Definitely need to consider speed vs range here and how close to the limits of FPS your gun is.
Heavier ammo might get you that vital extra tree line or two distance, but if you go too heavy for your FPS then even if your hop can lift it you'll end up with BB going so slow a cheeky fucker like me has time to dance around before ducking, or try hit the BB's back with the stock of the gun (i got told off for this...)
People just assume heavier the better regardless but it isn't always, if the target person is too far away for 0.2 to make it, doesn't see it coming or is unable to move quickly regardless it's all good. If they aren't too far away, see it coming, are already moving, or have something resembling reflexes then it'll be a hindrance to you compared to 0.2
I just use 0.2 and if playing woodland have a clip or two of 0.25 if required as doesn't need much hop adjustment, if any between these weights i find.
