penetration test - wax blocks with .22 caliber pellets

Shooting into wax blocks to test the penetration abilities of various .22 caliber pellets. NOTE: Some spinning pellets transfer their angular momentum to the wax blocks better than others. All shots were made from my Walther Talon Magnum @ point blank range.

Here are the results:

Skenco Hyper-velocity Field Pellets~~~~~~~1
Crossman Pointed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2
JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy ~~~~3
Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy ~~~~~~~~~~~~4

Predator Polymag~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~10
JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo RS~~~~~~11
EUNJIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~12

What was the estimated energy of those pellets (in fpe) ?

[K9Capital]

@MrMatthewliver I'm sorry, I'm only able to calculate (horsepower  watts) per joule.

What scope do you have on the walther talon magnum ? I need a good scope for my crosman titan gp 22 cal airrifle. My gun broke 2 scope and a bushnell trs 25 is made foe shot gun and rifle. The red dot only last 1000 shot and broke:(

[K9Capital]

@Teamwolf7777 I have a Centerpoint 4-16 scope on my rifle. It still works well after about 1000 rounds.

how do you find those premier hollow points fit in your gun? they seem really snug in my barell, and when i find them after shooting (if i am lucky enough to find one) and they arent destroyed the sides are sheared off, im worried it might damage my barell, i just bought some Daisy hollow points and they fit much nicer

[K9Capital]

@nacholibre888 No problems with the Premier Hollow Points. I clean my barrel every hundred rounds, so that might be the difference.

@emma07091 My walther falcon hunter in .22 will blow a hole in a nickel with alloy pellets.

@Teamwolf7777 Air rifles eat scopes made for firearms as the recoil back and forth.Get a AIRGUN rated scope.

@starionboi with a 10.19 grain pellet

[starionboi]

it will be shooting 1400 to 1700 fps.

If the pellet goes through more wax means its a no go for hunting. but good for penetration, for the ones with less wax penetration is good for hunting. Beeman Kodiak Double Gold is far thee best ive used. instead of the lead pellets with molding lines these have a extra coating of copper witch smooths them out for good accurate shooting and hunting in my books, of shooting pellet guns. as of right now my gun is apart and i sent the spring off to add an extra 40% draw weight instead of 1000 fps

@Teamwolf7777 Try investing in a hawke scope... pretty penny but oh so worth ever bit of it..

[emma07091]

I have the 177 cal. It will Blow a hole right through a Quarter with a 10.5 grain pellet. (Gamo rockits). Will the 22.cal . do that? The Gamo Socom Extrem shure cant. lol
