The same stuff applies to air guns.

Gregg, the comparisons I used with the 7.9 gr. and the 14.3 gr. pellets will give almost equal energy levels in the Beeman R-9 .177 and .22. These particular pellets have a higher ballistic coefficient so if you use a different pellet for this energy comparison test you will get a different result.Bottom line is in the CFX power class with high ballistic coefficient pellets you will be hard pressed to have measurable advantages in"killing effectiveness" I suggested the .177 because of it's flatter trajectory which for most people means it's easier to hit the target. If you just shoot the lightest, fastest .177 pellets they will have considerably less energy at 50yards than the slower, heavier .22 pellet. So you see it's not all about velocity. Pellet choice matters too. Hope this clears that up. Good luck and happy shooting.

Greg, I don't think that we on the forum here are going to be able to answer your questions to either your understanding or your satisfaction.:0

I suggest that you find a copy of "Airguns from Trigger to Target" by Cardew and do a little reading and also research past posts on not only this forum but other forums also. You might also want to consider doing a little research on the Internet. The answer to your questions are all out there if you just look for them. I suggest that you don't come here and be argumentative because you don't get the answer that you like or don't want to accept or object to.

And one thing for sure....WE DON"T LIKE TROLLS HERE....and they will not be tolerated

I'm not a troll, and i'm not trying to be intentionally argumentative. However, when people are not using logic, i will question their premises and reasoning.

i dont even know what the argument was

[navyseals101]

but essentially i was right as progun proved with his mathematics.

the whiffle ball analogy was incorrect....

You asked ?'s got answers,what more do you want.

Steve, take it else where, we don't like BS here.

I apologize to our to our members, but this has gone on long enough. How many times do ?'s have to be answered?

Mike

if you know what is correct & what is incorrect why are you having such a hard time with your decision,there were some good analogies,choose the one that is easiest for you to understand & go from there........I could throw a 14 gr pellet harder than a 7 gr......what do you think...........

SIZE DOES MATTER?? Mr. navyseals101
