.177 at 100 yards that much of a disadvantage over .22,25, .30?

[357cal]

in the hands of what someone who knows what they are doing a 177 in a super accurate set up who really knows how to read wind will devastate a person shooting a 30 cal who cant read the wind and only has an average gun..... so all depeneds on the shooter and how accurate said .177 is..
for instance my raw bm500 177 25 meters its pointless... the guns so accurate 25 meters is a waiste of time......at 50 meters groups less than half of a coin are easy.... and at 100 yards groups are very small.....if u know the wind... the 177 will amaze u in a super accurate set up

It's simple science, the question is

.177 at 100 yards that much of a disadvantage over .22,25, .30?​

not about how well someone can shoot. You can have a northeast wind and then down range it could be different.

I just replaced my 22 cal 600 mm barrel with a .177 600 mm barrel on my Crown MK2. It shot 13.4 gr JSB KO slugs at 995. Really good accuracy at 50 yards, but at 100 yards, the wind caused the groups to open up quite a bit.

Further, I shot a 100 yd EBR target in windy conditions last weekend and scored a 191/250. I believe the rifle is perfectly capapable but you have to be better at judging the wind. I think this has a lot of potential. How about a .177 class??

I am curious enough about this same question I plan to test it out myself with using .177, .22, an .25
