Hey guys, There are alot of air rifles on the market today chamberd for .177 but most people say for more knockdown power go for a .22 cal air rifle. What is the real differnce between a .177 cal pellet and a .22 cal pellet?

The weight.The .177 is 7 1/2gr and I think the .22,s are around 10gr but not sure.Also the .177 doesnt have as much drag so it has range advantage. sam.

Yep - "Light and fast" vs. "Slow and heavy", on a smaller scale.

And the .177's are cheaper, due to less lead and to the fact they are more common.

Years ago I used a pellet gun for vermin control, nothing bigger that a rat or pigeon. The .177 always penetrated better.

If I put BB's in my pellet guns it will ruin them. It would be just like dry firing them. I'm wondering what kind of pellet gun you shoot?
