber for almost all my vermin but I like to switch up my weapons and my contender with the cb's does the job very well but there is more noise as compared to shooting them out of a rifle.
