OK, after trying out the QYS wadcutters I went back to the pellet my HW44 likes the best - the H&N Barracuda FT 9.57, straight from the tin - no sorting. Here's the result:

Hello everyone,
Offering this target for my One-Hole entry for today. Shot this target and got two true 5-Shots in One Hole scores, see #2 and #4, early this morning. Number 4 I believe is the best 5 shots into one hole that I have ever shot with this Pistol. The second photo shows one of the pellets for a reference.
Range: Indoor 15-feet
Pistol: Snowpeak PP800R .177 caliber
Scope: UTG Bugbuster 3-9x32
Pellets: H&N Finale Match Heavy 8.18gr Wadcutter

Hello everyone,
Today’s One-Hole Challenge shot target is a bit better than my last one
. Bulls 1 and 2 not bad with all black One-Holes, but I improved on Bulls #3, #4 and #5 . Pellet size holes on #4 and #5 and this makes me smile .

Hello @rsfrid
Well I decided to shoot one more target today and with light winds I thought it would be a good time to try the One-Hole Challenge at 25-Yards. Shot 5 times at the four outer rings and 10 times at the inner ring. Not the smallest “one holes” but will take this anytime.
Range: Outdoor 25-Yards
Rifle: JTS Airacuda MAX .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: JTS Dead Center 18.1gr

nice ! wind here is from the lake today 10/15 mph meaning it travels across the lake and up the cliff ,crosses my range and continues up to the top about 20 feet higher.

Hello @beerthief
I live on the back side of a hill here on Sam Rayburn lake and my wind conditions really get crazy sometimes. Ole Sam is so large that it creates it's own weather system and I can have 20mph gust when it is dead calm one mile down the road. I look at the reported weather every day, but I walk out to one of my targets to really assess the conditions.

I'm jealous of your weather and being able to walk outside and shoot. I have to drive 10 minutes to club range. That's why I shoot in basement most of time. Nice tight groups by the way. Have you tried teathering your gun for more shots? That thing does so well, I hate to see you sell it just cause it only gets 30 shots.

Hello again @rsfrid
Well I sold my big air tank when I though I was getting out of airguns, sure wish now I had kept it. Anyway all my other rifles had the 480 air tank and would get 90 up to 110 shots per fill and looking for another rifle with the bottle.
This little Airacuda doesn't shoot as tight of groups as my Brocock did but I am really impressed with how accurate it is. No excuses but on the No. 1 target and the center target I had two fliers and I knew it was going to happen because when I loaded those pellets there was extra pressure required. Yesterday when I had such a good shoot, several times a pellet would be a bit hard to load and I would aim at one of the sighters and sure enough, it would go off center.

Why not get a guppy tank and regulator? It would be cheaper than selling your JTS and buying something else. Just a thought.

Hello @SimplemannImpressive shooting marksmanship
Thank you sir. I shoot a lot of paper and really enjoy it when the stars align and I get a good card.

A bit late in day, but I've been working the Atomic pistol. Now I just went back to ole Trusty, my HW44 and the H&N Baracuda FTs. Got a couple one hole groups and a close one.
