I can't find a calculator that converts FPE to FPS.

Thank in advance.

need to know weight of projectile, Given that FPE of 108 , I'm thinking 30 cal . A slug weighing 60g would be going about 905 FPS. Heavier slug would be slower, lighter one faster.

I read on an Altaros post that 1 mile was achieved with their M24 PCP with a 67 grain slug.
"144J - 108FPE was muzzle velocity ( at the end of the barrel ) and 33J- 25FPE on the target."

New World Record Longest Airgun Hit

Oure more than 5-year journey from the first slug tests to the previous world record 3.5 years ago is over. We achieved our goal of hitting a target at a distance of one Mile - 1625m, 1777 yards ! I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed this journey to my goal. We will gradually add...

I normally read FPS when using Strelock Pro and with my MagentoSpeed. So I wanted to know what it equivalents.

Thanks, I can't wrap my head around a 850 fps at a tethered 3022 psi can achieve a 1mile shot. I thought it would be over 1000 fps?

Shot is taken well safe from trans-sonic shock and therefor fly's stable. A bullet design with a high BC value does not slow down as much over the flight distance. If RPM of bullet is managed well with barrels twist rate, said bullet will go that distance w/o becoming gyroscopic unstable.

In other words a near perfect storm muzzle to target :p

I guess I can equate the shot to shooting a cannon ball. No doubt my Texan .257 LSS can reach 1 mile when it finally drops to earth.

My interest in the M24 would be for target shooting under 1000 yards with accuracy and with intention. Not luck.

Buy a THOMAS AIR Slug Gun and swedge his own design slugs & shoot them in the manor stated by Mike.

Yes, I have looked into the Thomas line. It's great gun, but not in a realistic price range for a retiree with lots of hobbies and interests. My new gun funding is for approximately $2000. The M24 would cost about $1800 USD plus shipping.

If these AG's do make it to these shores, they will surely get a work out and opinions noted on the forums.
Hope your plans work out and the M24 if able to get here in the USA is all you hope it will be.

There are only 2 ranges which I can take advantage of the M24's capabilities.
The Sacramento Valley club and the San Luis Obispo Central Coast Range.
Both offer targets at 1000 yards.

I'm more incline to spend my time at SLO, as the Sac range needs a special invitation or voting membership to shoot 1000 yards.
