We all know that we have been told that heaver pellets will damage your rifle, But why when you do the math on a rifle like the 2 barrel Beeman ( 177 & 22 cal) Say we use a set of numbers like 900 fps with a 7.9 gr. (177 cal )pellet you get 14.21 ft. lbs of energy and the same ft. lbs energy of 14.21 using 14.3 gr. ( 22cal) pellets you get a fps of 668. now why if you were to use a 14.3 gr pellet in a 177 cal ( if you could get them )why would it hurt your rifle since the energy is the same and if you change the barrel you don't change the transfer port or do any thing else . I don't see how it will hurt your rifle You are only changing the pellet weight the fps changes when you do this automatically .howie |
