.177cal vs .22 cal at 100 yards

[KDX]

I was messing around with Strelok Pro and decided to compare the drop and drift (10mph cross wind) with the 10.34gr JSB .177cal pellets @ 900fps and the 18.13gr JSB .22cal pellets @ 900fps. Not as much difference in drift and drop as I had expected. Both with 30 yard zeros.

Way cool, thanks for posting

Very interesting.

Be interesting to actually try. The .177's would be thrown around a lot by the wind, but that would make it fun.

I would love to experiment with this, my last place had steel targets from ~120 yards to 272 yards, for airguns. Didn't have my wife's .177 PCP at the time to try it at distance.

I only shoot .25 JSBs, huge retained energy and better BC to target compared to .177 and .22. Love shooting targets at 100 and 150 yards, like being mini sniper.

Airforce Condor PCP is my gun.




Still gets thrown around in the wind, but tight enough to vent a gopher, Predator pellets group poorly compared to domed.

That's some nice shooting. I have a Condor also that I want to try some slugs in.

Thanks, slugs really burn thru things, but I found pellet skirts better at longer ranges.

Really cool to see, thanks! I've only ever had a .177, current is just the cheap stoeger, I think its 1000 or 1200fps. I'd like to get a more expensive one in .22 cal eventually.

I found this a good watch
