Snoozer Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Those pellets will be re-branded JSB Exacts. Umm you may have a very good point there, see attached pics of Exact Diablo & FT-Exact. I can't for the life of me see any dicernible difference :( JSB Diablo Exact on the Left, FT Exact on the right lol Brought a tin of H&N Field Target Trophy.........Wow they'll do me....Just need to hold the Gun steady to get a better grouping Zeroed in with the H&N's and quite pleased. I think the tears are shrapnel from the next lane 14 shot.. 5 Shot.. Edited February 15, 2017 by Snoozer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 everyone to there own,its down to personal choice and .20 works for me They all work. But they all have differing characteristics. And while you can argue that a .20 gives the best of both worlds it actually doesn't if you think about it. It gives a compromise between the two more popular calibres. It is both second best and second worst in all categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauldr Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 i think the calibre which is best is whatever your a better shooter with, if your used to .22 then thats the best and vice versa if your good with .177 stick to that ..

mmamonster Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 CODSWALLOP, killed hundreds of bunnies with my two .20 airguns one is a rapid ,the other a daystate huntsman out to 50 yds no problem ps i shoot all calibres from .177 to .303, its not the size that matters its ACCURACY at all times!!!! regds brian Never said you didnt, i said they were worst of both worlds, not flat as a .177 with less hitting power as a .22 Each to there own , if it works for you use it, it doesnt for me so i wont.

Evilv Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I found with air rifle hunting with various .22s, that the hardest part of the job was judging holdover. A flatter trajectory would have made the job FAR easier. Hunting with an air gun you can't be off target at all, or the creature you just shot will run off maimed, so I'd say the smaller flatter shooting caliber is the one to go for. Target shooting is a different matter because you generally know how far away the target is and can judge hold over easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Lots of magpies agree the TX200 in .177 is very effective out to 40yrds...BUT... if you want to wander around then that rifle is very heavy and not easy to put a sling on. If I want to shoot anything passed 40yrds, then the 17HMR or the 17 Remington come into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Pro Sport is essentially the same gun as the TX200 but a lot easier to fit a sling to as the lever does not protrude beyond the woodwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
