The 9.56 gr dome QYS pellets I have were purchased from Airguns of Arizona. They are currently out of stock, but you could give them a call and inquire about future availability.

@windmill01 Only up and down. It was so cold, even the wind was frozen stiff. I shot my best N50 scores in the frozen conditions.

@Ezana4CE I'm shooting from a Caldwell Stinger rest on top of a table I have modified to remove any wobbles from it. My scope is a March 10-60x56 HM scope. My gun is a .22 cal Taipan Veteran Long. The gun and rest are predicable and consistent enough to shoot perfect scores on National50...

Just to clarify. I'm shooting from a heated indoor location out my back sliding glass door to a target 50 yards away outside. That means the gun is actually pretty close to room temperature whether I'm shooting in the hot summer heat or during freezing winter temps. The POI drop seems to be...

Which weather components do you need to worry about when shooting? The wind direction and velocity is obviously the biggest factor. However, until a couple years ago, I meticulously monitored the temperature, altitude, air pressure, shot angle and humidity of my shooting sessions. I was...

It is the sound of the pellet impact that you need to worry about. The smack of the pellet hitting a bird is FAR louder than the gun. Pass through is another worry, so be careful.

I've been able to shoot up to 32 gr. in my gun which is set up the same as yours. Heavier slugs than 32 gr. have all seemed too long to keep stable. 28 to 30 gr. seemed to be the sweet spot on the dies I had. The shot count is as good or bad as you want it depending on how fast you make them go...

If you actually weigh their traditional beech stock, it isn't very heavy. The weight is in the sturdiness of the gun itself. I seriously doubt the tactical stock will shed any appreciable weight. Best bet to lighten the gun would be with a carbon fiber bottle. You could use cheaper and light...

You say it is heavy. It doesn't look heavy. Do you know how many pounds it weighs unscoped? I've never been a fan of the looks of bullpups or bottle guns, but when it comes to performance (you know, the actual important stuff), bullpups with a bottle seem to be the best way to go with their...

I agree that a lack of results posted is odd. All I've heard is that Keith won the 100 yd benchrest. I guess that was the only event...

I haven't experienced it, but the water droplets could be condensation formed by the cooling of the air tank. This happens because as the pressure inside the tank decreases from shooting, the tank's temperature drops. On a warm and humid day, I could see condensation forming. I was under the...

I always shoot with a chrony. Occassionally, a "flier" corresponds to a lower velocity in my gun, but the correlation I'm discovering is that lower velocity fliers sound different in the gun which I'm currently attribiting to slight differences in hammer spring strike. Just last night I was...

Thanks, Mike. I'll keep an eye on the ends. I've been holding off on the purchase of proper flags in case I lost interenst in shooting benchrest. I'll pick a couple up.

Not exactly, but I shoot with both eyes open so that I can see the crosshairs and flags at the same time.

I just had my hat handed to me by a variable 2-7 mph tailwind while shooting three N50 cards. My 3 windflags (hanging pieces of flagging tape) were worse than worthless. Not only was I having trouble determining the strength of the wind at this angle, I swear there was a several second delay...

I find the less contact between my body and the gun the better. I can see my breathing and heartbeat move my aimpoint while looking at targets at 40-60x magnification. Therefore, I have a light cheekweld and light pressure in my shoulder pocket. My gun rests at the far end of the forearm but the...

Hi Hubini, Taipan wins hands down for me. It is quieter and has a much better trigger. I also prefer the magazines of the Veteran and ease of adjusting velocity using the hammer spring adjuster. The barrels are the same in both so accuracy is outstanding in both but I sold my Uragan and kept my...

It has always been my understanding that BC works in the opposite manner as this. The SLOWER the velocity the HIGHER the BC. This is because drag plays such a large role in a projecitle's BC number which is reported as an average at a variety of velocities.There is less drag at low velocities...
