Those .22 cal. Crosman Premiers (avg. 14.3 gr.) run 816 fps over the chrono out of my Benjamin Trail with the Nitro Piston II gas ram. I'm pretty new to these things, (it's my first ever air gun) and have yet to squirrel hunt with it like I want to. I, also, was wondering how those things would perform downrange so I fired a couple into a piece of pressure treated 4x4 landscape timber at a range of 25-30 yds. They were both buried into the wood requiring some surgery with a knife point to remove. So while I don't know fps and energy at that range I figure there's enough energy to bag small game. Now I'm waiting for a "volunteer" squirrel to come out on a limb and participate in my ongoing ballistic experimentation. When I was chronographing stuff I also tried the Crosman Powershots, 16.7 gr./ 736 fps, and the Crosman Piranhas, 14.3 gr./832 fps but decided to stick with the Crosman premiers. One of these days I'll become more enlightened on actual power.
