Tried another few N50 cards ( “in the rings" slug challenge) today at 100 yards. Windy again, and with a head wind and switching right to left and left to right. Have a pic below with my Kestrel at the bench, 3.8 mph at the time. Had two flags out and I was shooting the Anschutz 1907 .22 LR. I did forget my Tuner, and I think it made a bit of a difference accuracy-wise. I know in ideal conditions I have tested with / without the tuner at 50 yards with good ammo, and the rifle does shoot better with the Tuner.
I highlighted the individual "bulls" where I shot a good group/score. The RWS100 40g ammo is pretty good, and equal to the RWS50 ammo I believe. ANA sent me a brick and I am lot testing the RWS100 a bit, and need to get back to them with my notes.
Top row - #4 bull needs some explanation. I inadvertently thought I had a 'do-over' if I hit the box line, but as I re-read the rules, no do-overs which make sense. There are six shots on that bull, and one went far left into the #3 box. Other than that, I was happy with my wind reading. Shot a 2050, but a DQ in my mind.
Third row from top - Good row, no complaints and was the best score I could manage today. Shot a 2100.
Top Row - Lapua Center-X ammo. Not as accurate as the RWS100 ammo, but I did squeeze out a 500 and a 400 score on two bulls. Shot an 1825.
Bottom row - RWS100 - Had two 500's and one 400. Shot a 2075
Mike N still has me beat on all four of my cards today with that Thomas! That gun is starting to annoy me. LOL - JK, but pretty amazing how an air gun can stack up pretty good with some RF 100 yard testing for this "slugs in the rings" 100 yard challenge. Would not even try this with pellets.
If at all possible, would like to see some other BR shooters give this a try with your RF rifles. It really is fun and is the only way I will shoot at 100 yards right now. My two HP .22 air rifles were in the 1200-1300 scoring range, very humbling.
As an aside, I feel that IF....my .22 HP air guns could manage shooting a commercially available slug in the 38-40g weight category, I would score a bit higher. Thus far, I have not seen any posts of RAWs or Red Wolf .22 HP's shooting heavier slugs in the 40G range; either with folks casting their own slugs or finding any commercially available.
Just checking an 8-shot group at 100 yards with RWS 100. POA was the X-dot. Almost MOA, except for -- you guessed it, my last shot.

yards of course!
. I added 1/2 the diameter of the 177 to my center to center measurement, to make sure I was under the inside of the outer line. I measured all of the 50s separately. It was really pretty easy. I had no shots that would’ve missed the square entirely.
