    Setting aside the issues with the rifle's preffered pellets, (which will almost certainly be the 8.44g btw) the whole point of .177 is it's flat trajectory. Why comprimise it with a heavy pellet?

    Mmmmmmm... I disagree tinny I think you need to use as heavier .177 pellets as possible so you can get used to the trajectory so when you realise your being a fool & change to a .20 or .22 the transition will be smoother

    Why use 8.44 when you can go 7.9. They target shoot better for me if paper...they drop better longer if it blinks and maximise pellet traj too.

    No brainer for me. I dont really see any advantage in heavies unless its got FAC type air up its arse.
    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
