That would put that pellet at about 920 fps out of that rifle. If that were the case that group would be a one in fifty group.
Show us a ten dimes target from that rifle.

That rifle is packed to go to a friend, but I do have a couple other contenders for that challenge.
The FPS you say sounds about right. Gamo claims 1300 with alloy pellets.
I don't get what ya mean by "one in fifty group" You mean it would take me 50 times to do it? No way, maybe 1 in 10 at worst.
Just waiting for a string of good days to practice, set up the cameras, etc.
30 shots is a lot, but I've done 60+ shot events before, I think I can handle that part.
Just a matter of recording it.
I did this, 10 shots, with a $150 gamo "silent cat" .177, benchrest outdoors. Give me enough time on a fair day, I can repeat that regularly.
I hope to break Guinness record for longest air-rifle shot before I kick the bucket. About 150-meters if I recall. Requires open-sights and a very light .177 pellet.
In spite of all my pretty wallpaper, that's just a lot of talk until I do it.
But proved more than once I'm a pretty good shot for someone who really still feels like a rookie shooter.
Sorry readers for the side-bar. Pretty sure the OP's question's been answered by now.
