First moa at 100 with pellets, straight from the tin

I had few minutes before sunset today to shoot. Set up a target at 30 yards and one at 100, took one shot at 30 to check my zero, then picked a spot on the 100 yard target to see what the wind was doing. I thought what the heck and shot four more. It looked pretty good from the bench, so I shot a few more. I had a great four shot group then got a high flier that opened it way up. I shot one more and that one dropped right in. I suppose if I sorted for weight I might do better but I'm ok with this one😁
I'm shooting an Royale in .22 pushing JSB 18s at 880 fps.

FOUND Air Arms S510 Ultimate Sporter Xtra FAC for sale

Condition is 100%…I didn‘t shoot it much. Shot .177 slugs which was a lot of fun. The barrel is slug friendly. Unfortunately, I no longer have space. If you’re looking to try .177 slugs or, then a lothar Walther barrel is the way to go. It’s also a viable option for hunting in a backyard on the lowest power setting…deadly quiet. Field target ready. Will be shipped in hard case shown in picture…$1300 shipped+insurance. Will consider offers.

New and need a little help.

Recently got my first pcp. .22 origin. Before I shot it. I took it apart completely. Cleaned and oil it up. Shoot’s fantastic. 1 3/4 turns off the hammer spring with fx 15.89. A ragged whole at 50 yards and a 3 inch group at 100. Have about 700 shots through it. I’m good with that. It’s for hunting. I can’t see myself spending 1k for an airgun. Looking at AEA in .25. Something easier to carry in the woods. I’ve read that with the AEA you may have to do some work yourself and that’s not a problem. HP Varment? Hp Carbine? Need help please?

Set a new world record today 306 … and shattered that record again 451 and AGAIN ... 540!

Well … take that with a grain-o-salt. My buddy and I have been hunting a large industrialized dairy farm permission for several years trying to reduce the pigeon population. We’ve shot over 6,000 pigeons there. The owner was so sick of the birds he went to great expense to enclose all of the four 1/4 mile long barns in hopes to get rid of the nasty birds. Initially it worked and we lost that permission for 2 years. Last week my buddy received word that the owner asked us to come back as the pigeons had returned.

We expected there to be only a few pigeons there but once we got inside the first barn there were thousands of them. More than we had ever seen. Previously the barns had steel roofing and we could shoot birds about anywhere but during the enclosure project they replaced all of the steel roofing with fiberglass roofing. So, that really changed our shooting challenges. The barns have steel framework so we could only take aim where the birds were in front of a steel back stop. We didn’t want to get blamed for poking holes in the new $850,000 roofing!

We we’re in the barns by 9:30 am today and within 3 hours we dropped 306 pigeons between the two of us, which bested our previous record of 190 birds. So, yes, it’s a new world record … (in our small part of the world) … for us ;)

Pcp plunge!

Sometime this year*eyeballs my bday in calendar* I want to take the smallest step/plunge into the rabbit hole of pcp airguns.🤪 Enough research tells me that a pistol amd a handpump would be my best starting point.
Now ive run across what should I get to pump up?
*None of the rifles I wanted are in stock/out of my expected price range.*
So I've come down to thinking it will be either of these(or any other sub $200 that you all would know of that would be a good intro to pcp pistol)....thoughts and whatnot greatly appreciated

Vintage “Groovy Stringers”

Just acquired this HW55S. Earlier 13mm dovetail model. This gun appears to be ”new old stock”. Looks like it just came out of the box. Being a lefty I’m happy to have a ambidextrous 55 back in my life. Not a Beeman import. Probably before Beeman. It originally came from ARH. I think it has a nice color for a Beechwood stock.
Show us your groovy guns.

Pellet quality control down the tubes!

Has anyone else noticed the state of pellets these days is on par with brands like gamo and daisy??
The majority of pellets (different manufacturers, different calibers, different weights) have Al been crap. Whether it’s bent skirt, damaged pellets, or weight discrepancies, there’s some real issues with them. Ive noticed my accuracy diminishing substantially, and I’m reserved about taking shots at pests past 30yds in worry that the pellet I’m shootings won’t hit its target.
Am I the only one having theee problems?
Has anyone notified them improving as of recent? I’m very skeptical about spending my money on ammo right now, bc I don’t want to be wasting it on crappy pellets. I’m very close to moving to the dark side and exclusively shoot slugs just for better consistency.

