Is a 600 fps .177 pellet gun good enough to kill a rabbit?
It's not the fps that kills, but the shape of the pellet that will do the job. All the pellet shapes will kill the rabbit, but hollow point pellets will mushroom on impact and make a clean kill. other pellets might travel right through the rabbit and it will hop off and die later
Can a pellet gun kill a dove?
Yes. Pellet guns and rifles can be used for small game and rodents. I suggest using hunting pellets they mushroom on impact and make a clean kill, unlike BB's that don't deform on impact and may not kill the rodent or bird. The pellets will be called "Hunting or Hollowpoint."
Which is better to use on squirrels bb or pellet gun?
Use a Pellet gun or rifle. Pellets deform on impact and make a clean kill. BB do not deform and are a poor choice for hunting. Use Hollow point pellets for hunting.
To kill a large squirrel would it be a better choice to shoot a 10.5 grain lead pellet or a 5 grain alloy pellet for a headshot?
Personally I would use the heaver pellet, it doesn't have to be 10.5. Heaver pellets fly straighter. Light weight pellets are influenced by crosswind. This is why you don't find competition shooters using light pellets.

What will a pellet gun do to a raccoon?
It depends on the size of the raccoon, the pellet and the power of the rifle. If you intend to kill the raccoon, then I would suggest hunting pellets ( called hollow point pellets ) and using a .22 caliber pellet rifle. Do not use a BB gun. Hollow point pellets deform when they hit a target and have maximum knockdown power. A head shot is the most humane shot.
