That'd do fine for Bot, at the distance he's talking about...and even if the shot makes it to the beaver, with all that fur and bone, it may not make it out, but the damage inside should be fatal, in the least.
RIGHT?

Yes, hollow points are out there (it's what I use vs Mr Squirrel). I like their stopping power, they often stay in the carcass (and if not, don't carry far if you hit what you shoot) and they don't ricochet worth a flip, which is another safety thingie. I think there's even a subsonic hollow point, but I'm still low on that learning curve.
