Sniper bb weights

i have a UTG L96 spring sniper rifle that is said to shoot 465fs with a .2 gram bb. a .2 gram bb is of course to light for a sniper, so i was wondering if .25 or .28 bbs would be better and what the fps would be with each one?

I would reccomend the .25 for short distance ( Up to 20 yards ) , .28 for mild ( 30 to 50 yards ) , and .30 s for long ( anything higher than 50 yards . I also reccommend you have three mags that your spotter carries and reccommends .

i guess ill go with .28, but what would the fps be about?

The graph below will give some idea,

However a trip to this web site, a using the link 1-C Kinetic Energy will give you a detailed explination, very detailed

Hope this helps
