So, the key ranges for testing will be at 10, 20, 32 and 40 metres. The trajectory curve really
confirms what common sense would tell you, that is, the effective hunting range is out to 40 metres,
with 10 to 32 metres being the prime distance for hunting. Further confirmation of that is in the pellet
energy table, as follows, which shows how the 14.2 ft-lbs energy at muzzle velocity drops below 11
ft-lbs at about the 40 metre mark.
On a calm day, with the rifle and scope shooting really well, you might push out towards 50 metres,
but that is pushing it and the pellet drop rapidly becomes pronounced.
