Whats the beast like RFB i used to like the heavys but found some would drop on the spot dead some would run then drop dead dead but they did not know they were dead and when i picked them up the shot was spot on so went back to exact 8.46 atvbjimmy Quote Link to post
Deker 3,450 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Out of curiosity what sort of speed and ft lb are you getting from these heavy .177, particularly the 16.2gr? Cheers 1 Quote Link to post

Sorry, not trying to take this of track, but will/does it hold its energy like a .22 and how does the arc compare with a similar .22? I'm thinking it should retain better penetration but give a smaller wound channel. Not sure where I'm going here but this may be giving the .177 a bit more versatility, but 16.2gr is still very heavy for a .177. Is shot count still down (PCP) on .22, I guess it will be?! Sorry/Cheers! Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I’ll do a chrono test at range when I get a bit of time for it. As for accuracy, the beast is ok at medium range and the heavy is very accurate. I’ll run them both against the exact 8.4 for both accuracy and energy retention. As soon as I can get it done I’ll post it up Edit to say, don’t know about shot count with the heavies, I haven’t checked that....yet. Edited June 27, 2018 by Rimfireboy! 1 Quote Link to post
