Muzzle velocity of Vasques Cyclone .45 compared to standard rifles?

Question

The round seems to take forever to impact it's target, and the normal amount I would lead a shot, seems to be ineffective, can anyone give me a rough idea of how they compare? Thanks!

Of course it takes forever. It’s a goddam AIR RIFLE. It is pretty strong against roe deer. But lead it like you would a bow mid-long range or the 22LR mid to long range

They are 600-1100fps, so no very fast. Most rifles will be at least twice as fast.

Double your lead but really unless they are close or already wounded id either switch to a real gun at that point or track them as its unlikely you are going to get a worth while hit

Mmm, only had a quick run with it earlier, need to get better at shot placement to reliably hit heart with it

Double lung works well for me on springbok too with the hollow points

I've only tried the... round nose? the higher pen one. I always try to go for heart, just to challenge myself, will need to try hollow point broadside double lung with it tho 😊

I usually use high pen ammo but im on the cash grind so between it and the 243 with free ammo i can make some quick cash gunning down springbok and even gemsbok witha good shot
