    .177 for me .Hunting as it is more forgiven if you have the range slightly out but still in your PBR
    I often have to thread a pellet through gaps in branches and twigs and is much easier with the less curved trajectory of the .177 .
    But this isn’t a calibre debate , is it !!

    Nowt to do with pest control as I just 'plinked'. All those years ago I chose .177 because they were cheaper.

    Similar story I chose my first air rifle when I was about 10.

    Didn't know anything about them I just chose .177 because it was faster than .22 in the specs.

    I didn't choose, .22 chose me. Back then when I started it was springers only & every rifle I shot was .22 nowadays I shoot either by prefer my comfortable old friend.
