Nice shooting Bubbles. I sold my .177 TM1000 last year and have been regretting it ever since...
I’d say keep the RAW. Don’t get caught up in all this “flat shooting” BS. If you’re zero’d at 50 yards with the 50.1 JSB, your drop is about 13 inches at 100 yards. If you get a gun shooting the 44.75 JSBs at 950 FPS, your drop is 11 inches. Not really worth it now is it?
I’ve been saying in here for years now that shooters get all excited about “flat shooters” when the reality is that no pellets shoot flat. And if you go higher than 950 FPS, you incur degraded wind performance, which is a proven FACT. If you’re going to shoot slugs at much greater distances it’s a different calculus...
