Wasp 30 grain very devastating
wasp 30 grain pellet was very accurate & devastating even at 200 yards.spitter was FX Gladiator. At low power it is use less but at high power it was a sweet surprise even with high winds, hardly any deviation. Its a pity i only have one tin. H&N extra heavy 21.14 grain is best suited, A class accuracy & power at 200 yards. I am very pleased with the gun & the pellets. RWS super dome 14.54 grain is only good till 80 yards, as it is a light pellet it looses it path but distance is good. bsically it is good only at range below 80 yards( with no wind).

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Re: Wasp 30 grain very devastating
Mahboob has a point.
The airgun in question is offered in .177 and .22 caliber and at its high setting is rated for 950 fps (in .22 caliber). It is apparently a well made and accurate air gun.
CCI Stingers use a 32 grain bullet and have a muzzle velocity of 1640 fps.

I wouldn't call CCI stingers accurate or devastating at 200 yards and like him I find it hard to believe the results stated by the OP. While it is certainly possible for the pellet to make it to 200 yards, I'd really question any practical accuracy or effectiveness at that distance.

Re: Wasp 30 grain very devastating
It has even surprised me...... but fact is fact. Talking of .22lr bullets..... they are the fastest ever made thats it but not accurate at all. there are people on the forum who have shot .22lr at 300 & 400 yards. It will be too expensive for me to hire a slowmotion high end camera to prove the capability of the gun or pellet unless some one sponsers it.xl_target wrote:Mahboob has a point.

Re: Wasp 30 grain very devastating
6/8th of an inch at 200 yards is sub .5 MoA. Considering that a Stinger shot at 1600 odd fps has a 8-10 inch drop at 200 with a 100 yard zero, makes me wonder at even an 8 inch group given that the pellets are shot at 950 fps. Must be a very special air gun.ssc wrote:kanwar76 wrote:haan gold plated hai aur diamond bhe jade hain.

Shooting a .22 at 200 is very challenging to say the least, and shooting it beyond that distance is a waste of ammo. At 300 you would be lucky to hit your target let alone get a group.
