paulus 26 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 its a very underestimated calibre in this country but favoured in the states, as the saying goes you can have your cake and eat it :laugh: Quote Link to post

robwelsh 354 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The hitting power is incredible. And with the h&n very little difference hold etc. I was lucky to have a mate who had a mk1 .20 cal, an saw me have difficulty sourcing barrel and probes, so he sold me them off his lol and went and bought a mfr .20 cal then, so I give him hand sorting the mfr out , an we going to build the mk1 back up lol I love rapids, an I love .20 cal, just hope I can bag few things with it now...and I got another perm coming too shortly lambing season :) Quote Link to post

clubshot 22 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 .20 is a dying club - even the States give it a miss Now that pellet manufactures have done greater Selection in .177 Not forgetting the Pax Piledriver @ .21 Grains - If you really want Stopping power BOB/R Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I give up with the defiants etc, iv tried three diff head sizes in .177 , plus the ogive...couldn't group on half an a4 paper at 20yards.. ..everyone iv been talking to lately are all for .20 now.. Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi What fps will a .20 reach and what grain pellet ? Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Mine does 660fps with 11.4 h&n , can barely notice it to a mate's hw100 .177 as travel to target time goes lol whereas, .22 an .177 there's a delay Quote Link to post
jackinbox99 41 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ive been looking out for a .20 for a long time, they are pretty rare on the for sale boards. I think once someone has one, they seldom want to sell it! One day i`ll get one when one comes up! Quote Link to post
