Ft lbs rimfire

[hambone]

Just wondering what the ft lbs of a .22 rimfire (subsonic) was in relation to a fac air rifle

[Blunderbuss]

I think roughly 100 ft/lbs ish (ball park figure depending on brand etc) for a .22LR sub. So about 3 or 4 times the energy of an average FAC air rifle. I think!

[SPARKIE]

approx 85-90ftlb for subs most fac air rifles run around the 30ftlb mark

[Goldfish]

90ftlb for most subs

For short range/tree/barn use I use CCI CB Longs at 32ftlb - 29 grain bullet instead of an air rifle.

In barns i just use my trusty .22 12ft lb hw97k

[peck]

this is the link to the Eley hollow point page and it states that at the muzzle ft.lb = 101ft.lb.

for an air rifle it will all depend on setup of rifle and weight of pellet.

It has I think 99Ftlbs for winchester subs...I think it says it on the box I will check, but they have a knock to them.

Click on each type then hit the ballistics button.

 

I use CBlongs now instead of FAC air..... Check the ballistics you'll see why.

CB longs and shorts are my replacement for an air rifle too.

20 clicks on the scope and I can move between CBs and subs.

Upside is that the CBs make less noise than a sub

I load 20+ at a time in the mag of a Marlin 39A and an unmoderated gun is quieter than a moderated gun shooting subs.
