I’ve been trying to get my .25 Skout shooting pellets well at 100Y since November, mostly shooting .25 Heavy JSB, FX, Daystate Rangemaster, and JTS. While my groups and scores have been reasonably good, I just kept feeling that I needed more to be competitive at the highest levels for 100Y BR pellet.
I decided to change caliber to .30 and shoot the JSB Exact 44.75 grain pellets. So I swapped out the barrel and probe, then tuned the gun for about 870 fps.
This is typical of what I saw this past Saturday. I still need to shoot more to verify it’s not a one off thing, but I’m hoping I can continue 10 shot groups at 100Y like the below (other groups were similar, especially vertical spread).
What has me the most excited is the vertical spread of approx 1/2 inch, which would easily keep all ten shots in the 10 ring of an EBR/RMAC target with correct wind calls. The stats are also very good with ES of 5 fps and SD of 1.4 fps. We’ll see how it goes over the next couple of weekends prior to the Oregon event.
