First moa at 100 with pellets, straight from the tin

[JohnL57]

I had few minutes before sunset today to shoot. Set up a target at 30 yards and one at 100, took one shot at 30 to check my zero, then picked a spot on the 100 yard target to see what the wind was doing. I thought what the heck and shot four more. It looked pretty good from the bench, so I shot a few more. I had a great four shot group then got a high flier that opened it way up. I shot one more and that one dropped right in. I suppose if I sorted for weight I might do better but I'm ok with this one
I'm shooting an Royale in .22 pushing JSB 18s at 880 fps.

Nice group. I have a Royale in .25. Great performer.

Great to see the Royales performing at such a high level. Which barrel does it have? ST or STX? 600mm?

Terrific shooting too!

Thanks! I only shoot off the bench occasionally but really enjoy it. The Royale has the smooth twist barrel-it's regged. I have no idea of the barrel length, the gun itself is fairly compact at 41 1/2'' long. it's a recent rifle, the previous owner bought it new in 2020. here's a pic. It's all about the wind at 100, I've had shots go 6" off the target with an almost undetectable gust.
