I was about to ask what some of the afore-mentioned addressed.
I have a 1377C that I have taken gray squirrels and cottontails at the bird feeder which is 21-23 ft. using 10 pumps. My question is as stated here earlier; should I opt for a Crosman #2240 @ 460 fps. or a #1322(same vel.)? Does the .22 cal. trump the higher velocity/penetration of the .17? At 21-23 ft. would this be a non-issue? Is there anything not to like about the
#2240? I do also have an old 38T .17 (S&W style) piece which is very accurate. Never tried it on squirrels. Think the velocity would be to low? (350 fps.) Noise is at least a little issue
because of neighbors. Sometimes I use a .22 short or CB out of a
23" barrel rifle as it is quieter than my #1377.
