177 shoots flatter ..if we were allowed more power then i would say .22 ..
but at 12 flb a heavy 177 would be better than a light .22
i'm sure there are people that will argue with this ..but i am a target shooter ,so there
I like closeup pics, me
when using a break barrel springer or multishot i will use both .177 or .22. however the hornet i have now is a single shot and i find it too fiddly trying to load the smaller calibre into the breech, hence the preference @ the moment for .22.
by the way i dont use the rifles i own for anything but hunting, mostly rats at the moment, but rabbits and corvids as time allows.

.22 or .20 like to kill stuff not just leave a hole in it...lol
scotty
"stuff" is just"stuff" but happieness is hard to find!
yes i think the thing is here ,
what you are going to shoot ..
if you are shooting 30 yards or under then they will both be accurate enough ,,but for pest control .22 will give the best kill shots ..but long range targets ..177 is the thing ..
have fun anyway

.177 'cos the pellets are cheaper and I'm a tight bastod.
Well it makes a change from the usual answers dunnit.
Depends on the range you want to shoot and the equipment you are using. Close range or using a rangefinder .22 is better. If you want to push it out to between 25 and 35 yards then .177.
Above that neither will get you clean kills on an acceptable level

Dummy, there's other ways.177 'cos the pellets are cheaper and I'm a tight bastod.

I use .177
The bigger ones take too long to hammer into my barrel.
