ballistic calculators

by (Login liz873)

Just a thought when inputing info for gamo raptor pellets using a ballistic calculator to find ftlbs will the reading be accurate? I ask because are'nt these calculators set up with the thinking that all pellets are made with lead? A 22 cal raptor pellet is almost identical in size to a cp of the same cal, but weighs approx, 4g less. The ballistic calculator reads that a 7.9 .117 copperhead pellet at 800fps has an energy of 11.2 ftlbs. A 9.8 .22 raptor pellet at 800 fps has an energy of 13.9 ftlbs. A 14.3g .22 cp pellet at 800fps has an energy of 19.9 ftlbs. I will put it to the test comparing penetration and using a chrony. I believe the raptor pellets will have significantly more penetration and a bigger wound channel as compared to the .177 of similiar weight traveling at the same velocity. I believe the actual energy would be between 13.9 ftlbs and 19.9 ftlbs.
