I've got a HW30 only springer rated scopes should be used. Someone said you could put a Simmons 44mag 6x24 I tried and ruined my Simmons 44mag in one stroke of my HW30.

N/A Show me your low power setups!

I humbly submit the afore mentioned BRK line either a .177-.22 Atomic or Ranger and a .22 Pathfinder as a higher powered big brother.
The only problem I am finding with the BRK engineering design is it's perpetual Siren calling to the dance. Or perhaps a more modern catchy verbiage; like FRITOS you can't just have one.

my indoor shooter. 5.6 fpe, shoot all day on one fill, no pass
thru.....any rat inside 20 yards dies...
The only down side, single shot .But the loading area is huge. even I can load .177 pellets, most of the time.

What type of scope mount are you using there. I recently acquired an FWB 601 and thought it would be awesome with a scope. Thanks,
Kenny

Two of my PP700’s. Top is 25 cal and bottom usually has the 22 cal barrel, occasionally I’ll put in the 177.
25 cal is 20 FPE
22 cal is 14FPE
The 22 cal has over a hundred rodents taken

Where is the line for low power? I suspect that all of mine are low power.
These two are my current favorites, next to my HW30 of course.
1701 with walnut. Shoots 9.2 Supermags just under 490pfs and 7.33 domes 600fps
1720 in 60’s-70’s Elm, currently stock TP shooting the 9.2s 650ish if I remember.
Both sweet little shooters, but the Walther barrels are simply outstanding.

I was thinking sub 12fpe and limited my suggestion to that. I could be mistaken though. I just have that as a ceiling in my head when I think about low power.

What a trifecta…! Reminds of an old blaxploitation movie… Three The Hard Way…I humbly submit the afore mentioned BRK line either a .177-.22 Atomic or Ranger and a .22 Pathfinder as a higher powered big brother.

That’s kinda my thought too. Current power available, 5, 7, 9, 14, 15, 19 and 30 fpe
In the yard the low end gets used, but never seen...

In the UK, yes, but here in America where you can easily buy 30 FPE and up PCPs. Many think of lower power as anything under 20 FPE, now if the Brits are getting it done sub 12 FPE, imagine what can be done with 20 FPE.
My .22 pp700sa killed hundreds of rats, it served me well. Sweet gun.

I was shooting my 25 yard spinners yesterday at 19 fpe. My 40 grain cast wadcutters were traveling a blazing 460 fps and they were making at least 2 revolutions with each hit. My low power guns just make them rock back and forth.

I detuned both of my Umarex Notos by just using a weaker spring.
The first Notos shoots CPHP (14.3 grains) in the 690-710 FPS range for about 50 shots.
The second Notos shoots CPHP in the 460-490 FPS range for about 100-110 shots.
I am sure that I could go even lower with an even weaker hammer spring.
