Help with these Baracuda Match .177 HnN

JimD said:
I think you know this now but 177 Baracuda Match are sold as 10.65 grain. I've measured some and found them pretty close to this. I've tried Baracudas and Baracuda Power (copper plated) in my one 177 and the Match shoot a little higher scores on the 30 yard challenge (I shot a 193 this evening). The head sizes on the tin do not match my head size gauge but the ones sold as having a larger head size are larger. They are nice consistent pellets. Weights are more consistent than JSBs, for instance.

I ordered some 22 Baracudas by mistake recently and was surprised at the tight weight distribution and consistent head size in them. Must be a really good batch. My first target with them was a 193 8X. Not as good as I've shot with the Match but it was just one target too.

I think far too many people think JSBs are always the best pellet for their gun. I always try both H&N and JSB and 5 of my 6 guns shoot better with H&Ns.

And the huge cost difference.
I wait for Hatsan to have their 15% or 20% off sales and buy a lot of .22 Match and .25 Barracuda.

My .22 & .25 AirForce, Niksan and Hatsans like the H&N best. My Reximex Throne likes JSB and JTS.
My brits like Barracuda 18.

FX  Leopard .25 Cal 600 mm bottle arrived. My experience.

G
I recently sold my DRS T due to looks and it being spring/summer (I’m in NY and walking around with an AR lookalike may attract unwanted attention). Tough one to let go cause it was incredibly accurate and all around an awesome rifle so I share you experience with the DRS. High hopes that you report similar for the leopard, which would move it to #1 or #2 on the “next PCP” list…

30-Yard Challenge

J
I have nothing to show for targets (shot another 193 with the 177 a few minutes ago) but relative to velocity I find it interesting that those in England have 25 yard benchrest competitions with their 12 fpe limited guns. So even with an 8 grain they are below 800 fps. Some of my guns can get to 900+ but my Prod, P35-22 and P35-25 cannot. P35-22 and 25 could with light pellets, I guess. But those are not what they like. The P35-22 is pretty accurate at a little over 800 fps.

I also enjoy seeing Tommy in particular shooting great targets at well over 900 fps.

I have tried varying velocity to make my cast pellets shoot better and been unsuccessful. But I have noted my P35-177 needs to be at about 880 fps to do it's best. 20 fps higher or lower and scores are noticably lower. P35-22 does not seem to be so sensitive.

Price check, Boxed Crosman Premier Lights, 7.9 gr. 2 full cases.

218bee
Hi all…
Cleaning out the cave and found these. Two full cases of CP Lights, 7.9 grs.. Die “D”. 1250 per box, and 8 full factory boxes in all. I have tried Googling them for a price approximation with no luck at all. Will probably end up on EBay but hate taking the %13 hit. Anyone have an accurate estimate to price for both cases combined. Dont want to separate, as they are all the same Die & mfg date.
Thanks for any help here. again, just want to get an accurate price for the both cases.

What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

imbrbing
Got a new Burris full field E1 scope in and mounted it to my Gamo magnum. I raise chickens and sell eggs, sometimes I find them in weird places so since I don't know how old the eggs are I get a stockpile after a while made for elimination. So I after sighting it in I dispatched some eggs from 50 yards.

Krale And UPS Import charge??

J
I'm glad it is working out. Now if you get the gun you want at a reasonable price.... I was surprised that Krale was so pleasant and responsive when I called them but slow at best to respond to email. I'd rather get an email any day. But we all have preferred way to communicate and I appreciate that they are so fluent in English.

Snowpeak  Max 1 -- I'm drooling

bernieorosz said:
I ordered a Snowpeak P35X .25 from Krale.

At this point, I've declined the UPS $860 import fee, and gun is on it's way back to Krale. I will update my 'Krale UPS Tariff' thread with the status.

BTW.... Call me crazy :), but today I ordered the P35X .25 from Wes with a cheaper price than Krale when shipping is included. He only had two left, so I acted now even before resolution on my Krale P35X issue.

Wes is shipping these from Texas, so no tariff applied.

RTI  New gun!

U
Incredible.

Quick question. We all have different levels of physicalfitness. My guess is that your rig is about 15 lbs with the scope, bipod, moderator, slugs? I'm curious: Do you move around much when hunting with that rig or do you find a spot and mostly just stay put while picking away at the targets when they pop up?
