Pellet speed

Wed Feb 28, 2018 3:19 am

I do not own a chrony, could someone give me an estimate of the FPS of an air Arms .177 diablo 8.4 grain pellet shot out of a new, stock, U.S. tx200 mk3. Thanks. It shot 995 FPS with diablo basic 7.0 grain pellets at pyramid air when it was purchased

Are you sure it was 7.0gr? it's not a weight I recognize - 7.90gr is common.
7.0gr at 995fps is 15.39ft lbs.
At the same energy 8.44gr will be 906fps.
In a springer, heavier pellets are normally a little less efficient so you are probably going to get a little under 900fps.

With the 8.4 grain Exacts, I've seen U.S. FAC spec guns as high as 960, but I would say 920-940 is more typical.

chairgun is a useful tool, but you really need to work your own BC value out, as the ones quoted in the database are an average.
