Just getting my feet wet in this whole airgun thing.
After quite a bit of research and a number of youtube videos I took the plunge and ordered a Seneca 45cal air rifle. I plan to use this for hunting pigs and deer in the TX hill country area.
When it comes to casting for traditional (powder burning) firearms I have learned that bigger diameter is generally better for accuracy, and softer alloy is better than harder. Does this hold true for air rifles?
Most commercial pellets or bullets I see for air rifles do not seem to have any lube, while I understand lube might not be necessary has anyone tried? Any benefits to lube, or perhaps a coat like Hi-Tec, or perhaps paper patching?
On medium sized game what bullet weight/style have you found to be most effective? I have used muzzle loaders before and know a pure lead round ball can preform quite well, but am curious if I could expect the same results from an air rifle.
