First I assume you mean a rifle not a gun: You are talking about 225 feet. At this distance I suggest that you look at some of the higher end pellet rifles. In particular the "Recharged Pneumatic Guns" (PCPs) they are more expensive but offer greater distance. You will most likely need a scope to hit the target at that distance. I suggest that you look up www.pyramydair.com/ or http:/www.airgunsofarizona.com and locate a rifle for your needs. Gamo makes a spring loaded power-plant shotgun called the 'Viper Express" I have read that it can take out a squirrel at 10 yards (30 feet.) This may be a less expensive alternate for you than a PCP. ( it shoots "Shot" or a "22 Cal" pellet.)

Hollow point is best. It is a hunting pellet.. But be advised you have to hit a bone or the pellet may go right through the rabbit and he will run off and die elsewhere.
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."

What kind of birds will a bb gun kill?
Depending on the power of the BB gun. They will kill most any small or medium size bird. However BB guns are not designed for hunting, Pellet guns and rifles make a better choice. BB do not deform on impact and the bird will suffer before death. Hunting with a pellet rifle is more humane. Pellets (especially hollow point pellets) mushroom on impact and make a clean kill.
Can a pellet gun kill a turkey?
Possible- depending on the pellet gun. I hunt smaller animals (squirrels) with a Sheridan 5mm rifle. It WILL kill a squirrel at 45 yards. However, a squirrel and a turkey are 2 very different animals. To kill a turkey cleanly, it would have to be a head shot- and turkeys are VERY skittish animals. You also need to check if it would be LEGAL to kill a turkey with a pellet gun in YOUR state (assuming we are talking about a wild turkey) The game laws are different for each state.
