Beautiful, thanks for the good read!

Thank you for the direct answers. Now I'm off to find some domed pellets

Forgot to ask, why do the domed/hollow points tend to work better? Do they fly better at distance than wadcutters? Or do they hit the silhouette targets harder yielding harder hits?

Thanks for the quick answer! A lot of information can be found at steelchickens.com, but getting a login can be problematic (I know the site master personally and choose not to drag business into our fun time at the range).

My experience with air rifles is limited to 10 meter target shooting, however I've shot smallbore metallic silhouette for several years. Turns out that there's a category of competitive silhouette for air rifles, who knew?!?! Do different shapes of pellets fly better/worse at distances from...

Will get some photos up eventually. For now it's just a matter of manipulating my fingers go get a pellet into the barrel, yet below the scope base that extends across the top of the loading area

On my 10m rifle its quieter than snapping my fingers

If I remember correctly, there was some question on TargetTalk.com regarding Vogel pellets. Something to the effect of a widely-observed change in accuracy for the worse. This may have been 2-3 years ago. Possibly something changed in manufacturing process. Although I suppose this is all...

Interesting. I've got some Eley Ventus, RWS R10's, and some H&N heavy whatevers, and they all seem to shoot great from my rest. Maybe my Anschutz 8002 is one of the forgiving rifles mentioned above. Perhaps I'll shoot it farther to see what pellets group tighter at farther distances

To preface, I have no Olympic games ambitions. I've seen what it takes to earn that, and I'm not interested. The juice ain't worth the squeeze for me. I've recently started shooting PCP air rifles to supplement my smallbore and high power rifle marksmanship, and understand that ammunition...

As a relatively new high power service rifle shooter, I found an Anschutz NMAR 8001 this last summer that I couldn't live without. Has the original iron sights and everything. However almost a decade ago NRA and CMP started allowing the use of low magnification rifle scopes that max at 4.5x...
