because of the better choices in slugs and heavier pellets? Asking because there a lot more accurate PCP,yet many of those PCP have been around for years.
I was wondering,are the100yd. groups getting better

Interesting question. I wonder if anyone has compared rmac scores in the pro class over the last 5-7 years ? Have the average scores in the top 10 increased significantly? I wouldn’t admittedly have the time or gumption to do it. Would be interesting data.

Yes.
Something learned is that pellets don't need a fast twist barrel to shoot well and too fast a twist can make the pellet spiral at faster fps. Plus there are higher BC pellets nowadays. The 30 cal 50gr AEA seems like a top contender with IIRC a .06 G1 BC.
Then slugs with faster twists like the LW 15.75 twist in my Skout EVO or the 16 twist in my Thomas HPX, both 22 cal. These barrels will stabilize longer and higher BC slugs.
Many have had great success at velocities of sub 1000 fps with slugs which is achievable with some older guns.

lots of variant's to compare scores, wind and wind direction just to name a couple of them. Shooters and lanes ETC.

Very true…would need a lot of data for sure. Not really as easy of a comparison as it seems.

Here are some cherry picked groups I shot today with an old school HM1000X, using 44 JSB pellets at 100Y outdoors. #11 is likely the smallest 5 shot group I’ve ever shot at 100Y.
