Hi all.,
I am looking to buy a new WEIHRAUCH HW95K in the next couple of weeks, should i go for a .22 or .177?
Is there much in it for hunting/targets?
Thanks in advance for any replies/help.
Regards BLACKBIRD-1897

Aah... The 'BIG' question amongst airgunners.
.177 - Faster, flatter trajectory - Useful if you only have 12 ftlbs to play with.
.22 - Slower, loopier trajectory and some would argue less likely to 'shoot through' live quarry.
.177 is more forgiving, and a pellet to the brain is deadly in both cals. I'd go for the .177.

i am a big 22 fan,however unless you do a lot of close up feral pigeon work i would go with a 177,as the trajectory is more forgiving

Typically 177 pellets are cheaper to shoot also and there seems to be a better selection of those pellets although it's been a while since I needed to buy 177 ammo.
