Just for fun, who can answer the drop of an R7 at 100 yards? February 5 2012 at 11:07 PM		Ray (Login Ray280) YF


The hypothetical question is what would be the drop of a JSB Match Diabolo Exact .177 Cal, 8.4 Grain at 100 yards out of an R7? Say 650 fps. Even if it could not pop a balloon, just curious of what the drop would be if the R7 is sighted for 10 meters. The point of this is to see if there would be any comparison in the ballpark of a .308 at 1000 yards (proportionately scaled ratio). Besides the math answer, has anyone ever tried it?
