I have a RAW HM1000X- MPA MATRIX in .22 caliber tuned to toss JTS 22.07 grain diabolos at just under 50 FPE.
On a gusty day with a head wind at the bench, a push left out to about 30 yards, and a push right out to the target distance of 50 yards, I was not scoring well at all.
So I, for laughs, tried the Crosman 14.3 grain hollow points.
They went supersonic with quite the bark and were hitting at my POA. Scores went up.
So ...... when you, absolutely, positively, have to get it there NOW........ hit the afterburners and hope the pellet stays intact!

I bet that first supersonic shot threw ya for a loop! I have a RAW HMx .22 and I have mine detuned to shoot 18gr @ 970, NSA 17.5gr @ 950fps, more cost effective to shoot lighter ammo!
