Decided I wanted to try pellets out of the mora (.22 600mm)… so far it was on a slug only diet but given the results people post with pellets I thought why not. Anyway, degassed, reg down, aired up again and off we go.
Tried AEA 25.3gr from 905 all the way up to 980 and what can I say… not good. Maybe could have tried to make them work but initial results were so bad that I didn’t want to spend the time. Anyways, targets shot at 70y, filmed with an iPhone through a vortex crossfire HD 20-60 spotting scope:
AEA 25.3gr:
Went ahead to try AEA 22gr, set the rifle to shoot them at 965ish (my go to starting point with them). Didn’t clean the barrel and just clicked the scope to where I thought it should be… Seems like I had a small window at the beginning with no wind so you get an idea as to what the rifle is capable of… after that the wind picked up on and off. It wasn’t much, 2-3mph but switching direction a bunch. Didn’t hold for wind until the last group, just aimed center to see what it does. Also had an open tin of 18gr on the bench and accidentally shot two of those as well (the two shots going in to top right corner of the bull top left and bottom left).
