Broke out old faithful (.25 Brocock Bantam Sniper HR) to let her breath a bit today. Shot at 22 and 52 yards off my tripod. Tried some RWS Superdome 31 grain pellets at 22 yards and the groups looked too wide for my taste from such a close distance. I was getting strange random 2”-3 ½” drops on close range shots. Totally unacceptable. The top and middle were targets shot with .25 RWS Superdome 31 grain pellets. Maybe they shoot well out of another type of gun or at another speed. I didn’t set up a chronograph today. I may do that another day.
The circles and red arrows are showing those weird shots that dropped for who knows what reason. I thought I aimed at the wrong target the first time it happened. The bottom target is a 22 yard group with JSB King Heavy 33.95 grain pellets that I also revisited today. I haven’t shot those in a while.
Revisited .25 H&N Baracuda 30.86 grain pellets. I forgot that they fit loosely in the mag and can get hung up and damaged on the dome or skirts when indexing the next shot if I’m not aware of how the gun is positioned. They group ok close range (22 yards).
A couple 52 yard groups with the JSB King Heavy 33.95 diabolo pellets.
Relaxing evening.
