I hope contraversial is allowed. 

I've been shooting solely sprung air rifles for donkeys. I think Si Pittaway is a top geezer..... We disagree on Calibre choice. Sorry Si. 

However, I don't think anything other than 0.177 works properly with any air Rifle especially hunting where precision is even more important. 

I've shot rabbits at 50 yards with the smaller caliber and seen the pellet pass through head and heart and lung... 

I've read a lot about dumping energy, but I think a flatter trajectory is key. 

PCPs obviously reduce the impact of slow lock times, but those bigger calibres are SLOW.... 

I shoot quarry I should one or another particular Rifles tuned for higher power (I email myself shot strings from a variety of pellet weights) but I also shoot heavy 10.x (forget the second figure is that approximate) grains to try and delivery more energy but retain the flatter trajectory and accuracy of a 0.177 

However, I maybe wrong... I spend most of my time indoors shooting 

Nowadays
