The best I've seen with MRDs, after a hard, 5 year long fight and lots of barrels. Dunno if it's all "LR" RTI barrels, or if this one is special, but I'm so far very happy with the results.

I can share some 4x5s in the future. I really like the format of sequential shots, either all into one group or of multiple groups, no sighters. Showing all shots taken really shows what a gun can do. This was yesterday morning at 99 yards. It was taken while measuring BCs and the focus was...

Yeah buddy, I feel ya. I've tried to bring it back to pellets more times than I can remember this late at night. Certain contingent keeps piping in, almost like they're selling slugs or something, and they don't want anybody to realize pellets can still be quite accurate at long range too.

I typically consider the following a practice session.... Shoot at paper in at least one yard increment from 10-20 yards, and then from 20-55 @ random increments. I shoot from the position I'll use during the match (ie, NOT a bench). I range each distance with the scope, and use the...

Just tongue in cheek.

Post # 32 earlier in this discussion. Pretty traditional pellet shape. I'm not the only one stretching the. 20/15.89 so far. The long range capability of the .20/15.89 has been witnessed by others, not just me living in "bedtime stories." To clarify for the third time, I'm not getting...

Very good. Your starting speed is faster than I assumed, and your BC is also better than I would expect from that pellet. With that data, you'd have even more fpe left at impact than I estimated. In my testing, .22/18.13 JSBs are usually in the 0.035-0.038 range, although I've seen a few...

1.22MOA @ 157 yards with pellets you say?!?! You mean to say it didn't hit an invisible wall @ 101 yards and just fall benignly, straight to the earth? 1.22MOA @ 157 yards is good stuff, pellets or slugs. Great shooting. Played with some numbers, and based on one e ballistics app, and quite...

A large part of why I said 100ish fpe is most easily done with a rimfire is because of the AIR part of shooting airguns. High pressure air is a hassle, especially at the power levels necessary for an air powered slug to get to 80+ fpe. The "hassle" of HPA is all of the peripherals, the...

Fast follow up shots are for people who miss the first time, he he.

And there's that pellet sniffing cat. He must do good work sniffing out the good slugs too.

Are the slugs hard to "chamber"? Wondering if the probe bent by mashing the slugs into the leade.

THIS. PCPs and all the peripherals are spendy. But shooting them a lot is much cheaper than shooting powder burners at the same volume. And your shoulder doesn't hurt. And you're not burning through barrels. And you're not deaf from the report. @chaught was over at my place a few weeks ago...

I've used sizers, and they typically REDUCE the diameter. Sounds like you're wanting to INCREASE the diameter. Could maybe flare the skirt to do what you want.... I remember seeing somebody experimenting with slightly squashing pellets to make the head slightly larger. Seems it would be...
