Harsey you should look into a couple of accessories for racoon dispatching; a suppressor and the .22 SSS (sniper subsonic) from aquila. The suppressor is obvious, it'll allow you to shoot whenever without irriating the neighbors, the aguila .22 SSS is about twice as heavy as a normal .22 LR and very effective.

I've used them on coons and as long as you're relatively close, you're good to go. They have a lot more "oomph" than the normal 30 gr .22 lr's.

The only issue is the really heavy bullet doesn't stabilize as well because of the slower twist so long range accuracy isn't anything to crow about. But I was shooting out my back window at probably 10-20 yards and they were great.
