MV to pellet weight!


Recommended Posts


Probably been around before but how is MV affected by pellet weight?

ie if a gun produces 12ft/lb with Bisley Magnum (21.4 grain) what would it be with Air arms field at 16 grain?

Is it a relative thing?

 

Generally speaking a heavier pellet will produce a higher ftlb's figure than a lighter pellet,although the reverse is true with a spring powered gun.

A bisley mag weighing 21.4 grain leaving a pcp at 502 fps will be almost exactly 12ftlbs,therefore a 16 grain pellet at the same velocity will be producing 8.9 ftlbs.HTH'S,Bill
