I know what you mean mate, ive got a .22 LR nd a 17 HMR which i use for vermin control mainly, ive got SAK mods on both of them, good guns for vermin control

@RocketScientist79 yh we only take the rimfires to a specific area where we have permission, its about 7 acres and is not a live stock pasture, it backs onto a 20ft high steep grass bank so the 22 wont ricochet. using wildcat suppressors on both to moderate the sound as much as possible and the range of a hmr over 22lr makes good use of the space. tbh i probly know more about rimfires than i do about air guns haha but its the limit of places to use it that made me get an air rifle.

[RocketScientist79]

@Baynham3 Yes indeed, however .22lr vs .17HMR are also a different ballgame again. A .17Hmr needs a bigger Weapon Danger Area (Land size) than a .22lr because it has much more energy. I.e. several sound barriers worth faster out of the muzzle but lighter. However the Fuzz FEO's often prefer the .17HMR because they smash on impact rather than ricochet. You have Pm about this...

@RocketScientist79 my hold over estimate is usually pretty good, but the flatter trajectory of the 177 appeals to me, probably for the same reason i chose my borthers 17hmr over his 22lr when i go hunting with him (cba getting my own firearms license ^_^)

[RocketScientist79]

@Baynham3 In that case I can only suggest keep practicing the reloading. Sure it is hard to reload a break barrel sat lying flat on the deck, as it requires you to lie on your side, snap downwards and quickly insert pellet and then close the barrel all without getting grit and muck into the mechanism. However most of us have learnt on the Break Barrell or even worse the gate loader, Hw77/97 Tx200, Webley Tracker types. It does focus the mind knowing that it takes a good 10-20 seconds!

[RocketScientist79]

@Baynham3 Well once again a matter of personal opinion and practice practice practice really. If you have a mate who has a .177 12 ft/lbs weapon then try benchresting at a few targets at 20, 30 and 40 yds+ in STILL AIR using the same pellets, preferably same rifles (to make the test standardised). I have had 50 yds rabbit in .177 on a still day benchresting, but as with all airgunning you must be sure of accurately hitting the head. If you are a good judge of "hold over" then why change??

[Baynham3]

@RocketScientist79 yes iv used that bsa, very good gun but i wasnt over fussed on the styling, but its not the multishot im concerned about its the breaking of the barrel/ underlever becomes a hindrance

[RocketScientist79]

@Baynham3 Sure yes you are right, but consider it like trying to shoot game with a ye olde black powder weapon of old. I.e. you only get one shot to get your dinner. Now if you consider this fact every time you shoot, it focusses the mind somewhat. I remember BSA did a multishot indexing underlever called a superstar (Correct me if wrong) and they are very very collectable and very very accurate.

[Baynham3]

@RocketScientist79 im learning a lot from you here :) and just wondering, as iv not had much time with a .177, is there a considerable accuracy difference between the two? and in your opinion what would be a better calibre for rabbit at the maximum effective range of each? also i find it enlightening to have someone help me over youtube instead of the usual abuse i get when im uncertain about something :)

[RocketScientist79]

@RocketScientist79 cont..... as grey "rattus arboretus" (Scirius Carolensis in reality!) are tough little critters, bunnies however are generally dead with any headshot IMHO. If you are good with a .22 then why change if happy with it. Horses for courses really.
