    Whole lead backstop

    Hello, I received a lead brick from one range officer for free when I mentioned I am planning to make one. I wanted to use one as bullet and pellet backstop. I have now shot it with my .25 Wildcat with 25 grainers and with PCP .17 pistol from the distance of approx. 25 meters. Below you...

    FX Wildcat .25 barrel lookup

    Hello. I bought my FX Wildcat around 4 years ago and have shot it quite a lot. I love the trigger, which I have myself adjusted to slow climb first stage and then no climb break. Maybe 3-6K ammo or more through it. Broke my ankle this spring and only now got around to shooting it again...

    Crosswind vertical deflection

    Hi, I think many shooters here have Strelok and have ran into the Vertical deflection of crosswind settings. And I assume most have swayed away from it. The idea behind it stands that no matter where the wind is blowing from, it always deflects the bullet up or down because the rifling works...

    Scope eyepiece adjustment tip

    Hello, I learned that I had been shooting pretty long with my scope without its reticle not being properly set for my eye. I had set it as the guidance says: On a blank wall, parallax maxed and zoom maxed, starting to turn the eyepiece until the reticle is crisp. Well, I wondered why it was...

    Argos clarity - nice feat

    Hi, I was testing my scope and trying to read a bus sign from 390m (used google maps, android app called Map Distance Meter) First I was not able to do it. Tried with eyeplay, different zooms. Then I twisted the parallax a touch down to maybe 410 yards, and with little play with the eyebox...

    Pellet washing - questions

    Hello, Please tell me the reasons you wash pellets. Is the lube used on them at the factory of bad quality? Your gun does not like lubed pellets? Is it the lead dust/shavings accumulation on the oily surface? Do all of you relube them after wash? Then second-level questions.. If i start using...

    DIY Boresnake

    Hi, I had not cleaned the barrel of my Wildcat for once. I had just been shooting cottons. Since I moved to 50m for real, I wanted to squeeze the group and before trying to modify/gage pellets, I supposed I could try cleaning the barrel more througly. So I made a boresnake out of an old sock...

    Krale-Schietsport experience / review

    Hi, I have overall very positive experience about this web shop as they sell items at a competetive prices and have enough stability that I can buy even more expensive items from there with trust. Last week I bought many pellets from them to try out my Artemis PP700SA and they sent me .25 box...

    Wildcat and wood work

    Hi, If you feel like you need to get creative you can start with these: Wildcat cheek piece 1. Grab a branch (I used pine) 2. Cut it to lenght (give some extra to sand the ends) 3. Use a knife to cut to preferred size and form. Sharp enough blade will leave nothing to sand off and I prefer the...

    My best paper so far

    Hi, 17th was truly a great day, I think I have shot the best paper to date. This was just couple of days after switching Harris bipod to Atlas V8 PSR to my FX .25 Wildcat, which allows for much lower position. Argos BTR 50mm at 24 power was used. Distance was 17m - 18,6 yards. I used JSB...

    Atlas V8 PSR on Wildcat .25 - review with pics

    Good day! I just today received Atlas V8 PSR (BT46-LW17 PSR) bipod which I bought from vikingtactics.de Before this I used a Harris bipod. And the Atlas looks very nice! Knowing that B&T does not make half-way products and that this cost me 372€ should give some guideline of how well made this...

    Hunting in my garden with the .25 Wildcat

    Hello, Since hunting with Wildcat without big modifications is not legal here I chose to choose my prey better. Today a snail enjoying my yards herbs experienced the faith that was bound to happen to it. Happy weekend everybody! ​

    Smooth Twist looks to be working

    I found one shot JSB Exact .25 pellet in perfect shape from my back yard today and weighed it along with another pellet from the same batch. My hypothesis was that since there are clear rifling marks on the pellet it should weigh some less than an unshot one. This pellet was maybe shot at ice...

    FX Wildcat trigger adjustments for precision

    Hello, Just spent pretty long time playing with my trigger (and also adjusting it) and I want to share you the settings that I came out with. My advice is to take picture of your present settings and then try this one and maybe start adjusting from there on. With these settings the trigger...

    Why do they stare at you in the dark

    Good day. I was shooting targets today and all of sudden I saw movement in my scope. A cat appeared to the shooting yard and stopped couple inches from my firing line. He then stared at me quite a time and left off, but even with cat night vision, I wondered how it spotted me so fast. So when...

    Do you even pump

    Hi, I thought it'd be a fun thread to start here a competition over PCP filling. Many view filling a PCP with a pump a lenghty operation, but for the first time today I put a stopwatch to see how long it takes with serious effort. And with 2 or 3 very short pauses to check the pressure (it is...

    Barrel to "pellet" wear-in is true

    I just started smashing Grizzlys and actually just wanted to see how they fare. First I shot around 8 shots to other target, then started with the paper. Here is my paper, once I noticed the shots lowering I zeroed and started aiming at round targets. See how group size falls? Also the outer...

    14$ hearing protection: Aculite Shooter's Aid

    Bought these for rimfire shooting along with MSA Sordins.. While Sordins are expectedly very good, also these seem to do fine job! Sordins = 180 + 35 for the gel ear pieces Aculite = 14 to 21$ Just tested shooting 2 barrel cleaners from .25 Wildcat in a concrete room 5x5m, and the sound I...

    Simple penetration test: JSB King vs HN Grizzly

    Hi, I have both of these and while Grizzlys sometimes shoot very accurate, JSBs are very good always (as everyone knows here) But when I noticed that Grizzlys leave a mark and sometimes a very small dimp to my steel target (Base of an LCD monitor stand detached from the display) I wanted to...

    Lower speed, lower wind deflection

    I was again learning stuff about shooting and came across the question that had one .22lr shooter had. The ballistic programs give less wind deflection for rimfire ammo with less speed. And this applies even when both bullets have identical weight! Here is the link I found which explains this...
