The External Ballistics Of Diabolo Pellets and watching this Ted Holdover YouTube video
Pushing the Velocity of .22 Pellets I'm wondering if we should be testing the .22 JSB 18.13 pellet in the 950 to 960 fps range for maximum accuracy at 50 or even 100 yards?
I've been shooting firearms all my life, but other than shooting BB and pellet guns as a kid, I've only been shooting airguns seriously for about 2 years. And when I got started with airguns, I fell into the 880 fps crowd for the .22 18.13 pellet pretty quickly, as that seemed to be the consensus velocity I kept reading about.
So, is 880 fps really the sweet spot for the .22 JSB 18.13 pellet at 50 or even 100 yards?
