Longer range performance, it's that simple. Whether your goal is long range targets, or more power for hunting, that is where the HP air rifles have the advantage. I'm afraid the growth of HP will hasten more regulation, which could really change the landscape of the sport.

Yep!
" landscape of the sport. " Shall change Sadly!....it is inevitable!...............Technology will rein supreme!....Air Guns will be equal to .22 powder burner's...........And here come the laws that prohibit....*mark my word!........Enjoy this GREAT Quiet sport guns/mods......for as long as we can because the days are simply numbered........The Mod will be construed as a Silencer and our Mass projectiles with increased velocities and Shall will no longer be shot in your back yard. Today's Semi Auto's are already very nice.
So back to he subject at hand, .....maybe we can convince the New-bees to go less than 1000 FPS w/ 177cal to punch paper. After all this thread is/was why do we need more?...
Answer: Convince them New-bees, we D0-Not Need 1000 fps or more and Quietly ENJOY!

Bear in mind the ballistic coefficient for any pellet varies with velocity. For domed pellets, a muzzle velocity somewhere in the realm of 825 - 925 will yield the optimum BC, which represents a real advantage over a slower-moving pellet, even when the range and holdover are precisely known.
Granted, barrel harmonics have the first say in what speeds are accurate. But in the case where a rifle is producing indistinguishable groups at both 700fps and 850fps at short range, it will almost certainly fare better at 850fps when you stretch the distance.

I’m a hunter. I don’t shoot paper. I kill stuff and eat it so I want fpe. As much as I can get and still be accurate. I have taken squirrels with my 25 using 34gr at 960fps and in the same hunt smoked a 150# hog.

This thread, and the link, have been good reads.
I like FX rifles because you easily set most all of the parameters that give good BC on the fly.
