Rti Prophet Mk1-Mk2 are here yet, but this is not the main problem. I love and use exclusively .177 (for now) due to some stupid laws (Italy, max power without license is 5fpe, moderator only on .177 not FAC, not allowed for other calibers). I have a deep modified RTI Prophet Performance MK1. The main issue is that .177 is an extremely sensitive and lunatic caliber. 3b on the reg can mean 20fps less or more. For the same reason (power horse gun, small ammos with light weight) tuning is not so easy. But it is an extremely underrated caliber for 15-120y. With appropriate slugs and barrel, maybe 150-170y will become the new "normal" limitsIn time to come a 23-25grain slug in .177cal isn`t unrealistic. The powers are going up as the airgun technology is becomming more developed. Maybe in 5 years time an airgun in .177 doing 50 ft/ibs with a 25grain slug from a factory platform is available?.
