    Swaging

    I’m willing to bet that there is no difference if you compare enough measurements over enough spools of wire.

    Please Explain

    Most prescription eyeglasses in the US are sold through a monopoly. Prices are artificially high.

    Swaging

    I’ve used it to swage some pellets. My next spool of wire will come from them.

    Swaging

    NSA wire is high quality very pure and clean. A+

    Field Target is an arms race.

    I’ve seen a score boost from using a good batch of pellets that the gun likes. That said, my Thomas seems to shoot everything a little better. But it’s only an advantage when it’s shooting a good tin of it’s favorite pellets.

    N/A old man that is newby to air guns

    A break barrel will be too loud and not powerful enough for many situations. A suppressed subsonic 22LR would be my choice can the suppressor will be the most expensive item. High powered PCP Airguns can do the job but not as cheap or easy as the rimfire.

    Splat

    Picked this up on the range where @bearbar was having a time getting a certain setup zeroed. Hit the metal target frame.

    Gonna ask this in complete ignorance

    The lead itself should work fine I find that the purer the lead content the better. As for using pure lead 9mm bullets as slugs, the others have covered the matter well.

    Trajectory effected by pellet weight and design?

    I find that with changing pellets in springers the POI moves around a lot more than PCPs, and it makes sense considering how much less vibration happens in a PCP. Generally a heavy pellet hits lower but if the harmonics are significant it can override that.

    You Get What You Pay For!

    The Simmons I have is old school before China was making scopes for name brands. But the optical quality is only OK compared to better glass.

    You Get What You Pay For!

    I learned it pretty early on, when I started shooting springers and tried cheap Simmons scopes ve Leupolds, and a fine Air Arms vs a medium grade RWS and a junk Crosman big box thing. It’s continued at a different price point as I now have a Thomas and S&B scope at my top end and in some ways...

    .177 pellet with least variance in manufacturing

    Hmm. I usually shoot the double shot into the dirt. Then make sure the barrel is clear before trying again.

    Quality pellet prices (vs .22LR rimfire)

    High quality .22LR ammo is $15/50ct. $.30/round. The same level of quality in pellets is a tiny fraction of that. Comparing .22LR ammo to premium slugs is getting more reasonable, but still I can get 1000 of any slug for better than match .22LR ammo pricing. David

    .177 pellet with least variance in manufacturing

    Simply the best right now are the premium match grade wadcutters. The JSB Premium are the most consistent diabolos you can buy right now. But I have found that finding the pellet your gun likes means more than the quality of the pellet. It's only after you've found the pellet it most likes...

    Pentax PF-65 ED II Spotting Scope

    I've spotted 6mm (6BRA) holes at 500 yards in good conditions. Using high-vis targets helps a lot though and I've spotted the same holes at 600y. I've not used it for airgunning. My really accurate guns have huge scopes, lol.

    Pentax PF-65 ED II Spotting Scope

    I have one and it’s great. The standard eyepieces and quality glass are standout features to me.
