Absolutely correct. The cheap Chinese guns all have suspect ratings, and Gamo is reputed to be the very worst.
Any of the decent guns (Crosman, Daisy, Diana, Slavia, etc) all measure with lead (though lightweight pellets). The Chinese and Gamo all measure with very lightweight non lead pellets that mostly have absolutely terrible accuracy.
I did not see anything suggesting a difference other than referencing a higher MV.

Most non pal air rifles are tuned to just under, no matter the caliber.

Air you telling me that 2 JSB Jumbos, both starting at 450 fps will have a different trajectory if they are different caliber?
