TX 200 at 100 yards. Part 2.

[drpietrzak]

So it was a slow afternoon here. I picked up some Griffen 10 grain slugs to go with the JSB Knockouts and Zan 10 gr, and 13.?? grain. I also had AA 8.44s, JSB Exact Heavies in 10.34 among others. Over several trials it has been very s consistent.

Note I shoot primarily at 50' and 100'. I know springers are not supposed to shoot those distances. I know Springers are not supposed to shoot slugs either. However, I shoot paper and steel so nothing is wounded. I also have a strong social science background so I don't listen very well. I take things under advisement. Information is useful but testing is paramount.

So far the results have been consistent over several trials.

1. At 100 yards I shoot Zan 10 grain slugs consistently the best. About 3 inches on overage.

2. At 100 yards I shoot JSB Exact Heavies in 10.34 second best. About 3.5" to 4".

3. At 100 yards I shoot AA 8.44 Diabolo pellets in third place. About 4 to 5 inches.

Zan 13.??, Knockout and 10gr Griffin slugs are not in the game. So far all others have not faired well... they are also ran.

Tonights 12 inch square plate with JSBs. Tonight's 6 inch plate with Zan 10 grain.

Much appreciate your testing of pellets and slugs with the TX200. I have a TX200 on the way and have similar desires to accomplish. Thank you for sharing and keep posting your findings.

As others noted it has to be calm. I am using a set up much like my ARA Factory Class rig with free recoil as well. The stock placement and bubble level are exceptionally important. Trigger control is hardest for me.

Love it! We all have to determine what's possible.

(Dont tell me what I can't do!)

Oh, what app were you using? Was it free or paid?

"I know springers are not supposed to shoot those distances"

I kinda figure if the gun is 800fps+/- and 100yards is 300 feet . Why cant it make it in any good reason reasonable shots? Atleast a 9" paper plate min., Right?

Energy helps between just denting a crosman tin at 100 or punching a hole through it..lol.. like a hw dents and gamo makes swiss cheese out of one..
