Athlon Heras questions ??

J
I have the 2-12x42 Heras SPR and is pretty nice for the money, a little chromatic aberration though. Parallax is pretty accurate and works just below 10 yards too, turret clicks are good also. Not sure what the glass does on higher power scopes though. I feel my Hawke Airmax glass is better. It’s my first Athlon.

Got mine from Camera Land, no tax and on sale, around $315.

I rang Dave Larson’s Bell

Wow! It’s really hard to ring the bell through the little hole at 15 yards and you got it twice at 30 yards in five shots.
Very good shooting, the small hole is about the size of a starlings eye!

Regarding the reason why a dry lube has no enduring effects here, I think it is because the same properties that make it good at adhering to the bore are the same properties that cause a little of it to delaminate and stick to a fresh piece of lead that slides by, carrying away some of it each time until almost none remains.

This scenario is quite different from lubricating a hammer, for example, where the two sliding surfaces remain paired together forever. To whatever extent the dry lube transfers from one surface to another, it has an opportunity to remain in the system and transfer back and forth like a tennis match.

Anyway if the goal is to mitigate fouling, lubricate the projectiles themselves and/or give some attention to the bore in the form of lapping or polishing.

All my best shooting barrels Do Not need seasoning per-say. Lapped/Polished and bore waxed they shoot best straight away. As they slowly foul or as some may say "season" they trend to start throwing fliers and time for a brush out, deep clean and re-waxing.
