Dreamline .22 low power

Grim_Reaper · Sep 17, 2019

i have my first pigeon pest control this weekend. Farmer wants birds gone out of the barn. They poop on the horses and cows. Going to the range to zero the dream pup on low power and lowest hammer setting with jsb 18s. I don’t have a chrony yet so I can’t setup ChairGun. Anyone have an idea the speed I’ll be getting?

Should be right around 550 ft/s for 12 ft/lbs of kinetic energy.

Thank you. Heading there now.

Anyone have experience on which .22cal JSB pellets are accurate at low power, 10-12 FPE? 18.13gr., 15.89gr., 14.35gr.?

At the dairy farm we shoot rats i use the hades (15.89) around 12-14 fpe. Very accurate inside 70-80y.

Rezeroed at ,20 yds and zeroed the new rangefinder. Im debating mounting it on the side instead

of the top. I got 96 shots on low snd min hs. New carm mags work awesome!!! The groups on the right are 14 shots each with the carm mag the one left of the bull is 18 with the fx mag. Thats 5 shots in the bull. I didn't want to mess it up lol.

you should try the 16 gr JSB or Air Arm with the low power setting. Even the Hades as well. The lighter pellet will give you a flatter trajectory than the 18 gr.

my crown shoots the AirArm 16 gr very well.

@grim_reaper, if your shooting ranges are short you can get the job done with less expensive Crosman Premiers... just a thought.

If I was shooting close range in a barn, I would find a flat nose pellet that shot good in your gun. They really smack a pigeon and has less chance of going through a metal roof.

I will check out everyones advice on the pellets. Ill see how it goes this weekend. Then make changes. Not enough testing time before then. Dang work lol

I’ve got the same rifle and I hunt pigeons inside dairy barns as well. I’m shooting Hades and tuned my gun at 765 FPS. Very flat shooting and the Hades drop pigeons in the DRT (Dead Right There) with no pass through. I don’t know why but the power adjuster is very ineffective on my rifle so I had to tune mine with the regulator. I’m running mine at 75 bar with min HS.

First of all I am jealous of your Dreamline Pup. I have one on order and plan to make it my main close range pester. I would stay away from dome pellets for shooting inside barn with tin roofs. They will over penetrate, transfer less energy and do less damage than the flat nose and hollow point pellets. I recently have been doing a lot of indoor pesting for pigeons and starlings inside tin roof buildings. So far the Hades has the least amount of pass through and has excellent knock down power. Here is a chart I did of penetration testing in clay at 28 yards. It bears out my results on birds. Of course always try to have a backstop when taking the shot but the Hades helps to minimize pass throughs. Bill

Well sounds like hades is the way to go. Illl order some. Lots of good info and input. Thank you

At the dairy farm we shoot rats i use the hades (15.89) around 12-14 fpe. Very accurate inside 70-80y.

Good info. I still haven't tried the Hades yet.

Hubertus · Sep 18, 2019

Do the hades open up with this low energy level ?

Bob_O · Sep 18, 2019

My favorite for indoor use is the JSB Exact RS......very light pellet.

AirgunBill · Sep 18, 2019

Do the hades open up with this low energy level ?

If you look at my chart they do indeed open up at lower velocities. By the way I measured the unfired Hades head diameter at .215"'s. Bill
