requoil wrote:You can increase the power but keep the pellets at sub sonic (quiet) levels by using a stronger hammer spring combined with a heavy weight pellet such as these 15.74 grain 177 pellets http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H-N-RABBIT-MAGNUM ... 2a043f4589 not only can higher power levels be achieved without going super sonic, these pellets should be more stable than waisted pellets above Mach1 due to their bullet shape ogive. Heavy 177 pellets retain more of their start energy downrange than light weight pellets, but there is no point in retaining a greater residual power downrange unless you are still hitting the target, you must find what is accurate in your airgun. At the end of the day accuracy trumps power every time.
Are you shooting at paper targets or vermin?
Incidentally, keeping everything on your pcp the same, but changing the barrel, mag, and loading probe to 22 instead of your 177 will increase the power even though the velocity will drop.
p.s. I am not recommending the above brand of pellets, I have never tried them myself.
requoil wrote:Hi again, I use also Bisley mags which I think are the same thing as the H&N Barracuda's. If power is very important I think 22 has got to be your choice, there is not such a wide choice or availability of 25 pellets, and if you are limited to say the UK 12 ft/lb limit then I would recommend 177 every time, flatter trajectory, good choice of pellets which are often cheaper than the 22 equivalent.
Safe shooting friend.

I have a Gunpower Storm and therefore use the Talon site, I have been reading recent posts on there about how easy it is to go supersonic, BUT, how impossible it is to do this and retain any degree of accuracy.
