Seems those of us in the NW will soon have a new intruder to deal with Rantz: Washington's Asian 'murder hornets' will probably kill us all
This got me to thinking, it seems to me that possibly 22 shotshell might be an appropriate type of ammo for 2" long hornets.
Would it be effective on big bugs at under 30' distance? (I'm thinking if I see one on my 2 story house)
How much damage to the exterior wood would you think might occur?
Would I be better with some other type of ammo?
Trying to determine what would be best against 2" murder bugs that also won't destroy (some damage is OK, the wood exterior has a "rough" look) my house and has limited down-range danger to life and property.
I'd be using a 16" rifle BTW.
I thought about an air rifle, but I like the shotshell aspect of the 22
