Thank you for all your time, money spent, and effort. You did an amazing job of breaking everything down and making it easy to see the results. Thank you again from the U.S.
Major effort 👍👍 That was a lot of testing. BC is also my next rabbit hole 😋. Sometimes it's hard to understand what's going on. Weirdly i saw BC increases with just a few FPS more or less. Better harmonics => more stable flight => less dragg?
Dear Sir, i do very much adore Your approach to this very intense view on 'pellet' vs. 'air' and its Cw. (Bernoulliy not out of questi./ transsonic effects). Special Thanks for including .177 in the last vids!
Thank you for this buddy. I have been wondering about the BCs on some of these pellets. God bless you bud. Would love the BCs on the FX 34 grain .25 cal from 900-960 FPS please. That is "IF" you have a .25 cal PCP and "IF" they are allowed in SA. I still have a difficult time trying to figure out why air guns have restrictions in caliber without authorization in SA. If you wouldn't mind sometime please explain how these rules work in your beautiful country. You can use a cannon to take big game but air rifles have to be caliber specific....Yeah...dont understand all that and Matt Dubber, Rolf, or Gerrard never explained airgun caliber restrictions either to my memory sir.
Im in Louisiana and we are restricted to 22 cal. on small game with a airgun . Big game is 30 cal and larger with at least 210 ftlbs. Whats stupid is u can use a 36cal muzzle loader on small game and they can make 400 ftlbs.
Hi Gert, I Really enjoy your videos especially the nerdy stuff! learning a lot! great job. i came across a new bunch of pellets called RIFLE. surprised me quite a bit with their quality and accuracy. had the super magnum in 19.9gr the thunder in 25.3gr and the premium dome in 18.6gr their worth a try when you keen on testing something new. groetness💪
Gives me a good idea of the bc on the 25.4 redesigns. Im pushing them @ 920 out of my fx dreamline lite 500mm. Heavy huma hammer weight and spring, 2 power plenums, and double hole transfer port. High on the port adjuster and 140 on the reg pressure. Good for .500" groups @ 50 yds.
G1 should never be used for pellets, a simple look at the shape of the G1 projectile tells you it is nothing like a pellet. Yes I know some manufacturers use G1 but that just reflects on the manufacturers and how little some of them appear to know about pellet ballistics. For pellets there is GA, GA2, or for wadcutters, WC0. For slugs, particularly those with large hollow point meplats at the front, there is SLG0 or RA4. Boattails can use RA4 up to high speeds or SLG2 which is specifically for boattail airgun slugs. G7 is only really suitable for very long boattail slugs. Getting the correct reference drag law is important if you want to minimize any changes in BC with pellet or slug speed. All of the above drag laws can be found on the MERO ballistic app.
Awesome reply. Sincere thanks. I always use GA for pellets, but a concerned individual took me out because my BC was different then the manufacturer (who used G1)... Bugger the manufacturers, I will use GA. All the best.
How can a chronograph measure BC when it's only taking a single reading at one point? BC is a measure of how much speed is lost over time and distance. Maybe that's why the BC readings don't make sense.
Hi Sir, I am using the the True Ballistice Chrony, it actually takes 4 reading per shot over different distances. Have a look at this video explaning how it works ua-cam.com/video/zUsZ_nYwZWc/v-deo.html
Thank you for the different power levels. Not all of us can shoot 22 that fast.😂You are the pellet test king!

Are you going to do a BC test on the .22 slugs as well?
Name the slugs you ant tested...
.22 H&N .HP 1&2 at 25 grain and 25.39 gr Knock Out Gen 1. Both at 930 - 980 ft/s.
And JTS 25.39 gr pellets at high speed 970 ft/s Thanks
@@AimSmall Zan 25.5, But if you are going to test Slugs BC use faster speeds and correct BC model.
@@AimSmall use 20.2 gr NSA slugs they are very popular.
@@bassmankelly1744 Yes, but they are massively expensive here in South Africa, almost 3x more expensive than expensive slugs.
Pellets - GA
Slugs - G1
Boattails - G7
I was taken out with the 177 testing for using GA, because the manufacturers use G1...

Where can I get my grubby paws on them?
@@AimSmall I found some at our local SSK. but i believe most online air rifle shops also stock them. RIFLE - made in brazil

Hola buen video yo fabrique unos pellets como puedo saber cual es el BC de estos saludos desde Chile
Nice. What chronograph are you using here?
FX True Ballistic

@@AimSmall Got it. You didn't show the chrony setup so I assumed it was a conventional single measuring point.
