    Because Canada 🇨🇦 sucks I am stuck with 7.4 in .177 and 14.3 in .22 at 495 fps,but it’s still fun and don’t forget Daisy RR.She’s my favourite plinker…

    VERY! Thorough bro.... I appreciate the information because i needed that one last mathematical equation to put in my mind to figure it all out...What did it was the grain transition chart from 17 to 22 caliber, Now i know what to perspective to use. I extended my barrel on a rifled handgun to increased the velocity to push a heavier grain pellet...I threw a lot of rocks and stones in my day and i would chose them exactly how we choose pellets as far as the result i wanted to achieve lol thanks.

    I am mostly into .177 co2 replica airpistols myself. But it has come very clear throughout the years how different guns and magazine systems use better different style, weight and brands of pellets. My mostly used pellet though probably is the smooth skirted 7gr RWS Club. Never shot a JSB pellet yet - even though they seem to be very used by many airgun enthusiasts. Probably when I get into PCPs..😁
    Thanks again for this informative video!

      .177 cal has a wide variety and types, quite a few are very similar to the .22 cal. .177 cal is more popular with kids and beginners. .22 cal is more popular with adults or hunters.

    I just got a Sig Sauer model 226 and I’ve heard and seen videos saying I need to use good pellets to keep it from jamming. I had some very old Gammo’s left from an air pistol I use to have so I loaded up and shot about 25 pellets. I didn’t have any jamming issues but I did have about 8 of those 25 that stayed in the clip and didn’t fire…so I need to know what brand I should be buying to avoid troubles,,,thanks ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

    The caliber is the diameter by inch decimal. If you're starting with the inch by decimal measurement of the caliber as listed, then multiply by 25.4, you'll find your millimeter size... if you for reason have something listed by millimeter size and need to know your caliber, simply devide the millimeter size by 25.4, and it will equal your inch decimal calliber

Would you rather get hit in the head by a brick travelling at 20mph or a small pebble travelling at 90mph, both have the same amount of force. Both are bad, both hurt.

      Ultimately, trial and error. But you can narrow it down with math. You are aiming for pellets to fly at about 880-950 ideally. Take your guns energy and work backwards (we have calculators online) to find the pellets/weights in the ideal range.

    Personally I have been using a pump style rifle rated for 1200fps at .177cal. I shoot 25, 35, and 45yd groups with the ladder having a target of 3x3in. I find that my particular gun favors the H&N Silver Point on consistency. The power tends to throw the lighter pellets up quite a bit higher forcing me to pump it less and then I worry about penetration. We have gotten a few pests out of the strawberry garden this year, however I still wonder about upgrading to the new gamo swarm. 🤔
