The maximum ftp for a rifle is 11.8, pistols around 5.5. Do not use a pistol on vermin unless shooting rats at very very close range. If you want something small go for a rat catcher around 8ftp you can then cut off the butt plate so ive been told.

Has anyone tried webley moquito pellets.
-
Air Arms field and H&n field target are great in my rifle, i was given a few superdomes to try out they also grouped very well. Down my local gunshop everyones going crazy over the webley moquito pellets.
-
Does anyone know what pellet has the highest lead content.
-
We are not talking .22 i was using .177 AA pellet in a 97k v-mach with a 6-24x50 scope, 2 metres above your having a laugh. What ft/lb was the gun producing Ramcam? It was producing round about 11.5 -11.7.

What signals are we sending out here?

What signals are we sending out here? Are we really saying that it's alright to be aiming at live quarry 70 yards away with a 12ft/lb air rifle,ffs get real! You can produce all the facts and figures you want but it seems like you've sacrificed good old common sense. THIS SHOT WAS ONLY ATTEMPTED ONCE AND IT WAS A ONE SHOT KILL WOULD NOT TRY ON PIGEONS I WAS USING A .177, I DID NOT NEED MUCH HOLD OVER AT ALL ONLY ABOUT ONE INCH ABOVE THE HEAD IMPACT WAS IN THE NECK. MOHAMED WAS MEARLY STATING A FACT.

Great thanks mohamed.
-
Well Done lad. What calibre and shot placement?

hw97k and hw100t Come on Weihrauch

My first rifle was a BSA Super Sport paid £115 with silencer 10 year ago, now they are £200. The rifles I am using at this moment are both Weihrauchs.

Not quite. A 15 grain pellet with a ballistic coefficient of .020, making <11ft/lbs at the muzzle (~570fps) will retain ~5ft/lbs at 50 yards. That would mean ~3ft/lbs at 70 yards. Keeping the zero at 30 yards here's what we can expect from a <11ft/lbs rifle (under optimum conditions) Yds |fps |FP |Drop |Sightline 1 |570.26 |10.83 |0.005 |-1.497 5 |553.17 |10.19 |0.137 |-0.597 10 |532.53 |9.45 |0.569 |+0.260 15 |512.65 |8.76 |1.331 |+0.788 30 |457.38 |6.97 |5

Hi. I agree with all the folks on here who've said that in sub FAC guns (in .22) they are so slow, it's very hard to place your shots well. In .177 though, they fly much faster (750 ish f.p.s.) and hold their energy very well down-range. They are very well made (by H and N) and if your gun likes them, you could do a lot worse. It's all trial and error which can be a pain but it's just the way it is. Cheers. thanks

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU DO NOT GET PISTON BOUNCE IN SPRINGERS IF THE SEALS ARE IN WORKING ORDER. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT .177 HEAVY PELLETS (RABBIT MAGNUMS) IN A SPRINGER. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HIS CLAIM?
-
Really light or heavy pellets may cause excessive piston bounce and extensive use will damage the seals and cause spring fatigue. It also causes detonation at times which will result in broken springs eventually. The same goes for loose/tight pellets. Noticing the recoil is a telltale sign for such issues. This is specific to springers and does not apply for PCPs, CO2 or Pump Action rifles/pistols. This mostly happens with extra light pellets in magnum rifles (when the fps bug bites) and extra heavy pellets in light powered rifles (when the ft/lb bug bites!) lol.. Well said Mohamed.
-
Chap..you are a little mixed up and putting the cart before the horse...you will not get any piston bounce with a heavy pellet and a decent barrel fit if the gun is in good condition and seals functioning, totally the opposite actually. Heavy pellets do not lead to broken springs, poor gun maintenance may produce this! But if anyone using the gun has not noticed any performance issues before this catastrophic event I will be amazed. The same goes for loose/tight pellets Same response..a tight pellet does not cause piston bounce, it may lead to seal damage which in turn could cause this

Thanks, I will be using them in a pcp only for short range fun obviously, lighter than pile drivers, my main pellets are between 6.9-10.5 grain. 9 grain max in a springer and thats pushing it, you could end up with a broken spring.

Rabbit Magnums found here www.drapers-airguns.co.uk this information was given to me by Mohamed Tassem. Thankyou Mohamed If anyone has used these pellets please post here.

Try drapers-airguns.co.uk. They have a good collection and if not they should be able to source it for you. Most of the time I import from UK, I do it with Blackpool Air Rifles (www.airgunbuyer.com) I dont know whether they stock this particular pellet. But their service is good. Give them a try too. The main thing is that I think these pellets are no longer under production. But stocks should be there with these guys. Thankyou very much Mohamed you have been very helpful.