Decided to see what my setup could do at 200 yards. See what groups, if they grouped at all, looked like and see how accurate StrelokPro is that far out.

Setup: M3 impact no power block, stock hammer (no slug power kit), 700mm .25 cal superior heavy liner, nsa pin probe, H&N Heavy .249 40gr slugs 950 fps, element helix 6-24x ffp moa, eagle vision rings, atlas bipod, fx barrel tuner, and fat boy 2.0 moderator.

I was kinda shocked at the results. Wind was 5-10mph switching from the side to right behind me. So definitely not in a vacuum. Definitely real world hunting conditions for me. The first group was about 3 inches across. Which I thought was great for the first time shooting out this far. It was about 2moa low and 1 moa left of where StrelokPro had me aiming. Not to shabby imo.

Made an aim adjustment and my God!!! When I saw the first 3 shots almost touching I got super excited. Even the 4th shot was dang close! Then the 5th shot the wind shifted or I got to excited and it kinda went off but still a great group.

After that I tried another group and the wind changed so much I didn’t even make it on paper 🤦‍♂️.

Changed hold point for another group for the wind and it was about double the size of the first group. The wind had doubled in strength while gusting up then turning off completely. It was a cold dry wind so it made my eyes start to water. So I packed it up. I have much more confidence in my system now though seeing what it can do!

If I get my elevation and wind hold correct I can definitely take a pigeon that far out.

My FX Crown doesn't cock ....sometimes

Hi , when shooting my FX Crown ( 1st generation ) , it happens from timt to time , let's say every 8-10 shot , that the gun doesn't cock anymore. After a shot the cocking lever get strucked half-way , so I can't pull it fully backwards to cock the gun . This happens when shooting with a magazine or a single shot tray , pellets or slugs . I have to hold the cocking lever , press the trigger and it's ok ....until the next time ! I suppose it comes from the trigger system but I don't see clearly what's going on . I've never adjusted the trigger , it's factory set.
If anybody had an idea before touching the trigger mechanism....welcome.

Thanks

FX Panther no-hype review and tests

Hi, everybody! Let me introduce myself: Nikolay Boldov from Russia. Moscow, won Extreme Benchrest and American Field Target in 2019 (AZ, Extreme Benchrest) and 50 Yard Benchrest, One Gun Challenge in 2022 (AZ, Extreme Benchrest).

A few days ago, I’ve got my FX Panthera in .22 caliber. I consider this gun as a long range benchrest (150 yards) competition heavy slug (.22 40gr) shooter for my purposes.
My experience of slug shooting starts from 2017 when I began my experiments with 40gr slugs in .22 caliber, so I have a bit of experience in this topic.
I will try to describe my experiments, results, observations on this airgun in no-hype style with undoubtable (as much as possible) video proves here .
Technical details on FX Panthera can be found here: https://fxairguns.com/rifles/the-panthera/

Part 1. First acquaintance with Panthera out of the box

I will not describe Panthera’s appearance and it's main features here (yet) as you can find it in other youtuber’s videos. I will share my tests and results here.

Note: I’ve made a mistake saying that tungsten hummer is installed in my Panthera in my first post in social media about this gun. No tungsten hummers yet – just regular one, so this version is straight out of the box, no modification was made.

So, the very first thing I wanted to test is what speed and how many shots can this gun give me with it’s 300cc bottle and huge (156cc) plenum.

The result is 25 shots in 250-142 bar with 40gr slugs at the speed of 273 meters per second (896 fps). Average air consumption is 11,3 cubic centimeters of air per joule, that is a very good result as for me taking into account barrel length and projectile weight.

Here is the video prove and the table of calculations:


Макс выстрелов на штатной настройке, редуктор на 140, поджим на 2.png


My first impression.

