I have worked out the bc to be around 0.0245 which is about the same as a.177 jsb 8.44 grn so not a super high bc . Compared to a 16 or 18 grn jsb .but certainly good enough to hold energy and accuracy out to 80 yds they also drop less at every range than the heavier pellets out to 80 yds if you don't change the guns energy out put . It's win win win for the lighter .22 pellets in my book .

I love em . I find they work well in every .22 I've had . Both sub12 . And fac Springer and pcp . I had 2 pigeons at 81 yds in the summer one right after the other .dropped on the spot . 865 fps fac . 80 yds being my max range for these pellets it's also where my reticle runs out .

I'd say trump by a land slide . Just like labour got in in the UK. Not because people wanted Labour but because they didn't want the tories any longer . Same with kamala .and Joe

Fill you boots mice . They look like a pretty solid pellet .ie quality product and at the price kriss is selling them at great value . I still have around 30 k of jsb in stock So don't actually need to re stock just yet . I'm also shooting less airgun these days than I have in a long time (things tend to Ebb and flow ) I'm sure the bug will return in time . If you need em mice buy them up .

I have this same gun .mine has an 8 inch moderator fixed onto a 2 inch barrel extension so I can swap the chokes about if I want to . Though I tend to stick with the 1/2 choke it works well . My 8 in mod kills the bang and means I don't need ear protection. Good for me and the dog .obviously it hugely reduces field noise too .the sellers 10 inch mod will be quieter than mine . Which is plenty quiet enough. -
Probably . I've always thought that 2.5 mm / no 6 1/2 would be the best pellet for pigeon .crows .clays . Etc to my mind at least it sits right in the middle of pellet count v energy v pattern size . I tend to go down to 2.4 mm euro no 7 1/2 As they are often cheaper than going up to a 2.6 mm English no6 .

Bullet expansion, or not!
Ultrastu replied to London Best's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
Softer steel targets that get penetrated have a tendancy to actually make a projectile smaller diameter wize .they round over the tip making it great for pentrating the second skin of the steel box or skip etc . Expansion of a projectile .comes with high speeds .and a gradual but constant slowing down through the medium (think all the ballistic gel vids u have seen)3mm of steel or hard plastic etc doesn't do this . So yeah a fox will expand a bullet where thin steel sheet won't . -
A hamster (not a palm rest that goes on the underside of the pistol grip ) fitted to the underside of an air gun is useful for hft but far from necessary . Hft is a great sport and you can shoot with what every you fancy (within the rules ) take your prosport and enjoy your self . Always nice to beat guys with all the kit, with your simple springer .
