Crazy 100yd group

[Gaberossi]

On Sunday I had a meet/shoot with the local club and we had a great time. Got to try some other guns and meet some new faces. I also ended up shooting an awesome 100yd 30 shot group with my streamline. I let a few other guys take a few shots out of the gun later in the day and one guy had 3 shots touching each other. It was a real fun time and cant wait until I do it again next month.

Darn good shooting, pat yourself on the back, the gun was only part of it, congrats.

 

[Gaberossi]

Thanks a bunch guys! I am extremely proud of this accomplishment as well grateful I had the pleasure of other airgunner friends there with me to hang out with and enjoy this fun hobby. We were all down there at 100yd in awe of the grouping. It sure was fun! 

 

[Buckeye]

Wow! Great shooting, shows how good your sight alignment and trigger control is.

 

[Gaberossi]

Thanks Buckeye! One thing I forgot to mention is I do not like to use magazines, I use single shot trays. Unless I am speed shooting I don't use one. I am not sure if that would affect the groupings or not though.

Awesome shooting Gabe. Looks like the SL just keeps getting better and better as time goes by. Hanging out with friends, shooting and fishing (read spearfishing) in S. FL., for me, it doesn't get better than that. Congrats on the nice groups.

Awesome shooting!, Seriously I’d be bragging about that group @ 50yds... and I just re-read your post 30 shots! Humbling...?

 

[RenoTwolf]

Well Done!!!! 30 shots!!! Amazing!!

How'd you get that vel. with 34's? Stock Streamline?

 

[TheIceman]

Wow. That is much faster than my SL is spitting them out. Give up the goods! Tell us how you got them hauling the mail that fast!

 

[Gaberossi]

Thank you guys! Means a ton! I have gotten my rifle where it is now with the help and guidance of chuck on here. I went and got a new manometer, Huma, changed a few other things, spent hours tuning it along side chuck and we got her screaming 34gn pellets at 900fps. Also having good glass, practicing trigger control as well as breathing every single night looking through the scope, sorting pellets...wait now... I may have an addiction to this hobby ? ?. 

Also went to the range tonight because I had to get out to 100yd again. My groupings at 100 tonight. Last one is 5 shots just under an inch

I've never understood the argument that tray loading is more accurate than mag loading. Can someone make a cogent argument?

In some cases, with some guns, particularly guns whose magazines are spring loaded, self indexing kind, the magazine may tork the pellet just right and cause it to deform a bit as it’s pushed in by the probe. This can not happen with a tray, unless you are a brute and mishanle everything. It’s also less likely to happen with static magazines like the Kalibrguns or Taipans. Make sense?

Can't speak for all mag-loaded guns but on some the mag doesn't line-up the pellet real well. Result can be a de-formed pellet and reduced accuracy. My mechanically driven Cricket mag gave great accuracy but on spring-loaded mags is where you may see the line-up differences.

Amazing shooting Gabe!
