Guys,
Have you ever seen the pellet when shoot from your gun ? Of course you need a scope.
I have many times witnessed this in my marauder and recently in my HW 80 too.

Hello Brihacharan,
I have checked/ Chronied the FPS of both the guns and they are doing fine.
The HW doing 905 FPS with gamo promags!
The Marauder doing 945+ fps with the gamo promags.

Hey guys,
Yesterday when i was firing my IHP .22 with Gsmith High speed pellet i was able to see through the scope ,the pellet actually hitting the target , the target used was a white coloured cardbaord box, but if i use a Mastershot roundhead pellet i cannot see the same.
Think the gsmith pellet is loosing power during its flight due to its weight or may be my gun lost its power need to check.

Santhosh,
The Gsmiths are heavy compared to the other pellets I have used. Yet i have the bigger grains too.
Its heavier than the Gamo Promags which is 7.6 Grains.
Brihacharan ,
All my rifles in 177 except the Indians ones in 22.
