What's the heaviest you'd shoot in a Nitro Venom? Wondering where I should look weight wise. I have been shooting H&N Greens at about 12.5 grains. I see copper coated pellets at 21 grains - is this too much for this gun?

The NVD I had shot the CPHP very well. That's 14.3 or so?
I'd think alot heavier pellet would only be good at a shorter range.
I shot the Gamo 15.43 and though accurate? The arc was enuff to tell me to stop useing them.

I tried five shots each of JSB Jumbo 15.89 and Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr out of my NV and found they shot 2 inches high and right but decent groups next to each other. Gun was zeroed with 14.66 H&N FTT.

Heavier pellets will lead to spring death unless you have a gas ram gun....
Most suggest 13~16 grains for spring guns anything above that should be left for the PCP guys....

I have shot 21 gr. barracuda's through mine, but not alot of them.
I had to use "alot" of holdover at longer ranges with them, so I went back to 14.3 gr.
I think it shot the 21 gr's at either 660 or 680 fps.
With the 14.3's is right around 740 to 750 fps.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
