AFAIK there isn't one.... Once you go past the 10.3-10.6 gr. range, where there are several great round nose pellets with excellent BCs.... the next one is a Beeman pointed at 11.5 gr (poor BC) and then the H&N Rabbit Magnum.... which although advertised at ~15 gr weighed 16.4 gr for the ones I received....

There seems to be an assumption that a 16gr .177 pellet is for a PCP while a 16gr .22 pellet is regularly used in a springer. They weigh the same, will have the same muzzle velocity and will exert similar loads on the gun ????   Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 9:25 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Quote: They weigh the same, will have the same muzzle velocity and will exert similar loads on the gun ????

I was especially intrigued by the info on pressure on the base of the pellet and its relationship to area. There is so much to learn about these deceptively complex rifles. Fascinating.
