I shot around 250 rnds thru my new rws34 and i think i found a pellet that works at approx 13 yds, in my basement, looking for some relative idea, i am shooting a crosman hollow point 22 cal pellet, how much drop would there be at 25 yds from where i am now and 35 yds, gonna try my hand at some squirrels

Do you know how many feet per second you are pulling? If so, You can get Chairgun from hawke and it will tell you exactly what to set your scope at. If not, I have no idea because I've never owned an RWS.

Just as a ballpark, if you are sighted in at 13 yards, you should be very close to zero at 26 yards as well, and at most about 1/4" high in between.... At 35 yards, you should be about 1" low.... These are just approximate numbers based on 680 fps with a 14.3 gr, which should be typical for a D34.... That is assuming a scope 1.5" above the boreline....

If you are using the iron sights, you should be about 1" low at 25 yards, and 2.5" low at 35 yards.... but obviously the height of the sight line above the boreline is more critical in the final results....

You can do empirical charting of trajectory for your airgun/scope combo. Measure out the distances and record the pellet drop at each distance then interpolate for the in-betweens.
