Do you guys know anything about this one? Looking to do some hunting and targeting.   Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 12:39 am rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Read all about it here, with an actual test: http://www.straightshooters.com/beeman/r7doublegold.html Click on the "Our Take" link to see what the gun the tested did in the real world.... I've never had one, but with Weirauch quality (it's their HW30S) I don't see how you could go wrong....

Well what do you think for a little bigger game like squirrels or a lil bigger?   Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 1:19 am sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho as bob's link said. 7fpe. the minimum for squirrel is 6 fpe. rodents will drop with 2-3 fpe. i think your search is ending scrap. i read on my other forum a guy did bag a huge rat with a .20 r-7 with a 10 grain pellet at 600 fps at 23 yards. then again. all i kill are rodents. whether 3 fpe or 30 fpe. dead is dead. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 1:22 am sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho it's a very good gun for redneck can execution. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 1:25 am rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Here is a link to an article about minimum FPE for various small game written by Robert Beeman himself: http://www.beemans.net/field%20use.htm I don't think anyone can dispute that these are acceptable MINIMUM energy requirements for a clean kill with good shot placement.... With a decent round-nose 7.9 gr pellet (BC = 0.20) starting out at 650 fps, you will have about 7.4 FPE at the muzzle and about 5 FPE remaining at 30 yards.... If you zero at about 26 yards, the trajectory will be within 1/4" above and below the line of sight (called the point blank range or zone) from 9 yards to 29 yards.... almost exactly matching the maximum range for 5 FPE energy retention.... Therefore, figure that as your maximum range for any game up to a rat or rabbit (but not a jackrabbit) according to Dr. Beeman.... Another way of looking at MINIMUM energy for a clean kill is 1 FPE per pound of body weight.... Again, this assumes a perfect shot....
