with everything else being equal, what is the best 100 yard caliber?
upthehill:
thanks Bob, that's that's the kind of 2nd paragraph I was looking for ;)
I had forgotten about the .257 and need to look into it more
and 30 shots isn't a deal breaker, it's just nice to be lazy about not loading every time.
Thanks, Dave

Do you mean those different calibers on the same powerplant?.... or do you mean using the best possible bullet in that caliber at the optimum velocity for shooting at 100 yards, with no regard to the air pressure or barrel length necessary to achieve that?.... Or some other criteria?.... Without knowing the parameters of your question, it is impossible to give a proper answer....
If you restricted it to 24" barrels using 3000 psi, and bullets, my answer would be .224 cal.... If it was commercially available diabolo (waisted) pellets only (same barrel and pressure restrictions) I would answer .30 cal.... Change to a 36" barrel and 4500 psi of air, I would answer .257 cal.... Allow the same pressure with Helium, and I would say .308 cal.... If you restricted it to 20 FPE, my answer would be .177, shooting 10.3 gr. JSBs.... *LOL*....

I think you left out a "what if" or "let's just say" there Bob :)

If your planing to go to EBR to compete at 75 and 100 yards it is pellets only. Most indoor competitions are pellets only. Bullets were allowed for the 200 yard event at 2015 EBR.

thanks for the info Sam, I'd like to do the EBR, maybe someday. but this is more for my anal-retentive accuracy personality.
