thanks for your help guys, much appreciated! ill take a look into those ATVB Jezza

Thanks for the replies guys! So glad its not just me who's has this "overkill" or "lack of punch" or whatever you want to call it with .177 cal, more and more I'm edging towards .22 now for my new gun now ATVB Jezza

Incidently guys, one of the reasons im thinking of changing calibre from my trusted .177 is a couple of weeks ago while out shooting squirrels on my permission i came across one of the furry little critters on the floor rummaging about in the leaves, 30yrds away, took aim, BANG, hits him bang in the head (On later inspection perfectly placed) and the little beggar runs about 15ft along the deck heading for his favourite tree only to give up the ghost and die as it reached the base of the tree! On inspection my Daystate Li pellet had hit a perfect brain shot and cleanly exited the other side,

Acuspell, thanks for your input mate, nice to speak to someone who has put time into testing all 3 calibre's Iv'e never tried .20 because when i started shooting the ammo that was available was few and far between so i stayed away from it and started using .177 instead which stood me in good stead later on when i shot 15 yrs at FT and I've never really given .22 a proper chance either if im honest but was contemplating it now purely for hunting (sub 12ft/lb), but looking at the calibre logically .20 does seem to be the best of both worlds where trajectory and power retention are concerned.

Hi Guys Do many of your use hand held laser rangefinders when out shooting? If so what make and model do you use? Or do any of you use the small scope mounted laser for range finding? again what make and model do you use? ATVB Jezza

Got it, thanks for your help guys! ATVB Jezza

Afternoon guys Im a relatively new member and ive noticed when you guys post, at the botton it says what weapons you use, how do i edit this so mine does the same?? Cheers guys ATVB Jezza Daystate Huntsman, Leupold 6.5-20 Premiere reticule, Daystate Li ( I guess ill do it manually for now!) lol

i have the same problem using photos from my iPhone mate, ive even tried cropping the photo's on iPhoto on my macbook pro and they are still to large to upload Still, its our own downfall i suppose as we like phones that take great pics but then can't use them! lol Hav a look in the app store mate there may be an app that alwoys you to alter pics and maybe downgrade there pixels etc, not sure but its worth a try! ATB Jezza

Incidently, those of you who do use .20, what ammo do you use?? Sorry to confuse this debate even more lol Cheers guys, as always your help and advice is much appreciated! :thumbs: Jezza

Some great posts there guys! As ever this topic has caused great debate, much appreciated! Ive had my .177 huntsman for 17yrs and now i think im up for a long overdue upgrade, but was wondering wether to switch to .22 or not, or even .20 if the gun i decide to get is available in that calibre as nowadays there are a greater number of available range of pellets than when i bought my huntsman.

Hi Guys No doubt this question has arisen many times before but as im new here ill start another discussion for myself to gather opinions. What is your preferred airgun calibre for hunting in sub 12ft/lbs and why?? Thanks guys ATB
