its not about how much power you have, its about where you put the pellet. with rabbits just behind they eye is the most humane shot. if you can get all your pellets in a 1" circle at 15m then you can shoot a rabit at 15m.

You're right up to a point Aaron but 350fps with a 14gn pellet is 3.8ft/lb. If that's correct you'd be better off feeding it to the bunnies!

 

I think that rifle is meant to be almost full power, sounds like either your fps reading is wrong or the rifle needs some serious attention!

You`ll be alright with that out to about 3 foot ........................

When I last chronographed my 19 it was running at 545.3 FPS with AAF's (15.9 Grain)

 

And its more than capable of knocking bunnies into the oven out to 35 yards

 

Like this one.

As Aaron says, practice till you can consistantly put your pellets into a target no bigger than a .10 pence coin (better still a .20 pence coin)

 

Sorry to keep putting the pic up, but I like it, I'm waiting to have it printed A3 and framed for the wall

Im sure if you chrono your rifle mate and it is working properly it will be at around 612 FPS.

the boys are right my freind

its a full power rifle and will kill the bunnies out to the 35 yard mark. unless you have half a spring in it. get it crono'ed and then go from there, if its still under then take it to your local gunsmith or if you ok with it do the work your self, check the seal,

hears the info for smk if you need the parts.

ps if you do do any work to it ie new spring make shure you have it tested with a few different pellets as the new sping will often take it over the legal limit.
