    Well, with these light-middle weight springers & rammers, running at USA power levels with diablo pellets - I reckon they're likely to shoot more predictably in .22 at subsonic velocity, rather than supersonic .177s

    I was watching Ted's Holdover and he was shooting a .177 Hw100 at 22ftlbs and on his slow mo cam you could see the pellets spiral too many fps .22 would have been ok at that power or more
    A few nice rifles

    I've got 3 springers in .177 that are 100yrd shooters, a Diana 54, Diana 350 & my favorite springer, my LGV. The most accurate one is the old T01 54. It shoots CP 10.5s @ 950 with NO recoil. On a perfect windless day when I'm on my game it prints 2-3in 5 shot groups. I have no doubt the rifle is capable of much more in better hands.
