RTI Prophet Performance .22 with cheap ammo

[EPG]

I have been shooting JSB 18.13s and H&N 21s with my RTI PP .22 - tight sub-dime sized 10 shot groups consistently with reg pressure about 93 and hammer spring backed out flush. For kicks yesterday I tried a few shots with lighter weight, cheaper cost pellets that I have on hand. This barrel is insane! I didn’t touch any scope adjustments and it shot the 1st five shots using H&N 15g Baracudas on target - at a screaming 991fps. These 5 were within a dime - barrel didn’t seem to need to “adjust” much. Certainly not as tight as the 1 hole groups I get with 18.13s at 45 yards, but this was 991fps !

So, then I threw some CPHP 14.3s in it, and shot 10 shots. After the 1st 3 or 4 shots they started grouping! At 1,025 fps!! And they were dead center on target. This barrel seems to be able to keep any pellet stable - at any speed - even the rock hard, short length CPHPs at over 1,000fps.

I’m gonna play with it and see if I can shoot a 10 shot group within a dime at 45 yards with CPHPs going over 1,000 fps.

It’s cool to have a gun this simple and with these ease of adjustment that can shoot anything well. Blasting beer cans at 100 yards shooting cheap WalMart ammo over 1,000 fps - with quarter sized accuracy - crazy !!

Very cool and fun to sling those lighter pellets so fast and accurately! I've tested JSB 18gr @ 1050fps out of my RAW @ 100yds...was very accurate (no wind)! Being able to sling the cheaper CPHP that fast and accurately is even more fun and impressive!

my 1st Taipan Veteran i had from Ukraine with CZ barrel would shoot the

cpd 14.3gr very accurately @ 1010fps out to 50yrds.

yes it did prefer the 18.1 jsb, but what fun it was to shoot pest birds with !!!

enjoy your rig !!

Yes sir...I've noticed that from my RTI PP 22 also. I just love the RTI. So much so I ordered 2 compacts (22 and 25) last week. One if them is being delivered Monday.

Don't let go of that.

That’s awesome! This gun is definitely on my “short list” of guns for the future!

have a few of those cheap pellets but cant beat the accuracy of the fx pellets and shooting groups i just cant see not trying for the best -smallest groups i can get will try the cheaper pellets for fun to see how they do

"RTI Prophet Performance .22 with cheap ammo" $800 for a rifle, $500 for glass and $500-$1500 for a compressor to load the rifle. I don't see it as a cheap 22rf alternative. But they are quiet and you can mail order everything .....now! I am still shopping and investigating.

My .22 Prophet Compact with CZ loves them too! I doubt that fast but at 960fps do well. Been super impressed with my RTI also. Between FX 16gr and the CPHP also don't need to change my scope at all.
