Hey, all. Im unsure if the title will coincide with what I’m looking for, so forgive me if I worded the title incorrectly.
Id like to know, if somewhere someone, wether a student of this pcp hobby, or a manufacturer, has ever come up with a chart of say, a 25 caliber 28.40 grain Barracuda Hunter Extreme, that’ll say its best performance is at this xxx max velocity. I know heavier pellets hold their own well enough, hence slugs, and I know high speeds like 1200 FPS in a 177 break barrel is mostly marketing strategy, and even if it went that fast the groups would look like a shotgun pattern. I know that. But has anyone seen a chart that’ll tell you a 30 caliber 44.75 grain JSB is most accurate in velocities of 840-880, as an example. There must be something out there, which is why most manufacturers stay within a certain velocity to meet accuracy, shot count, and energy levels. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong in that statement, please.
As an entry level tuner apprentice, it would be nice to see something like this “chart” so I don’t waste time, Air, and pellets trying to accomplish something that’ll never be. Why waste time trying to get that Barracuda extreme hunter pellet at speeds of 960 FPS, when it was designed for a max velocity of 880 FPS.
Lastly, I also understand all pellets will shoot differently in different guns, it’s the “rule of thumb” that I seek, when picking a max velocity that a pellet can shoot, without getting all squirly.
Thank you, and am looking forward to the input.