  • I didn’t expect FX Panthera to be able to shoot those heavy slugs at that velocity (it should be rather accurate according to my experience) out of the box.
  • I really didn’t think that it would be possible to make 25 rather consistent shots from 300cc bottle
  • Really happy to have opportunity to shoot 40gr long (12,5mm / 0,5 inch) .22 slugs out of the box with usual magazine
  • I didn’t think that it would be possible to shoot those speeds with usual tube-like probe. I had to use pin probe for that needs in all my previous airguns.

Part 2. Know your gun power abilities​

The next step I’ve taken to get acquainted with my FX Panthera in a better way is knowing it’s power parameters. My thoughts were the following. Panthera has a huge power plenum of 156cc and it is not an easy task to take it all out during shooting (at least this comes out of my previous experience with this type of airguns). And my thoughts were that using MAX hammer spring tension is not a bad idea, because on high pressures I usually use, the hammer can barely harm the valve. So, there is nothing bad in setting the hammer to maximum power level (that is a bit above 4 micro wheel settings) and testing the gun on different regulator adjustments.

I’ve made my tests on 120 – 200 bar with the step of 10 bar and made 4 shots on each to get average velocity of that setting. I’m not sure if using regulator on the pressures above 170 bar is “legal” so don’t try to repeat. 😊

Here is the chart of results that I’ve got (just to remind – 40gr .2185 slug)

BarHammer setAverage velocity
FPS
Average velocity meters per second
120MAX827252
130MAX860262
140MAX892272
150MAX909277
160MAX938286
170MAX958292
180MAX975297
190MAX995303
200MAX1001305


You’ve got to take into account that the slugs I use are of rather big diameter - .2185 and of unusual shape – they are more like .22lr ammo. Usually slugs like H&N of the same weight gives +25-30 fps speed on the same settings (from my experience with FX Impact M3).

My intuition tells me that one of the most interesting setups for me (besides the one show in part one of that blog) will be the following:

175 bar reg pressure,

2,85 microwheel hammer settings

970 fps (294 meters per second) with my 40gr .2185 slugs

So, I decided to test that setup from 250 bar in the bottle and got 16 good shots. Here is the prove:


If everything goes fine, I plan to go outside and shoot at my shooting range tomorrow to at least 100 yards distance.

Part 3. Be wise with your hummer strike power


Past weekend was not the best to make accuracy tests outdoors, so I decided to have some tests and tuning indoors – in my workshop.

Is that a wise decision to use maximum hammer hit strike on lower reg pressures like 150 bar? Absolutely not. It will not increase the velocity of the projectile, but will raise your air consumption per shot to unreasonably high values. Here is what I’ve got during my test with reg pressure of 150 bar and 40gr .2185” slugs. 3 shots per every power settings were made and average result was put into the table.

Reg pressureMicro
adjustment
FPSMeters per second
150 bar1.25584178
150 bar1.5686209
150 bar1.75793242
150 bar2883269
150 bar2.25915279
150 bar2.5915279
150 bar2.75922281
150 bar3922281
150 bar3.25918280
150 bar3.5918280
150 bar3.75918280


So, as I got higher with micro wheel adjustment after 2.25 position, the sound of the shot became louder and the gun definitely vibrated much stronger every time. There is no need to go on higher hummer strike power – just the waste of air and destabilization of the projectile due to huge amount of useless air coming after it.

It is the simplest and obvious example of how it works. There is a curve of velocities going up, as we raise the hummer power from the lowest level, then you reach the maximum velocity and then stabilizing without any profits on velocity, but loss in air consumption. That is how it work with big plenums. Note: In case with low volume power plenum guns the curve will go down after the reached plateau of velocities if you will continue to increase hummer strike level.

I will not deny that there are some situations and reasons to go up to a bit higher hummer strike power after reaching the plateau, but it is the matter of very special purposes and should be done wisely with full knowledge of what you do and why.

Part 4. Brief review of FX Pantera and first try to shoot 40gr slugs to 100 yards​


Part 5. RECORD?!?!?​

Not much text this time - everything is in the video. 100 yards, .22 40gr slugs, 60 shots (6 groups by 10 shots) one by one without stop, single shutter made video as a prove - 0,97 MOA! It is not a hype - it is a fact. Amazed with FX Panthera stability, never met something like that before!
