knock down power

[deanothehunter 34]

anyone have any idea what foot poundage is left in a pellet between 30 and 40 yards ? and what would be the minimum foot poundage needed to kill a rabbit the rws super domes im using seem to have nothing left at that distance:wallbash:......

What gun do you have, I use .22 RWS Superdomes in my HW100, and it smacks rabbits on to their arses at 50 yards

a gunpower stealth but they only read about 10.8 on chrony

air arms field are better in my gun but you get nearly 100 damaged ones in every tin super domes as accurate just lower powered over distance about 10.8 on chrony gun is gunpower stealth and its fussy about what its fed

At 10.8 at the muzzle .22 superdomes have 6.75 ft/lbs left at 30 yards and at 40 they have 5.77 ft/lbs

 

It takes less than 4ft/lbs to drop a bunny.

 

Actually I used my HW40 last week to put a bunny down granted it was Point Blank, but it only has an output of about 2.3 ft/lbs.

It was an adult Doe that had gotten tangled in a wire. One shot in the brain and she was lifeless

cheers phantom thats good to know then,...but short of taking chrony and shooting through the sensors at 30-40 yardsi was wondering...cheers again mate...

remember that shot placement is a lot more important than power so even if your gun is powereful enough to kill a rabbit at 40 yrds, you need to make sure you cant shoot accuratly enoguh at 40 yrds.

I kill rabbits all day long at 50 yard's with my HW100 KT .177. I shot a young hare at 50 yards just last week and the pellet went in the left eye and exited the right eye with RWS super domes.

Something wrong with you rifle mate.

 

My stealth and Storm where shooting Bisley 21 grain Magmums at 11.8FP, id get it checked or try a heavier pellet.

 

Ref the AA Fields, after speaking to Tony Wall yesterday the RWS Super Fields are the excact same pellet as the AA Field and the FX 16 grain pellet but come from a better made pellet die.

 

I got a tin yesterday to use in my HW95K and HW97KT and i didnt find a bad one in the tin.

 

I shot a lased 41 metres woody this morning with my 95K with them.
