Crosman 362 and 3622 comparison

[2A Georgia]

For hunting purposes the C362 can be pumped ten times and it will produce better than 13 FPE using acceptably accurate, inexpensive, and readily available pellets.

I have my pp800r tuned to about 13-15fpe...curious are you taking head or heart shots?  And out to what distance?
Really been enjoying your thread. 

The hunting pellet for my C362 is the 17.6gr Norma GTFT Heavy.  Ten pumps gets you 593 fps. That equals 13 .74 FPE and it shoots flat enough out to 35 yards.  Most of my shots are under 30 yards so this is plenty of medicine.  For longer shots the 14.3gr Crosman Piranhas will hit 646 fps and 13.25 FPE for the same number of pumps.  The 362 killed a squirrel at forty three yards with Piranhas last year.  The ideal is a head shot.  The 43 yard squirrel POA was the head but POI was the spine.  It still amounted to DRT.  I have elected for a boiler room shot but that was on a treed squirrel that would not present a head shot.  Range was less than 20 yards and I decided to use the heavy Normas.  The shot was a clean pass through of the vitals and the squirrel came down pretty quick after that.

Pretty much my same experience with my Notos.  Thanks for confirming.  I hope I have some encounters 15-25 yards when I'm totin the pp800r pistola.  It has the WGS Peep so not sure my eyes can reach out beyond that without magnification.

Interesting thing.  When I evacuated for the recent hurricane the C3622 was one of the two air rifles I took.  Mainly because it is my newest gun but also because it is one of the best guns I own.

Now that I at least own a hand pump the prospect of buying another PCP seems a lot more appealing.  Pumping up the little C3622 is easier than airing up a Mountain bike tire with a hand pump.  I suspect filling a higher volume reservoir would take longer but wouldn't be particularly onerous.  So now my interest piques when I see an add for a cheap PCP.  One thing I did learn from all this research is that my next (?) PCP will be at least .25 caliber.
