albert64 1,882 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 i've always used .22 and took rabbits at 60yds with no trouble, its just taking the time learning your holdover/under but i've bit the bullet and treated myself to an airwolf in .177 the first .177 iv'e ever owned its shot placement not calibre that counts and i dont think i'll struggle with that it was putting one hole groups at 42yds there's enough on here to show what a .177 can do Quote Link to post
Craig Fosse 286 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Haha yer or they just don't know much about air gunning at all which is my thoughts, back to Internet shopping! Quote Link to post
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hmmm ...hey. I've got it! maybe I'll just try .22 out and see for myself! I'm a newbie myself, but if you have neighbours, hollowpoint pellets might prevent over-penetration? Any thoughts, anyone? Quote Link to post
jandcguns 65 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Try .20 calliper 50/50 but 177 is the best. IMO Quote Link to post
