The .177 pellet

[RangerPete]

Pete and you guys FYI
Get your back stop set up with cardboard I like to use some white paper, put a 4x4 or a brick about one foot in front of paper make sure height is about 1/2 of the paper or even lower , Place a large egg on the 4x4 or brick back up and shoot the egg and it will splatter all over the paper, Now wait for the flys, A hot egg works better than a cold one..
Oh remove the brick or 4x4 , Works great for me. I do have a horse pen about 30 yards off so that helps.

Don’t have the horses, but I’m going to give it a try, thanks

Ok, that's it.
I was wavering, doubting — but thoroughly reading this thread clarified it for me. Thanks, my friends.


I'm buying a .30cal PCP.
With at least 100FPE.

Even I as a non-American have finally understood that:
Bigger IS really Better.



For me anyways. In my current location. With my type of shooting.

Matthias,
Don't fall down the .30 rabbit hole.
It's expensive and mediocre. A mugs/thugs calibre. High power hooligans work.
My RTI .30 barrel hardly gets used, I prefer to master the .177 calibre, it surprises people.
Actually it surprises many people, especially the bigger calibre guys.
Go do one of your superb fact, summary essays, this time look at the financial economics of .177.

Ahhh, I hear you say .
Most days I can beat my buddy at 100m.
My .177 against his Sako 90 308 win.
A 10 cent shot v a 2.5 dollar shot.

Not that I'm a better shot than anyone I know, far from it.
My choice just let's me practice more.

Good luck
