bet youve looked through the data and compared it to your own findings mate.

 

That was really good from Giles mind, sometimes he gets a bit over bearing for me

the lgv's look a cracking pair of rifles, specially the lgu.

Seems like a fair set of results, what you would expect from the heavier pellets. Would have been better with a heavy weight pellet thrown in there....

Why is the power, velocity and calibre in imperial, yet the distance in metric? Doesn't that put the applecart amongst the pigeons for calculations?

I know it would send my lass' OCD over the edge...

Indeed, always interesting to see someone do it, but this information is already in the public domain...and I thought quite well known!

So .22 is the Best then, with heavy pellet and i just bought 5000 + a free tin of FAP pellets

 

I know what i will stick to and it will not be heavies

[bilbobagins 92]

To much information for my liking, as mac says get a gun you like find the pellet it likes and and go and enjoy shooting it

im halfway through a tin of fap and well impressed with them.... only thing is there only putting out just over 10flb and i like a bit more!

I've had it with jsb, last tin of 5.52's looked like they had been recycled from a pellet catcher and the ones that looked ok were all over the place!

rws aren't far behind on the accuracy but get spat out of the 100 at 11+

The facts and physics are indisputable, despite the obvious unscientific manner of the video!

 

Just the same you are talking circa 10% variations, if you find a pellet you get on with then fine, go for it.

Analyzing shooting is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.

I rather suspect you are correct, but the technicalities of shooting are VERY important and most people who shoot are involved with that on a day to day basis, even if they don't consider they are.

 

Wind drift, drop, grouping, ammo selection etc etc are all part of that.

 

If you want to get serious and very accurate, then you have to get VERY technical, ask your average country shooter or sniper about technicalities and analysing shooting, and you will find most actually do more of that than shooting itself!

Don't fall into the trap of which one is better VM. Have you seen the guy martin program where it's an F1 car vs a superbike? That is the .22 vs .177 cal debate all over, where really, they aren't meant to be compared.

I agree that assessing the shot is critical but over analysing a shot or your shooting isn't healthy or productive. I'm a big fan of belief in yourself and your shot combined with decent equipment and your on the right road ..a good example is I've always in 30 odd years shot with a 30/30 ret... I eventually felt I must get a mildot scope and did but soon found for me it was a mistake because it was making me over think the shot and quite destracting whereas and I know this sounds a little corny with the 30/30 I would be more in the moment and feel the shot.. no amount of analysing can compete with plinking what must be 100s of thousands of pellets in my time shooting air rifles....bottom line is do what works for you.
