New Chrono You want a Labradar (as opposed to a Labrador, shooting the latter to find out the energy is just cruel). Unfortunately, they, the Labradar which costs around the same as a Labrador but is resuable, costs as much as your gun. Well proven though at least with "proper" firearms. https://mylabradar.com Edited March 9, 2019 by Alsone forgot the link Quote Link to post

philpot 4,925 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 It sounds like a perfect opportunity To go to get a load of various pellets and see which works for your gun, then see what the chrono s reads. I recall reading that .177 is not popular in the US because they don't respond well to higher power in terms of wobbly flight path. I am not qualified but my thoughts for what they are worth, a .177 pellets at normal sub 12 power can and often does go straight through the head of a rabbit so would a higher power .177 do no more damage than a sub powered pellet. Probably the reason that most fac air hunting is done with .22, .25 and popular in some countries, .30. I know from my own experience that the .25 does plenty of damage with very few runners.

Phil Get a 16 grain pellet like .177 Piledrivers and then you will see why a 30 ft lb .177 is desired (920 feet per second so no trans sonic problems).... 1 Quote Link to post

About heavyweight magnum pellets in my HW80 .22 Robo9? They don't perform from my rifle. That's not to say they are a dead loss in your rifle But the only way to know, is to try a variety of different weights and head sizes till a winner emerges. H&N Field Target Trophy 5 53mm/.22 are the perfect pellet for my HW80 .22 at 23 ft/lbs. Does that answer your query? 1 Quote Link to post
