Anyway, is it also true for pistol (secondary) used outdoor, to use minimum .28?

look at it like this outdoor above 350fps use .28-.32 choosing what ones work best (ie what ones you gun can hop efficiently without having to turn it all the way up causing jams and such.
That being said gas guns act a lil diferently then spring piston guns and useually benifate from heavier weights.
I use .30 in all my pistols and rifles (now ill be using .32 after some more testing in the rest of my guns to insure my pistols can hop them enough for it to be viable)
.20 are for chrony testing and low power guns (like up to 280 fps and even then .25's are beter at that power)
.28 are a minimum for todays "higher powered" guns IE from 340-500fps but .30 works best and now that the .32 are available locally im sure alot of folks will be switching to them.
450 and higher (ie spring bolt acion sniper rifles) .36-.43 and higher depending on the gun.
Dont get me wrong .25's are fine but you can get better acuracy with heavier weights provided your gun has the velocity and hop up ability to run them effectively.
my 400ish fps guns can all achieve 250ft plus with .30 on a prety flat trajectory if i give em a bit of a hump to the flight path with a lil extra hop itll get out to 300ft plus but by the there isnt enough energy to be practical or effective so i stick with a flat 250ft effective range and thats good enough for an aeg in my books.
with the 500fps bolt action im good to 375ft plus with .36 or .40 on an almost flat flight (small hump between 150-200ft then it levles out and starts to drop having to aim above target about 1ft at 350 feet and carrying enough energy for called hits at that range and greater but becoming less effective the higher you have to aim above the target for obvious reasons)
Ricochet you had issues with madbulls? What madbulls' they have a few different "lines" of BB's "match grade" "precission grade" (5.95+/-.01mm) and their bios. I didnt like the bios at all havent tryed the low grade ones but teh precission grade ive had no issues in the bags ive used
Stealth, if you can get the .36 or .40 bioshots thatll be awesome but ive hunted and contacted the manufacturer and they say the are out of production?
