Yes, but it depends on what you want to use the gun for. If you want a high velocity pellet, then go with the .177 caliber. It is lighter, therefore it will travel faster. But if it breaks the sound barrier your accuracy is lost. If you want an air gun for hunting, then buy a .22 caliber. They are much larger and heavier resulting in more accuracy and more knock-down power on impact.Those are the most common pellet diameters.

Would you be able to use a pellet grain that's 11.57 on a gun that takes about 7or8 grains?

I assume you are asking about air guns, if so then it would be helpful if you stated the model. Most air guns can accept all weights of pellet grains as long as the pellet is the correct caliber. In other words you can not use a .22 pellet in a .177 caliber pellet gun but you can use different weight pellets as long as they are .177 for that gun.

What is the most powerful BB gun?

If you are asking about airguns in general not just BB guns, but Pellet guns also. The family of PCP air guns. (Precharged Pneumatic Guns (PCPs) these use a scuba tank to charge the rifle. They can shoot up to a 50 cal bullet and bring down a Moose. As for BB guns alone most will fall into the under 500 feet per second group. Where Pellet rifles can exceed 1000 feet per second. BB guns/rifles are not as accurate as pellet guns/rifles. Because BB guns use a smooth boar barrel where pellet guns use rifling in the barrel.
