i have a gamo whisper pellet rifle. ive sighted it in at about 30-40ft but when i go to shoot a varmint at about 40yards it wont hit its target. also i use the polymer tipped hunting pellets, i love them. but i was wondering if there is any better pellet u an get that will really knock a squirrel down at about 50yards. thank you very much!
its .177 al
im also useing high power scope

I just got a Gamo Varmint Hunter and i found that wadcutter pellets are way more accurate than any of the hunting pellets that i have tried ( Gamo rounded, Gamo magnum, Gamo master point, Gamo red fire, and Beeman hollow points) I was just wondering if the benefits of the hunting pellets are enough to make up for the loss of accuracy for squirell hunting and shooting black birds

The gun is a sidelever .22 that screws apart into two pieces and stores in a suitcase. it has a leapers 4 x 40 red mil dot scope. i used to have a pellet gun that fired 900 fps in .22 that took out everything in my yard. i am concerned that this gun will obviously not live up to the expectations but i was told my other gun had inflated fps with light pellets.i bought more than 50 dollars worth of the most devastating hunting pellets on the market from predators to rws hollow points. i want this gun to be able to shoot faster than 500 fps..money isnt an object

heres the gun and for the record i know not all chinese guns are good but my last one was and it wrecked shit…

The other night I shot a opossum in the chest area with a .22 cal Predator Polymag air rifle pellet… It dropped like a rock(fell over on it’s side). It seemed to have died instantly… I know head shots are quick but I think the pellet struck his heart or something because it just stopped moving,as compared to when I shot 3 pellets into the head of a opossum I got before this one… The head shot opossum before this last one I just got in the chest,fliped around like a gator doing a death role once I made contact with it’s brain… A real violent head shot death… Crazier than any other head shot experience ever… Dirt was flying everywhere… What are factors involved when figuring out which type of shot is best for that certain animal…. Heart shot or head shot???? P.S. I can make difficult shots from far out,using most guns. AR’s to pellet guns… My accuracy is on point to hit um wherever seems best…. Oh yeah just for your information: Buy a pellet gun and practice shooting inside/outside at home. It truly is great practice for when you go shooting or hunting for reals. The Daisy Powerline is an excellent air rifle with great accuracy for only .95 at Walmart. It comes with a cheesy scope but it still works great and will keep you on point just like me… Thanks for the advice and extra details in your answer…. Tim

If I am going coyote hunting it would be with a airgun crosman phantom and that has 17 foot lbs with 7.9 gram pellets so ya

I want to do some hunting with my winchester pellet rifle. However I need very good pellets so the small game will die on contact, i don’t want to hurt an animal and let it suffer in pain i want to make sure it dies. I used predator polymag pellets because they looked very sharp but when i got the them the sharp tip was too soft and often fell off. I need a very strong pellet, i’m thinking i need a sharp steel tip.

anyone else guns? pellets? etc.?
i own 6 rifles

rifles:
crosman tac 1 extreme
beeman rs2 .22
gamo hunter extreme .22
