I'm shooting Beeman Hollow points out of a Gamo Big Cat 1200.   Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 9:02 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" You need to know the weight of the pellet and its ballistic coefficient to determine it's trajectory and distance- as well as a definitive power output on your specific Big Cat 1200 (there is always variations between guns, even two of the same model produced on the same day on the same assembly line). Once you have this data- you can plug it into a program like "Chairgun": http://www.chairgun.com I'd like to give you a better answer- but I don't have any Gamo Big Cat data in front of me, and the style/weight of the pellet is required to do anything... _________________ ` I'd say "I care."
