Not familiar with the term "ELR".... or "PRS competition", for that matter.... As far as "weight downrange" having a better BC, that will apply to some extent if you keep the caliber constant.... but BC is really connected to the Sectional Density, which allows you to compare calibers.... A 120 gr. slug in .35 cal will have the same SD as a slug half that weight in .25 cal.... with the BC then being a matter of the Form Factor (shape).... A 60 gr. slug in .25 cal will be more slender than a 120 gr. in .35, so the .25 cal would likely be less affected by the wind than the .35....Pellets have a much poorer BC than slugs, so if you are really interested in the best performance in a crosswind, with a moderately powered PCP, I would look to a slug shooting .22 or .25 cal.... My favourite long range PCP is a .257 of about 140 FPE, shooting a 70 gr. slug at 950 fps.... The Lyman 257420, or one of its variants, is a great 200 yd. slug in a 14" twist.... This is not to say that you can't do as well, or even better, with a really powerful .30 or .35 cal.... but since FPE and air use is proportional to bullet weight (at a given velocity), and the FF advantage actually lies with smaller calibers.... I'd just as soon avoid the extra recoil and air requirements just to break even on performance....Bob
Mini sniping is shooting 9mm pistal cases at 35 yards. It was figured out to be hitting a man size siluet at 1000 yards. They used.177 target springer.

If you would like to see some thoughts on how to compare a PB to an air gun, this old thread might interest you....https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=107267.0Depending on the choice of air gun you make, and whether shooting pellets or slugs, you can emulate PB shooting at about 1/3 to 1/6th the distance with airguns, by scaling the target appropriately....Bob
Walmart also has some Red Ryder targets that are pretty challenging at closer distances.
More great info here. It would be a cool idea to have a prs style match with air rifles!

Over on airgun nation there is an entire board pertaining to NRL22 with air rifles. Supposedly NRL22 has created an air gun class and is allowing air guns to compete in the competitions. Does not appear that there is any formal rules regarding constricting their use.
