mistwalker 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'm about to get an Air Arms TX200HC or an HW97K, the question is - .177 or .22? I've always used .22, and my current HW95K is.22, but I'm aware that .177 is a flatter trajectory etc. I'm curious about the impact force of a smaller pellet, especially at longer ranges (40-50m). Does it still produce a clean kill at this range? I know I have to apply more holdover with a .22, but if I hit the target, it usually goes down 1st time, can I expect the same with .177?

midnight 657 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 i would say yes mate i favoe a 177 over a 22 every time .. i dont think you will notice any diferance withh 177 impact.. you will ,i feel be much more acurate with a 177 at longer ranges so will hit pin point vital spots ie brain. iv droped all sorts with ease with a 177 even a fox cub a 25 yards in the lamp . it was years ago i must ad i was littel more than a kid . and the gun was a 177 titan manatou (now falcon) all the best matt Quote Link to post
