If you go to daisy.com, click on the 880, then go to specs it says 661 fps with a pellet.
Well that is not what mine shoots, and mine is a new one. Also in the manual (download the PDF and look) ... |

| Daisy lists the specs on the 880 as 750fps, and up until the last couple years, Daisy was pretty good about publishing accurate numbers. That being said, the last 2 years or so, they have been "e ... |

@oddtodd:
And you keep saying "it is a daisy", as if that is bad. The 880 is an adult hunting MSP. |

But come on, 661 f.p.s. out of a 7.9 grain pellet?
What is wrong with your 880? Try 706FPS with a 7.9 grain =8.7FPE. Though with Winchester 9.68 grain pointed pellets we are talking about 668 ... |

| I believe the "rule" is typically 1fpe per pound of game. If the 880 can get to 9fpe, theoretically it should be able to take down a rabbit- but that is dependent of if it's still retaining ... |

I've probably been doing this a lot longer than you have, and I definitely know more about airguns.

I would imagine that that pellet is heavy enough in that gun. Have you chronied it?
Also it is usually best to try many many pellets to see what the gun likes best. Each gun will be a bit diff ... |

Interesting thread.
It is definitely best to stay way subsonic. It is not only the shock of nearing sonic speeds that effect pellets, there are a few other variables.
And if you are hunting you ... |
