Long range five shot groups with pellets, it’s fun again...challenge for today!

[Flintsack]

In my absolutely psychotic quest to get set up and ready to win EBR, I had completely forgotten why I enjoy this hobby so much. I used to love seeing how far out I can shoot a really small five shot group. I always did this with pellets, because there were no slugs.

Then I decided, I wanted to compete in EBR. Three or four rifles later, I had become unhappy with shooting my air guns...wtf? None of the combination of rifles pellets scope and shooter we’re good enough to make it happen consistently.


I got up this morning and decided to see how small of a group I could shoot with my new red wolf 177. I have absolutely had a blast. It’s what I like to do. You can tell me that they’re not repeatable, you’re right. They’re really difficult to do. But it is so much fun when you shoot a screamer, and you get to walk out and see how small it actually is.

my challenge to you. Shoot a small five shot group at what you consider a long distance and post it today. Not your average group. Cherry pick your very best group or groups.

Here are mine from this morning. I’m shooting a red wolf at 1125 ft./s. The pellets are old Crosman CP’s from the last century. Just under 30 foot pounds, they crack every time.

My goal for this afternoon is to shoot a group smaller than the smallest of these, and post it.

enjoy your day.

At what distance were those shot?

Here's one at 60 yards from my .22 Marauder-JSB 18's at a tad over 20 ft. lbs. Six or seven shots IIRC

 

[Flintsack]

That is very small dude! Wow. Mine were shot at 100 yds. 


thanks!

Please post a pic of the pellets and the box/container they came in.

I have some DIe 6 from the 90s that is phenomenal also, but I couldn’t find it.

all of these lots of proven to be Exceptionally accurate in my old field target rifles.

Good heavens, that’s impressive with a .177.

Good to see your 100 yard groups again.



Great shooting.

Impressive groups, all! Especially for pellets! I may have to stretch the legs on my .177, but I doubt it'll do anything like that!

 

[Flintsack]

Best of the day!

I bought an Impact when they first came out because I wanted a 100yrd .177 demon. That project almost drove me to alcoholism. No more .177’s for me at 100. I just made 60 my new 100 with a .177 and have been living happily ever after. Screaming a pellet with a Red Wolf might be the answer with a .177.

I also have some CP’s from die- 6 and die- M, they both shoot extremely well, but 1 or 2 flyers “extreme fliers” out of 10 shot groups!

yes, but did you ever figure they would shoot well at over 1100 ft./s? That’s what’s freaking out! I don’t think it would work without the really extra good pellets but still.

This was my best group so far with my daystate wolverine r. Was sighting in shooting from a bucket and stixs at 40 yards. Not real far but? Target is a 10 meter and shot with nsa 12.5 .177 slugs 5 shot group 766fps

 

[Flintsack]

That rocks! I’m ordering slugs tomorrow. Those are great rifles! Any other slugs I should try?

Ive tried 11 gr griphen slugs from ebay but only at 10 yds, it’s been cold and windy, but @10 they didn’t show any thing to impress except the fps was 820

Its a .22 cal Zbroia Kozak. The capabilities this gun has continue to amaze me. Gun is more capable than my skills allow.
