Back garden plinker

Does .177 or .22 make much difference re noise? Was thinking .22 needs less air etc.
As for targets, have knocked up a box with plumbers mate behind the target which catches the pellet silently.

Plumbers mait putty is good to use as a target. Just use bottle tops to print into the putty different size rings. Pick out shot pellets, and smooth out putty again. ATB. Pete.

Some of the co2 type guns can be a little noisy

A Webley Alecto is reasonable second hand. Depending on your neighbours worries about noise, as it makes a good crack on 3 pumps. I went for one to avoid c02 costs, and I can hit spent shotgun shells from across the garden on a good day. You can always get a later one with a threaded barrel for a silencer if noise is an issue.
