Let's see some airgun groups

[Precision Quest]

I don't see much on the site for airgun groups. So here is one of my recent ones - it is a 5X5 at 40 yards.
I have shot a number of 50 yard groups with pellets and find it hard to properly assess the group size as you tend to get paper rip with pellets under 900 fps at that and greater distances. This is why I went recently with 40 yard groups.

Gun: FX Impact M3 - 25 cal
Pellet: 33.95 JSB MK2
Power Setting: 91 bar, 16- 3, 4 lines
Shot off bipod and rear bag

5X5 Avg of .224"

5 consecutive 5 round groups from my EVOL 22. The EVOL 30 does about the same in my hands.

Nice shooting there. What pellet / slug are you using?

I don't shoot groups on paper much anymore. My better pcp's aren't easily tuned like some brands are so I request gunsmiths to tune them for me. Even so I notice 'things' change from day to day. Some days they shoot crazy good and other days I'm surprised they don't.
Nowadays I mostly just shoot at various steel with my airguns for the fun of it.

Back when I got my Thomas HPX 22 cal that I named SURELY I was practicing for EBR and RMAC in 50Y and 100Y BR comps, and also I was going to try to compete in N50 BR so these are some of my top scores back then with pellets.
22 cal 25.4gr Pellets. IIRC these were scored using a 35 caliber plug. I never acheived a 250 with pellets.

Same gun with the slug barrel on. These are 22 cal 42gr slugs I swage myself.

My best at 99Y

200Y

Did this last Wednesday at 421Y with my new Vulcan 3 25 cal using Altaros 60gr slugs. We couldn't see where I was hitting but we knew I was hitting steel because of the clanks we were hearing. But 12 shots and 12 hits. One nicked the tip of the dick and I'm counting it, LOL!

Print your targets on card stock. This with a cardboard backer. HW 97 .177 7.3gr pellet 740fps. Shot on card stock.

I use playing cards as well, the thicker paper will give nice holes.

I’m not much of a group shooter and I didn’t measure these but I was happy with them. This was using my RAW HM1000X in .22 with JTS 22.07 grain pellets averaging 1000 fps. Most of the groups aren’t much bigger than my thumb if that helps.

Nice groups

Im curious for a .22 PCP what’s the preferred zero range ? 25 yards ? Or 35? Or????

 

[ZacharyR]

Me personally I like 40 a yard zero. That’s probably range I do the biggest percentage of my shooting and with my gun zeroed at that range I never have to hold under it’s always over. At 15 yards my holdover is close to the same as at 60 if I remember right.

 

[tacops1]

On an old air Venturi 22 I had with jsb 18 grain pellets I sold the set up to a friend and just upgraded but I did a 25 yard zero but then at 10 and 15 yards had to dial up and past that 25 had to dial up which wasn’t bad

At 25 zero
10 yards was 4.5 clicks up
15 was 3.5 clicks up
25 was zeroed out
35 was 1.5 up
45 was 2 up
50 was 2.5 up


I was curious if I had sighted in at 35 or 40 wonder if the ballistics would be tad different at 10/15/20/25

10 shots at 10m from both rifles. Anschutz 8002 S2 set up for 12ftlb, and an FWB 601. Top target is from the 8002 with a scope that doesn't parallax down low enough. The middle and bottom are from the 601. Was testing ammo and ended up pulling a shot in the bottom group.

I've been competing in 100 yard EBR style events using an FX Impact in .22 and .30 caliber. Just for kicks, I wanted to experiment with .177 caliber at that distance. I had a 600 mm barrel laying around, so I installed it on my Crown MKII Saber Tactical. I'm thinking this has a lot of promise.

With the light pellets a fly fart can send them into never never land.

Several years ago one of the online air gun stores had a long ranger game they played. You shot those golf balls made of powder. People went nuts over that. I stopped at 100 yards, I figured that was pretty darn good for me. The drop was just insane.
