Should I get the .22 cal CFX

[navyseals101]

Or the .177 call CFX?


eeehhh

I really wish i could see a distance/vertical distance graph of trajectory of .177 vs .22 being fired

I really want to know how much the .22 drops

i finally finished working, I never work

I'm in college though

I want to get a CFX, I just dont know which one two get between .177 or .22

All depends on what you want it for, punchin paper with the occasional small game hunt, go .177.

While the CFX is not listed here, it may be of interest if you'll match it up with a simular piece.
At least it gave me ideas as to what to expect.

Then velocity test results.
I thought it to be an interesting read.

I noticed a Diana 48 has a difference of only 2 ft. Lbs. from 10-50 yds. between the .17 & .22. and the same at the muzzle.
I'm not testifying to accuacy of the test at all,,, though no reason to doubt the results. Interesting none the less.

...you'll find that they list velocity vs. distance for the older lead pellets (Match, Hunter, etc.). Since vertical drop per unit time is virtually unrelated to caliber or pellet weight it shouldn't be terribly difficult to get a rough idea of what you can expect.

I've found that it's not much of an issue between the two calibers out to 60 yards or so (I don't shoot further than that). The .22 drops more at closer ranges but since it generally retains velocity better the difference lessens at greater distances.

One thing about the .22 CFX, though - there's been a few reports of abnormally low velocity out of some of these guns. Don't know if it's really an issue, but it might be worth looking into.
