Pistol build

I'd imagine that a bi pod would be the go for a pistol.
Yep 80m is unrealistic for a pistol, was more about fpe drop, but the bc supprised me. I wasn't expecting a same weight pellet to gain that much just on bc.

Shot three 5 shot groups plus a couple of sighters this arvo.

Distance 15m. Accuracy is there.

Not by much though.
Running it out to 80m it's only about 1 to 2ft/lb approx,depending on bc

Jsb hades 15.89gr
632fps = 14.1 ft/lb
Bc of 0.023
6ft/lb at 80m

Jsb exact jumbo 15.89gr
632fps = 14.1 ft/lb
Bc of 0.031
7.5 ft/lb at 80m

Jsb match Diablo exact heavy 18.13gr
580fps = 13.59 ft/lb
Bc of 0.035
8.75ft/lb at 80m.

80m may be a bit to far but I went for the 5fpe approx to kill a rabbit, on worst bc, and who knows what the finished gun with a standard 22xx clip on stock may be capable of.

But it definitely sits well in the range of useful power for hunting.
Being it's a 22xx breach you should pop the barrel off your 362 and see what sort of gains you get.

I shot 3 strings tonight. It's very interesting seeing what the numbers say.
