@cosmic Dunno what you’ve seen, read, or are looking for, but there’s some info out there. Look up some threads and posts by @gendoc. I believe @Cheplicki has hunted with one as well.

What do you want to know? Or do you want some? For some reason i get WAY more energy from them than i do with 21gr .178 slugs.
I can shoot 21gr wildmans at 880, meanwhile i shoot the 20.99gr piledriver at 930fps, thats 40.3 foot pounds from a .177
from my unchoked 600mm CZ barrel they're pretty damn accurate. Maybe 1/2 at 50, 3/4" at 70
edit: Over penetration is thy name. they hit hard, but they do not stop.

@RoosterCogburn I think there’s been some confusion here. Look at the title. the OP’s talking about a big bore air rifle capable of 700+ FPE. It sounds as if you’re talking about a small-bore projectile. The numbers quoted above don’t add up.

I'm there with ya but I have a 30cal Texan with mods. I just wanted to see what it was capable of. I have since dialed it back down 990 fps with 150gr. Oh 700 fpe for the. 457, I can get 468 fpe.

right out of the box the .457 piledriver i deer hunt with using my cast and sized 405gr RNFP will produce 720FPE
and has been doing it for the past 3 seasons.
i hunt off the ground and from blinds, usually within 30yrds are my shots.
very accurate and reliable.
