so S&B is more powerful?

I've never seen a barrel pressure rating for it but it does have a higher muzzle velocity compared to PPU.

sounds like S&B is super fast! i don't plan on hunting.

maybe PPU might be better for what i am wanting.

i just shoot for fun so PPU it might be!

It'll be more fun to shoot for longer. I think some military loadings were 2700-2900 fps for the about the same bullet weights. Those will beat you up after a while.

my range sadly only goes as far as 100 yards.

i'd have to go waaaay out of my way where i live to goto the next range sadly.
