HW/Weihrauch Who shoots 22 Weihrauchs at 50 yards or more?

Well if you want, run four or five shot groups and I’ll make an aggregate group in SubMOA for it. I’m curious how someone else’s .22 HW does.
Over 20 shots, mine is putting down 3.75 moa at 22 yards with its favorite pellets. Granted, it’s been really windy here.
I’m considering selling my long .22 for a k .20

just shot HW77 long .22 only 48 yards 6 to 16 MPH winds from East and up hill EDIT: Top left is first shot , bottom left is last shot , it figures right !
EDIT : these were Diabolo not wadcutter ,wad's would have nice round cut holes .

Now that’s a really accurate rifle! Nice shooting! I didn’t do the whole card, but I did enough to see the result. I did assume the card had 1” squares. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Went ahead and dropped that low shot. It doubles the group size, and seemed really out of place. I also assumed the red bull here was 1”.
Honestly that’s a great card considering they’re really lobbing in at 75.

yes one inch , so the center orange is 3/8 , maybe tomorrow AM the wind will not be as constant .
EDIT : it is now (tomorrow ) today is more wind 20 MPH gusts same direction across the lake and up the cliff . Phooy

Yes that is one a one inch bullseye.
A good comparison is to look at this group I shot the same day with the 97 .20 cal at 75-yard.

I shoot a 97K .22 with a Vortek kit. I shoot shotgun shells consistently at 65 yds. Best shooting springer I own. I’m shooting the H&Ns 14.66 gr 5.53 head I believe.

Good morning, EqDelta
The groups are similar between the 97 .20, and 35 .22, but the 97s are a good bit tighter.

Morning, Trampas,
I do the same, but not on paper. It seems like it easier to focus in on a plinking target, or more likley selective memory.

I only use paper to sight in, the rest is fun! My LGU .22 will shoot with it but only out to 50yds I mostly cut mushroom stems with it (at 25-20 yds, its only about 12 FPE.

Paper removes the BS factors. I thought I was a real hero hitting shotgun hulls on the berm behind the 100 yard targets with a 22LR. At 100yds it was lucky to group 3". I wasn't hitting the hulls as much as was bouncing them around with the bullet's sand splash. It was lots of fun and made me feel great until I checked my actual accuracy on paper.
It's why I rarely shoot airgun groups at 50yds. Guns that group very well at 25 yards sometimes don't at 50. Much less past that. That said I love plinking longish distances. I have a normal sized Motrin bottle hung from a tree branch at 50 yards and a 4" round AR 500 plate at 93 yards. There's no chance of mistaking anything with an actual hit.

Oh you can hear a hit on a shell with an airgun, and yes there are ricochet shots also but they don’t make the sound.
Kind like the sound you hear when you hit a squirrel with one. I can’t hear that with a .22rf.
Either way its addictive
