Jim: Have you ever tried JSB 13.43 MRDs with your P35? Those have always performed best out of my .177 rifles around 820 fps.

30-Yard Challenge
- Thread starter tcarlson777
- Start date
I've never used any JSB pellets in my P35-177. Maybe I should sometime. I did try some in my P35-22 and it shot 18 grain well, didn't try the heavier ones, but it shot 21 grain H&N Baracuda Match a little better at 30-35 yards. 25 yards they were equal. I also tried JSBs in my P35-25 but H&N shot better in it too. So I just basically assumed the 177 would prefer H&Ns. I'm getting a little under 900 fps with the 10.65 so velocity with 13.43 should be useful.

Shot (3) 30 yard challenge cards with the Revere, but could not manage greater than a 195-11X. I think I have a higher card already for the Revere, so none of these are for submission to the leader board.
As I was leaving the range, I moved my target back to 50 yards and shot an N50 card with my Anschutz .22 64 MPR ( 244-6X) using Eley Match 40g Ammo. Wish I could shoot the air guns as well as the .22 LRs, but I do like each. The .22 LRs stroke my ego better!
The N50 rules allow for a .35" scoring plug, which really helps!

Is the grey dot an X, or the black dot in the middle an X? Please clarify? I may be doing a lot better than i'm thinking i am...

You have to remember that the target I scored was shot with a .177 pellet but scored with a .224" (.22 cal.) scoring plug as per the rules.

Nice shooting with the Revere. My Regal is the same - it shoots 193+ most every time with JSB pellets straight from the tin. Just doesn’t throw flyers. I think its the rifle that can get me a 200, lol - if I don’t choke when I know I’m close…

So it appears I need to buy another PCP rifle, as that is what we do, right? Which of these do you all think has a better chance of shooting a 200 score?
A) FX Panthera 500 .177 (shooting pellets, not slugs)
B) Air Arms S510 XS Ultimate Sporter .177

I think it's all about wind-though having a bipod and better squeeze bag would help me stay in position better. I'm shooting off bags and having to scrunch around a lot to get on target. Conditions were good today, I had time for one card, tied my previous top score with a 198-15x.
This is fun!

Today I got “official” .177 & .22 scoring gauges from Freeland Sports.
This might help me, lol. I tended to be very conservative scoring.
My best score I’ve posted-197 , was actually 198 as per the picture.
The magnifier is cool!

Ed,
“198” pretty darn good!
I just ordered the .22 scoring plug too, after seeing your post. The shipping costs more than the plug.

I called Freeland and they reduced my shipping to $3.50 - just had to put that comment in my shopping cart.

I shot 2 cards with my Benjamin Cayden today. Scored a 194 and a 198.
I’m submitting the 198 to increase the 195 that was my previous best with the Cayden.
