Yes, that was interesting. The subsonic .22LR and the .30-cal air-rifle were similar at 50yd but I would've liked to see them increase the range and see what sort of maximum range they're capable of. He was saying that the trajectory of the air-rifle lets it down but I don't agree with that, anybody seriously interested will learn the holdover required at various ranges. Be interesting to see the effect of the 50gn .30-cal versus the 40gn .22LR at 75yd and 100yd.
