I have to give Andy big props. As an engineer myself, I can see that there are only a handful of guys on YT who do good tests and provide good solid, scientific information, ---and Andy is right up there with the best.
"Let see how many full beer cans this pellet will go through", will never be one of Andy's vids. :) Kudos sir.

Thanks for all the great advice Andy. I am currently going to purchase a bullpup air rifle for target work, and as we live rurally, a spot of pest control, and your advice and suggestions have gone a long way to help with my decision making. As an aside, I am currently fighting cancer, and the time I have passed listening to your dulcet tones as I fight on. Keep up the good work my mate, and thank you for helping the hours go by with great information, and advice. Take care, and stay safe, Quo

Elma Keith ( father of the .44 Mag) was asked " what is the best calibre?" He replied " The one you can hit things with " reply " what ? " Keith said " a . 177 air rifle pellet in the brain is more life threatening than a .50 Browning in the foot, It's where the hole is that's important, not the calibre ".

It took me until the 16 minute mark to realize that’s not a window behind him. I’m impressed with the drop cloth background. Nice touch. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Cheers.

Excellent presentation. Old adage: If you don't hit them in the right place, it matters little what caliber you use. If you do hit them in the right place, it matters even less.

As a retired math/computer teacher I very much appreciate your statistical presentation. Thanks for all the work you have been willing to invest to get these results!

[kennethmidwinter]

Sir, having been a operational police officer operating with Beretta 92F’s and MP5, s…… all 9mm…..this video is brilliant. You have explained ballistics so well.
Once again so accurate. Kind regards Ken. Hats off, as they used to say.

Interesting information and thank you. Having been a huge fan of Air rifles and pistols since 10 years old, when my Dad bought for me as a Christmas present a Diana 177 rifle. Since then and over the last 54 years, I've owned many Rifles and some highly collectable ones too, BSA Centenary and Stutzen being some of my favorites classics. The reason all of the above is mentioned is because I found over the years, that the 177 cal pellet, across all of my sub 12ftlbs guns was more accurate, carried the velocity and did the job the other end, so I agree with all Andy has said. 👍

[notavailable]

In my opinion... both haha. I’ve taken small game to racoon and groundhog easily with one shot kills with both 177 and 22. It’s all about shot placement. With airguns i find it best to put a round through the brain. Airguns are definitely overlooked and mocked by powder burner shooters. I think airguns are actually a better way to hunt small game and pests. Sure power and less down range energy than a rim fire. But I find it more fun and much safer hunting with an airgun. Just my opinion.

Brilliant stuff Andy, the best presentation of this discussion I've either seen or read.

[simonjohnmeredith]

An in depth and measured explanation that’s been so lacking on this emotive subject, lol. Top work Andy, thank you. 👍🏼 (for the record, I’m reassured that my .22 coupled with an effective scope is up to the job) At the end of the day it’s all about personal preference, there is no right or wrong answer, so long as you’re aware of the subtle differences.

[colinsmith]

A lot of work clearly went into making this, much appreciated.

[chrisnurczyk]

Looking at this from the "other side of the pond" - though we can use 20 ft. lb. guns where I live, this info is still very valuable, giving me much food for thought. I haven't shot for years, and am just getting started (w/springers - I'll get it down yet), and I must say Andy's videos are some of the most valuable I've seen. Thanks, Andy, for cutting through the nonsense and offering sensible advice - and it's also pleasant to have it delivered by such an agreeable gentleman.

[darrencady]

Thanks Andy for another great presentation. For me its .22 (JSB Exact) at 13.43 grains. I get 619 to 625 fps on average and they are accurate-ish out to about 40 yards beyond which the groups open up. At this range the pellet can still pass straight through a tin can which is power enough from my 1987 HW35 Export!

[Beesa]

I have both .177 and .22 but I do prefer .22 on the whole, the first airguns I practiced with were .22, larger pellets are a little bit easier to handle, holes in targets are a bit easier to see, the transfer of energy to the pellet is more efficient, slightly less muzzle report and .22 just 'thumps' a bit harder. I understand a flatter trajectory is better for accuracy at different distances but for shooting the occasional rat in my garden the distance isn't an issue as they appear under the bird feeder or by the shed.

Well I have to say, i’m just getting back into golf and have watched a few channels, mainly northern as it’s turned out, but I’ve fond yours, instructional and inspiring from the off, you’ve explained the approach and reasons, along with tips along the way, for not to get stressed and enjoy the course and golf. Excellent and now a subscribed ex Northerner of Butcher and GMC Fire service. Thanks!

[rogerarcher]

Just been inspired by the vid. Blue the dust off my 45-year weihrauch. Then realised the gun has stood the test of time but my eyesight hasn't.

[dangeraghty]

Andy, your presentations and personality are outstanding. Thanks for all the great videos and education you've bestowed upon me.
