Since the Crow Magnums weigh 18.21 grains and the Redfires are 15.4 grains, shooting them both at 5 pumps means the RF pellets are going to be travelling faster than the CM pellets. Since I have noticed from a limited sample, that the RF pellets might be more effective than the CM pellets at...

So far, the two main pellets I've been using in my 392 .22 cal are the Redfires and the Crow Magnums. So far, they are about equal in accuracy, with a slight edge given to the Crow Magnums (but not by much, maybe it's just because of variables within the shooter). However when it comes to...

I've gone to my dad's the last few days and the chipmunks have been really scarce, only one or two running around in the No Man's Land that is the rocks between my dad's and his neighbor. It looks like the majority of them have gone underground into their dens for the winter, leaving me...

I just received my order of 1,000 Crow Magnum pellets from Pyramyd Air, chipmunks and pests beware!

I have a chart I got off the internet showing FPS/FPE per pump on a 392 using a 14.3 gr Crosman Premier. That gives me a decent baseline for what my rifle is doing, but as we all know, even slightly varying pellet weights and FPS can have a large affect on actual FPE. Currently, I'm shooting...

All my life I've been trained to shoot center-mass. From my earliest days shooting (7 years old) to the present day (54 years old), it's been center mass. Head shots were "discouraged" for reasons varying from being too hard to hit under stress, to political shenanigans. So needless to say, it...

Got a shot at two chippers today, the first one I thought it was a clean head shot. It seemed that way at first, but after a minute, he ran straight to his hole and was gone. I checked where he was laying and found a small amount of blood, so I must have just hit him with a grazing shot that...

I went ahead and bought the Baker Scope Mount, and I'm using a Discovery VT-Z 4-16X44 scope - a change from the Thompson/Center muzzle loader scope I was using. Following another person's suggestion, I sighted the rifle @ 10 yards with 5 pumps. The rifle is now more accurate than I am, 3/8"...

Just one chipper today, it was a slow morning. But I finally really HEARD the thud as the pellet hit home. When I went out to get him, it hit me just why they call them red fire pellets, all the "red" that comes out when you hit something with them.

I'm running out of the Gamo Redfires (dang it's been fun) and I went to order more, but the soonest P/A or others expect to get some more in is the 14th ... bummer. Fortunately I still have about 1 & 3/4 tins of Crow magnums, a tin of Hunter Extremes and a few hundred misc domed pellets to keep...

Went 'hunting' after work this morning. Only got one, but it was a big old sucker. I saw the chipmunk dart under a planter, so I sighted on the spot and waited. Just then his head popped out and I was going to take the shot, but he ran the rest of the way out and paused. Hunched over and sitting...

I'm rather quickly going through my first stock of pellets and I've gotten good performance out of the Gamo Redfire pellets and I was wondering how the Polymag/Polymag shorts compare to the Gamos?

First of all, here is a pic of my 'hunting ground.' The side yard off my dad's deck. Chipmunks abound here and they must have a gazillion holes all through it because they can appear and disappear faster than you can click off a safety. The tree line to the left is "No Man's Land" because it's...

I watch a lot of pesting videos and I've noticed that some of these guys (from the rangefinder readings on the screen) are using a 'dead on' hold at ranges from 8 yards out to 50 or so yards. With my Benji .22, I'm sighted at 20 yards and at about 10 yards I have to hold at least 2" low or I'm...

Wow, these Gamo Redfires sure do make a mess! The one pic is where he was sitting when I got him, nerve reflex made him jump a few inches away. It looked like I got him between the neck and shoulder.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I60uIy4iWH0 I just watched this 42 minute video on YouTube by Air Rifle Pest Control, and posted this reply: I too must be a sad little geek, because I just watched the entire video at 0400 hours with my morning coffee and it held my interest the whole...

I put the Baker scope mounts on my rifle and dad's the other day and I got mine mostly sighted in. I went over today and sighted in dad's Sheridan. It's dead on @ 20 yards/8 pumps and 1" low at 20 yards/5 pumps, which is where he wanted it, so he's happy. I finished sighting mine in with 8 pumps...

Top is the Redfire pellets @ 20 yards/8 pumps, 6 shot group. Bottom is the Crow magnums @ 20 yards/8 pumps, 6 shot group. This is after a rough zeroing of the rifle and the Discovery scope using my dad's home made rifle rest, which while it's good enough to let me get a rough zero, it...

Because of Vetmx's and Mark in Az's generosity, I am having a great birthday today. Because of them, I own an awesomely accurate, near mint Benjamin 392PA and and equally awesome Discovery VT-Z 4-16x44 rifle scope. I combined the two with a Baker scope mount yesterday, and one of my plans for...

The barrel mounts are gone and the Baker mount and Discovery scope are mounted. Wasn't able to try and sight it in though, had to run home to help the wife. But this is a long weekend for me and I don't have to be back to work until Sunday night, which means I have a lot of time to run over to...
