So, it looks like I might change over to Baracuda pellets, but I wanted the flat trajectory, so will have to up the power from 30ft/lb to 40ft/lb.
You dont need 40ftlb so throw that out of the window, trust me been there done it. 32-34ftlb with a 21.3 bis mag will give you the best groups out at 70yds with serous knock down power, any more and accuracy will suffer unless you move over to bullit heads but then you have to get the probe sorted out, bullits are also expensive to buy and for what? what are you gonna do that a bis mag running at around 830-850 fps aint ...... nothing, shooting out to the max on FAC air 80yds and a 33ftlb rapid with a bis mag still blows a hole through the bunnies bonc so, and a much better air economy and less stress on the rifle.
