When the moon the stars the shooter and the ammo all align, magic...RW 177 @ 155

[Flintsack]

After shooting my red wolf late last night at long distance, I was pretty excited to see how conditions would be today. It happens I took the day off, and for the first three hours this morning it was absolutely perfect conditions.

I was shooting the red wolf 17730 foot pounds with Nielsen slugs, at 155 yards.

to say it was amazing would be an understatement. There are not that many firearms that can shoot groups like this. This had to be one of the best shooting days of my life.

With this ammo I figured I could shoot a 1 inch group at 155 yards. I shot two of them today, that’s mind boggling. And the reality is I had a chance at a couple groups that would’ve been much smaller, With a little luck on shot number five.

Anyways, check these two groups out.

I was trying to test ammo and compare the 12.5 to the 15. They are both fantastic see below. All of the groups are five shots at 155 yards, a couple were 10. That’s a lot of dead varmints.

Looking very good... I haven't seen a half dollar coin in years... Nice shooting!

I haven't seen many air rifles in .22, .25, or .30 cals @ 30 fpe that can shoot groups that small @ 155 yards. For a .177 cal that's truely very impressive for the shooter & the rifle.

Incredible shooting, congratulations! That’s so amazing to be able to do that at 100 yards, much less at 155 yards! Almost beyond belief, but there it is. That had to have been the best shooting session ever! And more to come. Thanks for sharing this.

I’ve been shooting the 12.5’s too they are very impressive! Nice shooting

 

[Flintsack]

Thanks guys, it was an absolute blast. This rifle, with this level of Projectile, is beyond anything I could’ve previously imagined. To get the kind of conditions I had today, on a day off...it’s hard to fathom.

I kept watching my shots snuggling next to the other ones absolutely in awe.

The Daystate electronic technology is fantastic.

You continue to impress me! Your abilities speak for them self! I am presently shooting my pulsar hp with the 12.5 slugs but just a little short of the 155 but also my results exceeded my experience with the gun. Thanks for opening my world to the 177 with the nsa slugs! I am just enjoying the calm before the storms. Thanks again for sharing

@flintsack, you keep raising the bar. Mighty impressive groups at 155 yards. Which scope and what magnification are you using? 

 

[Odoyle]

HOLEYCRAP 155 YARDS WITH A 177-!!!

... and for the first three hours this morning it was absolutely perfect conditions.

A fly crossing the slug path could have spoiled those groups
Amazing groups, amazing shooting skills, congrats!

Right now I have a March 2.5 to 25 with hashmarks. I put that on because I wanted to keep things light. I am significantly thinking about changing and putting one of my higher magnification Marches on it.

Mike, thanks. Before your posts... I would be hard pressed to believe a .177 could reach out that far, let alone group, like your grouping. Keep pushing the limits.

I appreciate it. I probably would not have even tried this without the input from Soren. At least I wouldn’t have tried it right away. Pretty cool

And the red wolf is truly an amazing machine.

Nice shooting, but "a group"?… With airguns, anything under 10 shots is not a group, It's just a sheer luck.

5 is easy, but 10… Here is an example:

what distance were you shooting at in the Video above?

[Flintsack]

Obviously you did some nice shooting in the video. That said, you’re shooting a 25 caliber at approximately 2/3 the distance I am shooting a 177.

And you’re telling me, that my groups are luck. I actually did a less than a 1 inch group twice on the same day and I posted some 10 shot groups also.

i’ll tell you what, beat my two groups, both under an inch, on the same day, in a 3 hour shooting session, with a 17 caliber air rifle, at 155 yds. I’ll send you a check for $1000 US.

Kind of insulting to put it mildly, to jump on someone else’s post and tell them that they’re shooting is luck.

YOU Put the fifth shot of a 155 yard group within 7/8 of an inch of all the others. At that point you will absolutely know that it’s not luck.

that said, I like to keep things positive. That’s how I live my life.

if you have a good positive input to add to a post of mine, have at it. Otherwise go TROLL someone else.

Here are 3 10 shot groups shot with a pellet gun, in 25 caliber, at 100 yards, in 2012. That’s almost 10 years ago, shooting an analog, unregulated pellet gun. Without 34 grain pellets, and supersonic speed’s.

@hande, really good shooting. And I do get that it's easier to group five as oppose to ten shots. But easier for whom? In my case I know that after five shots at any distance. My poor technique makes for bigger groups. Some are just looking for M.O.🐿.
