Is there a chart somewhere that lists the optimum velocity for various pellet weights and calibers?

Maybe let us know what pellets you are using and what type of rifle. Those with similar set-ups can give you a place to start. From there it will require you to test each pellet/ velocity combo to get your desired results. I can tell you that as a general guide that JSB lead, domed pellets will typically work well in the 885-910 fps range. That has been my experience across multiple air rifles in .177, .22 and .25.Is there a chart somewhere that lists the optimum velocity for various pellet weights and calibers?
It's the diabolo shape that is speed sensitive. 850 is kinda universally agreed to be a common sweet spot, some guns will shoot them accurately past 900. Start at 850 and see where you can go.Is there a chart somewhere that lists the optimum velocity for various pellet weights and calibers?
Lead fouling starts above 950 fps. Consider lubing your pellets.If that's the case, I guess I'm running a little hot. I don't think I will change anything though. For me, that's a damn good group for a gun with a 5lb trigger!
