tomburras 2,730 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I never realised there was a problem with a .22 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 There isn't. It's the ease of killing that favours 177. Aim dead on from 8 to 45 yards as you'll know. Quote Link to post

Dr B 186 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 And dr bob strides in and ruffles some feathers... Again. Get your hunting pics on the forum man. Let's see what ya got can be 22 or 177... Heavy or light That's unfair and inaccurate. People have mild pops, and I pop back - I'm just better at it and you think I'm the one starting things? - Sorry that's just inaccurate. Anyway, nuff said. Hunting pics? Have you heard of photoshop? hahaha. Proves nothing. I've never understood people who take pictures of dead animals. I've been shooting on and off for 30 years my friend, never done it once. I'm not preaching to others, if you want to do it, then fine, not judging, but not for me and never will be. Each to their own. Quote Link to post
Dr B 186 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I never realised there was a problem with a .22 As Rez said, there is no problem with a .22. People have been using .22s for decades to hunt vermin. 1 Quote Link to post
Dr B 186 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) There isn't. It's the ease of killing that favours 177. Aim dead on from 8 to 45 yards as you'll know. If you understand your .22, have done your practice and research on pellets, zerored to the right distance, have worked out your small hold overs and unders from that, then I'd say 15 - 45yds is true for .22 as an 'optimal' range. While the trajectory is certainly more curved for .22, people interpret this as being 'too curved' - not at all. In real terms its often flatter than people think. People confuse a relative difference (.177 is flatter than .22) with an absolute difference, (.177 is completely flat, .22 is completely curved). The latter is not accurate.
