He is shooting an airams s410 extra, which is the fac version, up to 34ft lbs. Still very impressive though, but agree, cans more usser friendly than bottles.

I'm proud to say that I have shot a stone - roughly the size of a brick - at a lasered and witnessed range of 301 yards with an air rifle. The first couple of shots missed, but kicked up dust in the muddy field, so I could see how to adjust the aim. Once I'd worked out the aim I managed to hit it two or three times in a row before some close misses. The rifle was a regulated prototype, set to 60 fpe and firing Eley Magnums.

i belive you mate. if i talked about the ranges i shoot, people would be outraged jealous etc. also it gets me when people talk about long range shootin with HMR and CF'S and folks are like yeah thats fine thats ok but when someone asks for example whats your max range hmr they say 200m max but we all know what they can out too silly ranges and folks dont say anything like thats bull#### so whats the big deal with air rifles shooting at long distance's
Go on..make my day
used to shoot to 22000 yrds
oh yeh that was a 4.5"

I realise that you're pulling his leg Nick, but I KNOW Lionel is telling the truth as I've hit that same 300 yard stone too with that (Ian Collins' own) rifle shooting from his back garden across the adjacent field in Bedfordshire.Yah boo we don't believe YOOOOOOO! Are you sure the witness didn't have a white stick and a labrador with him?

Yes, it was like hurling mortars (or more precisely, 22LR subs), but it was surprisingly, no, amazingly accurate. I would not have thought it possible for an air rifle, albeit a rather extreme one, to perform like that had I not actually seen it for myself.
Incidentally, the previous poster is correct in his assertion that the speed of sound in air is only linked to temperature.
IIRC, the equation to calculate is:
38.94*Root K = Speed of sound in Kts
Where K = temp in Kelvin.

I am sure I read somewhere its to do with altitude and density, however that isnt my particular "thing" I prefer ballistics, and I dont shoot from mountains anyway

The discussion I am interested in is the one about a S410E shooting bottles at 200yds with no supersonic crack apparent, I just think it is closer than 200yds
