I found a package of chicken breast I left thawed too long by a couple days in the fridge.
I was going to toss them in the woods to feed the critters when an idea struck me.
Why not bundle the breasts together with string and see how thick I can get them.
4 inches thick, no bones, perfect test medium for pellets.
I tied them to a piece of cherry wood to hold them up so I could see them well enough to place shots in different locations.
All shots from the new Gamo Whisper at 20 yards, about the range one would shoot small game.
JBS Exact Diablo Heavy at 10.3 grains went through all the meat and stuck in the wood.
Ave. velocity was 746 f.p.s.

Baracuda Heavy Match, 10.7 grains at average vel. of 696 penetrated all meat, stuck in the wood.
Beenman Kodiak (very good pell) extra heavy 10.8 grains t 680 f.p.s. pnetrated all chicky and stuck in the wood.
Beeman Silver Arrows ( nuther good pell) pointed, 10 grains, 740 f.p.s. through all chicken meat and buried in the wood.
All these pells give me very good accuracy from my Shadow and Whisper, all penetrated 4 inches of chicken and dented, buried, or stuck in the wood backstop.
The chicken went into the live trap in an effort to catch the stray Tom prowling around the house.
A few more for chrono data, Air Arms at 7.5 grain gave ave. of 821 f.p.s.
RWS Super Point, pointed (what else) ave. 834 f.p.s. but did not want to shoot better than 2 inchs in my guns.
I finally tried the gold Raptor, the real lightwieght pellet which gave me a 20 yard group of 1.5 inches ave. velocity was 1045 f.p.s. Good speed, poor accuracy which I found to be true in past test I've done.
It seems that in .177 caliber the rifles seem to want to give best accuracy from pellets that weigh near 8 grains and better at 10 grains or more.
You loose velocity but it does not shed velocity fast like the light weights.
Beeman Kodiak pellets are on the heavy side for a .177 rifle but give me my best average accuracy of 1 inch or better at 20 yards.
Actually one inch is barely good enough to my thinking.
3/4 to 1/2 is much better for taking critter headshots.
I hope some of you found this info useful.

good info and findings of the "breast test".

cherry wood is difficult to penetrate, too.

i did similar tests with my RWS 52 and found very similar results with pellet weights: the heavier ones were more accurate.

I'm going to retest the superdomes from RWS, though, as i was out the last two nites using them and found them to be much more accurate than my previous tests with them. i was able to group six of them into a group of less than 0.75" at a measured 18 yards with open sights from a rest; they yield 12 fpe the 10.0-10.5 grain pellets yield 11 fpe...

A Diana 52 producing 12fpe? Even in .177 sounds like something isn't right.

i went over my written notes again and found the 10+ grain pellets at nearly 14 fpe... Embarassed

low? probably but i purchased the RWS Diana 52 brand new in 1989-1990, it was made in 1988 according to the stamp on the reciever, and it has never been opened up... Rolling Eyes

i plan on having it "tuned" in the near future and hopefully the numbers will go up. Mr. Green

WOW Gold, when the WOW priest hangs back, we should furnish with a shield spell, heal

and dispels.

Generally speaking, when the WOW priest hangs back, Buy WOW Gold furnish with a shield spell,

heal and dispels. There have to primary attacking group members with the occasional offensive assist. Many players do not

expect a priest to engage in a lot of direct combat, since they are the best healers. If you have wand and heal and shield,

you are not immediately needed to sell the WOW gold, shooting your wand is a good way to assist doing WOW priest damage

without getting directly involved in the game, it is allowing your mana to recharge at the same time.

It's best to aim at the MT to do your wand damage, because their aggro is Lotro Gold,

which is concentrated damage, rather than spread out the damage, it takes down enemies faster. Depending on group makeup and

skill, dropping a DoT like Shadow Word. At the beginning of the fight makes mana-efficient sense, we sure your group knows

how to hold aggro on all of them, or you'll get a surprise after the first tick of damage. In the group, the WOW priest, as

the primary healer, we should be prepared for use an array of healing spells from the instant cast heal over time.

For the WOW priest, the key to group survivability is WOW Gold sale mana management and the

use of healing in the right situation. There is the better to cast a quick small heal or two followed by a longer heal, than

we hope you win the race casting the larger heal. In term of casting time or mana cost, many WOW priests make use of an

escalating ladder of heals. It's vital that the Priest continuously monitor the health bars of party members, players are

aware of the rate, they are taking damage.

Kaufen WOW Gold may have the most health, but it is taking damage from the entire group

of mobs and requires most of the priest's attention. On the other hand, if the WOW mage ends up drawing the aggro of a mob,

the mage may fall down quickly. The priest's situational awareness is essential to preventing a wipe. It is better to have

everyone in the party; we have finished a fight with only 10% of their health than to lose one or more members.
