None in the poll that I would choose from. I`d like to try shooting a pumkin with a .17 or .22-250.

AK Baby!
To paraphrase Samuel L Jackson: " AK-47 - when you absolutely POSITIVELY have to kill ever single M--------- pumpkin in the room "

7.62x39. I'll put the chinese drum in my AK and fire away. PLUS I could always use incendiary ammo and toast the pumpkin.

Any bigger muzzle flash and you can't see his evil glowing eyes for the followup shot...

My experience with zombie/mutant pumpkins has been velocity+rapid expanding bullets kill. A .223, 22-250, or .243 loaded with hollow point varmint bullets will obliterate a pumpkin, whereas the evil pumpkin will shrug off attacks from larger caliber FMJ bullets and even Turkey loads from a shotgun. Buckshot might be a viable defense from these evil critters, but a varmint rig would be my first choice.

It's been my experience that 7.62x54R does a good job, as does 7.62x39 FMJ.
A few years ago, the former THR TN Mafia got together at the Cheatham County TWRA range. While we were there, a pumpkin revolution began, with worker pumpkin's rising up all around us. I engaged several of the enemy with my trusty Mosin-Nagant M44 carbine. After expending my five rounds, I found myself surrounded by the foe - hideous orange faces everywhere. There was little I could do. I was surrounded and out of ammo. But, being a soldier, I am obligated to adhere to the Code of Conduct. I will not surrender of my own free will, nor will I surrender my men while we have the means to fight. I was left with one choice.
"What makes the grass grow green?" "Blood Drill Sergeant, blood makes the grass grow green!" Those words from Basic Training floated into my mind. Then, I remembered what Drill Sergeant Navaro asked next, that fall morning of 1989, at beautiful Fort Benning, Georgia. "What's the Spirit of the Bayonet!"
"Kill, Kill, Kill with cold blue steel, Drill Sergeant!!!!!!!"
The memory of that small Puerto Rican NCO, holding an M-16 with a mounted bayonet, brought me back to reality. I knew what had to be done. I had to put my life on the line for my fellow Tennesseans. We couldn't let those pumpkins get the best of us.
I extended the trusty bayonet on the end of my M44. I swear, I could feel the spirit of a Russian conscript surge through my body. I was connected to a young peasant, drafted into the Army and now facing young boys and old men of the German Army in Berlin, racing towards the Reichsstag, his objective an underground bunker.
I parried right, I parried left. I slashed right, I slashed left. My blade was strong and true. It pierced into the heart of my enemy, spilling pumpkin seeds onto the ground, like the blood of a Nazi staining the streets of Berlin. I was at one with my rifle. I was a Hero of The People!

Snoopy and I were just sitting on the Dawg house discussing this the other night.
Snoopy has experience with the Great Pumpkin, so I felt it best to go him for advice.
Snoopy had come to me in regard to 28 gauge shotguns. Seems Charlie Brown is still an idiot, he let Lucy actually find out, touch and shoot his 28 gauge.
Yeah, little known fact, Charlie Shoots Sporting Clays, darn good at it too...
Not even sending Pig Pen in to persuade Lucy to give Charlie Back his gun worked.
Charlie ...boy got some serious problems with that Lucy for sure...
Snoopy says a Aviator jacket, leather helmet, and Red Baron-ing it still the best way.
Dog Fight the only way to know for sure. Knock the Great Pumpkin out of the sky and watch 'em crash splat the only way to be sure.
I informed him I don't have a dawg house, and never learned to pilot one.
12 gauge slug then, I've seen you shoot Snoopy suggested to me.
Snoopy's dawg house is a two seater, and he asked me to don Aviator Gear, and strap myself in.
Bring a 12 gauge, and some slugs, and we go Great Pumpkin Huntin'.
You ain't lived till you done this!
rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Check out them little pumpkins on the dawg house, them's mine I felled!
Snoopy gave me my Dog Treat Wings and we celebrated with Pumpkin pie and coffee.
