Geez, that .177 can shoot slugs at 100y!
This thread really opened my eyes as to what the .177’s can do at 100y with light slugs.

Shot this one yesterday eve as the daylight was disappearing. Had to run the shots off quick. Wind was next to zero which helped.
Epoch 30 cal @ 100 outdoor yards, five per, shot competition style.
The goal is to be in the 240’s by end of month:

Ditto!
Makes me want an Epoch. When they make Laminate and Walnut Traditional stocks, I’ll be interested. Not easy to do I imagine.
I reached out to Scout Directly via PM conversation and there are no plans yet, but I’m still trying to plug a new req’t.
Great shooting Augie. Those look like pellet holes and not slugs.

And another 5x5 at 100 yds with the Taipan vetran tactical 2 700mm in 25 caliber shooting JSB KO slugs 33.49 gr at 953 fps. Average of all 5 groups was 1.23 inches ctc
And with the kalibergun cricket tactical 2 60 in 22 caliber shooting H&N 217 21 gr slugs doing 927 fps. Average of all 5 groups was 1.04 inches ctc.
So today the Kalibergun beat out the Taipan

Even though this is a small sample, I like what the Cricket is up to more than the Taipan. It’s not about the 1.04” vs the 1.23”. It’s because it’s landing more slugs in the 1” zone you’re aiming for. I just took .025” off the back of my barrel to change the jump on the slug gun I shot earlier in this topic. Haven’t had a chance to do a 5x5 yet. Even though that gun is pretty much a 1” gun, I thought my speeds could be tighter. Will that equate to a better shooting gun? Or did I screw up what I had trying to improve on what can’t be improved upon? My Uragans are like your Cricket. I’m content with the factory offering. But give me a test Impact and I can’t stop. But I do have two that are hands off once I completed them.

Yes I agree. I wasn't happy with the cricket shooting pellets. Then I played with slugs and it showed much more potential for me. I was happy with the taipan until I shot it side by side to the cricket. Although it shoots JSB 33.95 really accurate. I wanted to shoot slugs. Was happy initially and bought 15 tins of JSB KO slugs. Last night I ordered some lighter slugs 30 and 32 grain. So the search continues. I might even revisit the 33.95 pellets at long distance. But that's part of the fun. Unfortunately I live in Michigan. So long range is coming to an end this year for me shortly.

Isn’t yours the Taipan from Derrick? I’m sure it’ll outshoot almost anything once you found “the” slug…
Separately, what’s going on in Michigan?!

Yes it is. After looking at my past records was shooting
I bought it used off this forum. I'm bad with names. But it probably was Derrick. After looking at my records. I see that I was shooting. 1/2 groups at 80 yards with these same slugs. I've put about 600 slugs through it so it probably just needs cleaning which I did this evening. I'll shoot it tomorrow or Sunday depending on the weather and me. Lol
As far as Michigan goes we've had a great 10 days or so in the 70's during the day and mid 50s at night. Hopefully I'll get out salmon fishing if they start running which should be soon. And if coarse Snow will be falling very shortly. I'll go into hibernation mode then. Mainly shooting indoor pistol shoots. Powder burners. But not like I used to.
How's things wherever you are at?

Sounds like cleaning will do!
September (and nowadays October as well) at my favorite months in NY, life’s good right now

Taipan redemption!!
Cleaned the barrel. I have shot 600 slugs without cleaning. Note to self. Clean barrel more often
. Anyway 101 yds variable wind from left to right at 11 mph. I was shooting facing south. Avg group of all 5 was 1.17. Gotta love the Taipan. Still shooting JSB KO slugs at 953 fps.
