The pellet companies recommend at least 20 to 30 joules of energy for 15gr to 20 gr pellets or slugs. It is mentioned on the pellet box and these heavy pellets are only recommended for PCP rifles.
Yes, you could use heavier pellets in px 100, you can also find YouTube vedios on this topic.nikitagupta2106 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 10:10 amSo can we use 13-15gr pellets in px100? how's their performance as compared to 8-9gr pellets?
80 m is quite a distance for an airgun I suppose.Mr.Shome wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 1:00 pmHello Hornet22,hornet22 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 6:04 pmThe heaviest pellet in .177 that I have used is g smith field shooting , it is 9.6 grain it is good for metal targets at long distances in windy conditions.

Would be glad to know, what exactly do you mean by long distance. I suppose, roughly 50 to 80 metres, or even longer?
Thank you
What exactly is the point in your question Mr shome ?Mr.Shome wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 1:00 pmHello Hornet22,hornet22 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 6:04 pmThe heaviest pellet in .177 that I have used is g smith field shooting , it is 9.6 grain it is good for metal targets at long distances in windy conditions.

I don't use a scope or PCP rifle because I like the simplicity of break barrel rifles and open sights that's my choice and based on that I have given my opinion.Mr.Shome wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 12:21 amYou yourself said long distance, and to my simple query, I received your inputs. Yes, any bloody fool (including me) who uses airguns, knows this trivia, although, some youtubers post mind-blowing shoot ing videos with PX100 Achilles. As far as as your hitting small tin targets with spring air rifles is concerned, it's an amazing feat as 50 metres is the standard even for .22 LR Open Sight Rifles and pistols.
I thought, you used a PX 100 Air Rifle with scope for long distance. Hence, the query. Anyway, the OP's and my query doesn't seem to have been addressed in this thread.
So, I bow out to your superior knowledge, and apologise for asking a simple question.
Looks like, I was sadly mistaken.
It was a stupid question to begin with.nikitagupta2106 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 7:10 pmHi,
I usually use around 8-9gr pellets on my px100.
Has anybody tried 13-15gr pellets? How's their performance?
