I gather that advertised velocities are very optimistic, and/or using very light alloy pellets that are not known for great accuracy.
I'm happy anywhere in the 750-850 range, give or take. That should make a fairly flat trajectory out to 40-50 yards.
Yes regarding specs using lighter pellets. Marketing...
T11 makes a great point about weight. Had a friend who was big into air guns and he had a few larger heavier guns ie Beeman and Air Arms that were very heavy - gun weight and cocking force.later he got heavy into pre-charged. That said I’ve had good results using 177s anywhere from 675-900. 20 and 22 at 670-750 all with standard pellets. 8gr and 14.3
My R9 with 4x reached way further than many might imagine with 14.3 around 670. So your speeds will definitely give you plenty distance.
Those speeds are in a good range for any caliber spring air rifle for a balance of performance. Weight. And cocking force. The lighter the cocking the more practice - and fun you have.
Enjoy!
