This is especially true after just seeing Joe’s 25 Meter 63x’s yesterday. Yikes!

Yep. Good explanations. Tx…

Great collaboration! Very nice Ed!!!

Bob I found this post and perhaps this explains the discrepancy. Take a look. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/carbon-fiber-air-tank-liter-to-cubic-feet-conversion.632951/#post-1214189 It appears the discrepancy ( 97/98 cu ft vs. 86 cu ft ) is due to how you calculate the PSI for 300...

Bob The two charts don ‘t agree. Re.9L Great White as one example - The first says the 9L does have 88 cubic feet at 4500psi. Yours says 97 cu feet at 4500 psi. Which is correct? Tom

Hi Lou I don’t think Joe or Tim have anything to worry about. 😀

Yep, finally Checked with Joe F and Lou and I found a Rimfire shooting buddy at my local range, known as ‘Woody’s.” I need to complete the new N50 registration form and send in, and then we’re off to the races. Hoping to drag a couple more RF guys along once we get going. Only two AG...

Were we really that bad? Lol I think forgetting to close the bolt should count as an honest mulligan. Shame on us. It falls under the following two categories: “ he/she gets a Senior pass” “ CRS syndrome”

I bought a Taipan .25 Long Vet 1 a few years ago. I used it for Benchrest paper targets primarily. Accuracy for me was good, but not as good as I expected. Had a Huma regulator, but had some erratic ES swings and the side lever was in the back and as a lefty, it was awkward cocking for me. I...

Yeah, I think you’re right Tim. I will order a couple of tins. Although my two rifles already have some great shooting pellets, it wouldn’t be the first time “lower velocities” achieved better accuracy for my 50Y and under paper target challenges. It’s pretty well known higher velocity...

Yeah, those 28g JSB Grands are nice Tim! Good luck with the Meeker winds. 🙏 I’m guessing that they would be too heavy for either or both my RAW HM1000x .22 or my new Taipan Vet 2 .22 700mm barrel. My concern would be velocity might be too slow for the Grands. Don’t know though.

Shot a few 30Y Masters and 40Y Challenge cards with the RAW HM1000x .22 HP this morning. Wind was 3-6 mph, and mostly a tail wind with some R-L at times from 2 o’clock. Have one leaderboard entry: 40 Y Challenge 196-11X JTS 22.07 at 885 fps Athlon Heras 15X60x 56mm 35x magnification Note: I...

Good summary Ed. Shooting pellets at 100Y outside with significant wind will test everyone. I looked at your groups and the vertical is really good. It will be interesting to try this again in a light wind day.

“The skill development involved in shooting the Challenge well directly translates to shooting the non-forced positions well in field target.” Greg, your last sentence captures it all. I think it has helped in many respects: I.e., enhance hunting accuracy, make us better bench shooters...

FWIW - got out my calipers today Ed, Ricky - I also got the same exact measurements as both of you with our current .224 30 Y Challenge Scoring plug. I.e., .221” I also measured the N50 .22 cal scoring plug, and it is smaller at .2095” See pics. I took out an old Pro Class N50 target whereby...
