What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

I’ve been tinkering with my .22 Taipan standard Veteran 1, swapping barrels, installing a plenum and having a lot of fun In the process. It was a laser with the stock barrel shooting 18 and 20 grain pellets. It even did well with 22 grainers too. Then I found a couple used barrels, a 550mm and a 700mm, which I installed so I could get a feel for what they could do. The 550 was stacking 22 grain AEA and JTS’s at 50Y but shot the heavier 25 and 28 grain MRD pellets poorly. Then I added a 2” plenum to the 700 barrel. Here are some numbers and the quick target I shot today with the 700 @ 50Y just to get some crono numbers. I think this combo has some potential to shoot heavier lead.

It was fairly calm here with 3-6 winds. I’ll report back after I take it out to our range in some crazy winds. That will prove out it’s real potential. Yes, I think the JSBs are the ones I will focus on going forward.

I love testing ...but my wallet hates how many pellets i shot during these test
Like how the grands are grouping. I usually shoot the 22.07's , but i still have a few tins of grands left to experiment with.
How are they grouping at 100?
I Still need to find a rifle that shoots Beasts really well..tried them at absurd speeds that did kinda well...but haven't repeated the drill
Will be shooting later today ...may bring some grands with me

I’ve never had luck with the 34g Beasts. I can’t shoot 22s at 100Y because I can’t see the tiny holes in ANY scope.

I did some quick 5 round groups at 20 yards with my Revere. I couldn’t remember how it shoots with different pellets.

Finally made it out to the desert and got to shoot out to 100. Used JSB’s and JTS's since my pellet order didn’t arrive in time.
Shot the 33.95 at 50 yards to see how it grouped. Not too bad to be honest, though it wasn't great at 100.
Then I shot JTS Dead Center’s, 25.39 at 100. I used the 75 yard EBR target.

Found this target on here, I think it’s my new favorite. Wish it didn’t have the massive “20” in the center though.

I'm very partial to .177 JSB 13.43 with the same results as you show...25 yards. My favorite and standard for my HW97K and RWS Diana 48.

Shot the 15 yard target at 20 yards, so a 1/4” smaller circle at 20. A few things I took away:
1. It’s expensive to shoot comparatively. 120 pellets with a .25 cal adds up.
2. Shooting it all in one go is taxing. I found myself being lazy with some of my shots. I double loaded once and sent it. It shot the bull with both pellets on the target directly below where I was aiming (circled in pink).
3. Having to air up during the course of fire was interesting. Also the round count possibly resulting in minor points of impact changes was something I’m now conscious about.

Thank you guys for keeping Thomas T’s thread going. I never really thought about it before but paper really does tell the whole story doesn’t it.
