now to solve the debate of which calbre to use. well if your rifle has a barrel with a bore of 220 thou of an inch, i would suggest you use .22, if however yours has a bore of 177 thou of an inch .177 would be of more use.

If your rifle has a barrel with a bore of 220 thou of an inch,then use pellets with a diameter of 177 thou of an inch, there will be less friction losses.

Re: .177 vs .22 debate solved by yours truly
I shoot .22 mainly because I can pick the pellets up easier!
Re: .177 vs .22 debate solved by yours truly
