Here is a representative illustration of RF .22 LR using very good ammo ( RWS 50 40g) vs. FX Boss .30 caliber using JSB 44g pellets at 100Y outside at my local range. Anschutz 1907 .22LR FX Boss .30 Smooth Twist Two 75 shot ‘scoring’ side by side comparisons. Source: AGN “In the rings” slug...

I have a very close first cousin who lives in Richmond, Va. Very nice area. I see Midlothian is about 20-25 miles from Richmond city. Hope you are feeling better and are on the mend Jerry. If you can wait a couple of weeks, I will send you my very lightly used .30 cal barrel. It’s been in...

So, I think the responses are endorsing .30 caliber for 100 yard target shooting. We are also seeing some very favorable ‘likes’ for AEA and JTS pellets. Not sure if Martin did anything else with my swap other than adjust reg and HS from .22 to .30 cal for tuning purposes. Where are you...

Jerry I bought my RAW HM1000x .22 from SPAW in 2018/19 timeframe. I used it exclusively for 100Y BR Target shooting. Martin built it to spec with the Poly barrel to shoot the JSB 25.39g redesign pellets at 935 FPS. In 2019-2021 time frame, GTA had a monthly 100y informal NUAH ( nothing...

Yeah, going to focus on 40Y a bit more in the next few months. Can”t let you, Joe, Mike and Marvin have all the fun! Great write up Ed, and like having the new shooters. Some day for kicks, we should show a leaderboard from a couple years ago vs. now. That really tells the story.

Yeah, this was back in 2021 time frame when I had the Taipan Long .25 caliber and I saw NLT’s post. But, your suggestion is extremely valid nevertheless. I’m good at tweaking HS’s to try and identify optimum accuracy at a specified distance and velocity. But I avoid messing with regulators (...

I like your approach Matthias!

FX Smooth Twist comes to mind. Wasn’t threaded, but boy can they shoot.

“ I am more interested in finding if your rig groups better with a higher reg.?, or more H.S. Tension to get to the same fps?” Following here…… I’m equally interested in others answering this question. Essentially, your question is getting at achieving better accuracy with adjusting for...

Ed Other than 1B and 7A ( both 9’s ), you really don’t have any low placed shots, using the hours on a clock as a unit of measure. An ES of 4 puts a smile on my face. Ironically, the AEA Center punch 21.9g is quickly becoming my .22 Taipan Vet 2’s favorite pellet. Have it flying at 910-915...

RTI needs to see this set of requirements. These rifles would fly off the shelves with these features. 👍👍

Thanks guys!

Shot 5 cards this morning with Vet2. Solid head wind and some R-L at times. I figured out a good hold on a head wind and did pretty well. Found a new velocity for the 21.9g AEA at 929 fps. Or, 920-930 range. Lot of ‘X’s today and only ONE eight. I included some scoring plug photos for the...

Thanks Scotty, and others. Just sent your reply to the electrician. Very helpful! Tom

That is odd. Not sure why a Coltri MCH6 230V spec‘d device would not include a plug for the U.S. Market. A power cord with no plug? Or, at least a recommendation.
