benjo999 1 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Which is the best caliber for hw77 k for hunting. Heard that it is best in .177 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 A calibre you can hit the kill zone with every time.... Both are as good as each other man, hit the zone and the target will drop. 177 has a flatter trajectory, and is perhaps more 'forgiving' with distances, but the 22 hits harder. It's that simple. 1 Quote Link to post
random 659 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 you will never get a definitive answer to this question,we all use different,well some use both but it's all preference when all said and done i think... Quote Link to post

silentshot1 206 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 My HW77 is pretty awesome in 177, my HW97 likewise in 22! Both will do the job very well 2 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 All four cals will do the job as long as you know your set up ,ie gun ,scope , pellet and most impotent your self Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Apart from .25... It's wank unless spat out on a ticket Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I prefer .22 for hunting. and spring rifles are better in .22 less recoil and easier to cock. (when compared to .177, never used a .20 or .25) 1 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,800 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Its not the rifle cal its the shooter both will do the same but its how good the shooter is as the shooter is the only thing that can fail atvbmac :thumbs: Quote Link to post
NativeFrog 5 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Regarding the use of .177 caliber (and provided you shoot accurately) do you think it is capable of killing rabbits "humanely" or would you recommend .22 ? 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yes it would and so will all the other cals as long as you can do your stuff right Quote Link to post
mattybugeye 884 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 .22 smoother to shoot but .177 flatter trajectory personally I don't know spent ten years trying to decide still no nearer knowing so buy 1 of each lol 2 Quote Link to post
