How important is the initial energy dump rt after impact a factor when u shoot for hunting, or gel test for that matter or do prefer a long wound channel .what do folks think ?
N/A Damage from slug energy
- Thread starter mikey fingers
- Start date
I’m sorry to call me a little late. The notice is not a very powerful gun, but it is a very good and accurate again the Commodore like most PCP made by Beeman it’s more of something for people who like to tinker around I own an under labor in 22 caliber and I love it. It’s not super powerful but it’s very tunable it’s pretty good up to 50 yards with the right pallet is also very easy to hang pump only and with most compressors it will only take 4 to 5 minutes to fill up but it last night some love and care to figure out exactly how you like it at the end if you guys wanna shoot by a notice if you really like to spend some time with your rifle by the Beaman

With lower power airguns (under 30 fpe for a 22) I would use simple domed pellets. You may get an occasional pass through but it will not have a lot of velocity/energy. If you are worried about something behind your target what about what happens if you miss and the item gets the full energy? Best only to take shots in a safe direction and the minimal energy left in a pass through will not be an issue.
At this sort of energy level you also need to think about having enough penetration. You will on small game with a domed. Any projectile that expands much may not give you the penetration if the angle is not so great through the animal.
If you had 40 or 50 fpe in a 22, an expanding projectile would give you a bigger hole possibly dropping the animal a bit quicker and any energy in an existing projectile will be significantly less so it should not be a problem. But that is not what you get with the guns you mention.

here’s a .177 akela shooting 24.43fpe with 13gr h&n slugs from 0-74 yards. just under 19fpe at 75 yards. still more energy than a fully pumped crosman 1322 at point blank. i dont think an iguana can walk away from a fully pumped 1322 at point blank range

couldn’t find 24grain .177 slugs in the list of ammo. here is 20 grain h&n going 1000fps muzzle velocity for 44 fpe. i also changed the range step to 5 yards so iti can show farther range

I made this profile as if shot from my uragan2
35y zero
2.756" height over bore
I'm shooting a 20 with a .112 bc. So I gave this a .12

Thanks for the answer, I bought the Beeman Commodore 13625, offered more value to me, 2 magazines, scope (cheap but works), larger shot count, only $211 on Amazon.

Yeah, Beeman
are very good rifles. I have an under labor in 22 and I love it. It just shoots and shoots and shoots. IBeamons are very good rifles. I have a under labor in 22 and I love it. It just shoots and shoots and shoots. I have a set up. For cheap pallets like Crossman all I needed to add was a suppressor. I have more accurate rifles and I have more powerful rifles but for the money, yes can be Beeman
