Quick question with a need for some not so quick answers.

Q? has anyone done a FPS check or chart for the Various Sheridans based on the Caliber and pellet weight and # of pumps?

Examples of what i am trying to find:

.177 (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8) strokes 7.3 Gr = fps = ?

.20 (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8) strokes 11.4 Gr = fps = ?

.22 (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8) strokes 14.1 Gr = fps = ?

yes i am being a bit lazy here because i want to protect my 69 year ol shoulders. So if i can save a bit of multiple pumping sessions it would really help.
@Bear-of-Grayling - you might already know all this?

Three or four pumps is plenty for plinking. Here's what I've compiled with what I have. This gun is a little bit tired. I'm not aware of any that aren't 20 caliber.

Yeah, that confused me as well. (I had to look them up.) He meant Benjamin-Sheridans. I don't consider them to be Sheridans because they're a mash up of Sheridan and Benjamin designs.

Cheers,

Ahhh .... i'm not an airgun aficionado but learning that Benjamin-Sheridans is "a thing" is very cool. To me they are all Sheridans.

It will of course take any humor out of it but my post was an answer to the video about Marshal amp pots going to 11 instead of 10. Bypassing the volume pot altogether will take it past 11.
An 11+ switch.

Other than that, you will have to ask AirNGasman.

My Sheridan .20 was made in 1977 , still accurate still just as powerful @ 8 pumps . (i usually only pump 4 times for 16 yard small spinner targets )

i cut my teeth on a Sheridan .20; but now my entire childhood identity may be at risk as it may have been a Benjamin-Sheridan.
The therapy is going to be long and cost me more than a Blackwolf scoped. o_O

Sheridan - What is a Sheridan? Really

Sheridan started making air rifles in 1947. .20 caliber or also known as 5mm. Started with the “A” model. Then “B” model. Both rare. But the later “C” model is what most recall when talking about a Sheridan. Benjamin bought Sheridan in 1977. They stayed in Racine Wisconsin, and made very minor...

I have withdrawal symptoms too, but mine are not being able to consider any Sheridan newer than the C model of the mid 70's a real Sheridan. I've got to be so careful. 😁
