Pretty happy with how the HPX is going. 
Some N50 pellet cards today
- Thread starter thomasair
- Start date
A 250 16X card is low score.........
WOW !
That is an outstanding showcase of the rifles potential in capable hands. Well done sir!

I’d be on cloud 9 to have just a single 250 card let alone 4. You sure know how to amp up my anticipation.

I was thinking the same thing Tim.
I was trying to think of how many practice N50 cards I have shot in the last 18-24 months ( I think between 150-200 approximately) and only managed “ONE” 250 card with my Anschutz 1907 .22 rimfire with tuner. And this was with the help of a Randolph front mechanical rest and good rear bag.
Mike’s (CC) Boss .25 is going to play this year, and I’m going to eventually convert it to a .30 cal. Shooting 44 and 50 grain pellets. Have had several in the low to mid 240 range with the RAW and Safari, but no “250’s” with air rifles.
No complaints, will keep working at it in 2023.

That’s great shooting Mike. Got to get back in the game this summer, order some more targets and get serious
.
I would be happy just to get into the 240’s!

One time, and one time only, I shot a 247.
It was 50 yards outdoors at Wyandot approx 2 years ago, maybe 3 years. We shot in the valley at the bottom of the hill, and it was dead calm air.
Sticking around the high 220s to low 230s now though due to lousy wind reading skills and tripping the sear instead of waiting....... so yeah, I am with you on the 240 dream!

Thanks….You guys should attend the N50 nationals next year. I guarantee you’ll have a great time.
Here’s some pics of the pellets I shot. I got them from Pyramyd about a month ago. They are the deep cavity that allegedly are terrible. I shot them directly from the tin. There is nothing wrong with them.

NICE!!!!!!!
Better get rid of that hunk quick before you wear the barrel out and get a 249. Don't worry I'll sacrifice and take it off your hands

I would love to attend, but way two far from NC. I’m 1000 percent certain we all would have a blast, and that’s never an issue. I live vicariously thru the attendees, and I’m ok with the virtual informal challenges and competition on AGN. I do acknowledge there is nothing like f2f attendance.
Besides, the “Admiral” would not be crazy about me going and having too good of a time with all of you enablers.
I’d love to attend the Nationals too but that’s a haul from Ohio. We gave up on flying during Covid so it’s ground or not.

Awesome cards Mike.
I bet the future owner will be without proper sleep time counting the days to get it

Tim…get together with another guy and share the drive. It will go fast. I don’t fly to any matches anywhere, either. Too much stuff.

Taos, Angelfire and Santa Fe are just a couple of hours further down the road from Raton. The opportunity to visit scenic and historic locations may just get your spouse to say "yes" to a little road trip.

If it were just me Lou, I'd stay in one of the cabins. However, just started discussions with my wife this AM and that would not be her thing. Are there motel / hotel chains nearby?

Mike,
That's just insane although it looks like the first Card is a 258-9?? I didn't realize N50 allowed a bonus shot per Card? The new Barrels and valve system seem to be the Ticket you been looking for! Looks like in N50 if your not shooting a new HPX your looking at the Backend of the Lead Dog!
Good Luck

There are also very nice cabins available on site. I think they are 150-200 per night. Check out their website. There are also hotels in Raton.
Mark….ya, that shot on bull 25 was actually my first shot on that card. Even though it was still a 10, it annoyed me….and after I finished the card I re shot it. I didn’t score the reshot bull though.

all good, The new configuration seems to be able to compete in N50 against the RF Crowd with Pellets! No doubt when the wind kicks a bit harder the RF's should have a slight edge. Regardless I believe you have the N50 crowd's attention.Continued Success with your Platform, your hard work shows in the results.
