  • In this video I am testing the difference in penetration and energy dump between wadcutters and dome pellets.
    Hope you enjoy it
    happy shooting!

    Daisy wad-cutters at close range or devastating they have almost like a hollow-point just under the wad cutter

    Funny thing, When I was a small young lad... Somewhere in the 70's wad cutters were all, I had for plinking, pestling... Hunting with pellet guns were not a thing back then for me... not enough power... For a humane kill... Thanks for bring back good memories of my youth... Big C out... 😎

Also, as soon as I'm done with my 2240 build, I'm going to be looking into a Diana Chaser .177 cause of watching your channel...Then may a Beeman QB78 in. .177 wish I would have found your channel sooner...

    Hey man 🤙🏽 I once used 8.1g wcs with an old B1 with a slight power tune and the cheapest Riflescope 4x20. 80% headshots on sparrows (to feed the cats) all day long. 10 to 18m distances. Gun was shooting slow but smooth and true and the impact trauma due to surface area and weight of the pellet was awesome. Felt like shooting an ugly Hw30 lol have fun!!!

      I'm not sure if they still make them but the Gamo Magnum Energy (yellow banner) are the perfect balance between impact and penetration at short distances. Well designed pellet for the job, they just hit different.

    That's interesting and not what I would expect.
    The other day I put a Crosman Destroyer against an RWS pointed alloy.
    The destroyer mangled the water bottle a lot more.
    On a seperate test I couldn't find differences in penetration. But on the water bottle test they both made pass-throughs.

      Yes, the wadcutter really does well to dump it's energy but it does have it's limitations in terms of range, I wouldn't stretch it much further than 20m

      I'm hunting mice with an air rifle that's right on the edge of acceptable power so I'm trying to figure out which pellet is the best.
      I keep going back & forth on domed vs destroyer.
      I may have to do a meat target to make the final decision.

      When they hit they do give more of a thump but due to the low speeds it won't have significant expansion but definitely more than a dome

      B.c in diablo is better so best for longer distances with heavier pellets. Wadcutters dump more energy in shorter distances due to surface area of its head but lose speed much faster over longer distances due to b.c

    • @NoBody-gr6zv
      @NoBody-gr6zv Год назад +1

      Wcs are like hollow points with much less b.c by design but the design also means it is already expanded, if I'm making sense 😜
