pointed pellets for greater distance?

I dissagree chris, When I was hunting with my solo in .177 I had a few runners But on the magority that didnt run I never saw much evidence of over penatration. If you hit the right spot you want as much penatration and punch as you can get.

Whilst i say this i did switch over to .22 but that was for the sheere impact of a heavier pellet. And it seems to be working out for me, But I would not hesitate to hunt with a .177 again.

I have nothing against .177. I've used them to great effect, but alot of people do complain about runners. I believe this is more to do with poor shot placement than choice of calibre. I've yet to see a runner from a head shot. Calibre has nothing to do with it.
