How far will a pellet travel
As above ashuming strong back wind optimum angle of fire and using a sub 12ft lb rifle. Any ideas how far it will go before touch down.
cheers.

I can bounce my .177 across the lake I fish, well over 100 yards

@25 degrees ~450yds at a guess, maybe more (I'm not at my lappy so haven't got Chairgun to hand)
EDIT With a tailwind 600yds?

With no tailwind,
optimum angle of 22 degrees
Terminal energy 0.305 FtLbf
Distance 424 yards.
(With JSB Exacts)
So I wasn't far off.
Interestingly .20 & .22 carry further.

out of interest then, if you were to shoot vertically up, the pellet would eventually stop and fall down, so what would be its terminal velocity?!
i mean i assume it would be the same as if you just dropped it fform a great height!?
always pondered that one, but i dont get out much!

Thats surprised me i would have expected alot less. Can't get my head around .22 traveling further. We used to shoot on council land and they made us section off 200mtr and i thought that would have been enough. live and learn.
