By the way I'd like to clarify that this is for hunting rather then targets! I'm aware a .177 is the preferred option for targetting due to it's smaller size but what I'm really after is the stopping power of the two pellets, obviously I would be aiming for the specific areas necessary for a clean kill but is a .22 with a greater impact size the preferred orf the .177 with a more guaranteed through and through more effective?? Thanks again for the info, but let's keep the death threats down yeh? ;)

Brilliant mate, LOADS of help!!!!!! I think I'll change to the .177 for a while caus with any sub-12ft.lbs. I think head shots will be necessary and it seems this will give me better accuracy over the longer distances compared to the .22 Thanks again guys and now doubt I'll be posting more queries soon! :)

Im not one for equations! Basically I heard .22 will deliver more impact force due to it's larger size, therefore increasing it's killing ability? But a .177 travels faster and hits harder but caus of it's smaller size can pass through the animal and not deliver all it's power? just wondering what's the preferred option for you hunters? :)

Brilliant, thanks guys, really helpful :)

Hey, I'm relatively new to using air rifles and was wondering which is the best pellet size? I heard .22's give more killing capacity but .177's travel faster?? Any help would be much appreaciated thanks
