D48 .22 @ 62-yards

mcoulter · Mar 11, 2018

I put a target out at my yard's furthest distance (roughly 62 yards) and threw some JSB 18s down range at it not expecting too much. After some sight in shots to get holdover I found myself grouping pretty well:

I had a chrony out and it was shooting a respectable 690 fps with the 18s.

It's time to place an order for a few more tins

This is just an example of why not everyone needs to spend 2K to have a totally capable airgun.Bravo!

mcoulter · Mar 11, 2018

Thanks! The next challenge is getting groups like this consistently...

1BadDart · Mar 11, 2018

Good shooting and with a 12x scope too. I chronographed my 48 the other day, with JSB 18.13’s it averaged 720 over ten shots. If this weather ever breaks I’m going to stretch it out.

intenseaty22 · Mar 12, 2018

Man, I sure would love to have a little more room at home (& a lot more time) Nice shooting!

Butch · Mar 12, 2018

Mine shoots the JSB 18 and 15.89 gr equally good. If you haven’t tried the 15.89 yet give them a try also. A lot of times the 15.89 group better than the 18s.

mark404 · Mar 12, 2018

give some H&N FTT's a try if you haven't already, all of my D 48's and 52's love the H&N's

mcoulter · Mar 12, 2018

Thanks for the pellet recommendations. What size FTTs have you used @mark404?

So far the 18s have been most consistent in the JSB line...

"mark404"give some H&N FTT's a try if you haven't already, all of my D 48's and 52's love the H&N's

Mine shoots FTT's best, 5.53 mm head, it also shoots JSB 15.89's well too. I have two almost full tins of 5.55 mm FTT's I'd make someone a deal on.

mcoulter my advice would be to buy some sampler packs, I did this when I bought my 34 in .177. It saved me a bunch of money compared to what I spent on .22 pellets for the 48.

mark404 · Mar 13, 2018

all of mine shoot the 14.66gr 5.53 best ( lucky for me )
I agree with BadDart, get a sampler pack
be sure to clean the barrel and before you try the H&N pellets because H&N uses a harder alloy

markfina · Mar 13, 2018

It's to bad that H&N doesn't have a sampler pack that has all the different size heads for 22 it would sure make dialing in your gun a lot more economical. I would like to try all three in my RWS Diana 350 Magnum.I have been shooting JSB 18.13 and 15.89 Premier 14.3

1BadDart · Mar 13, 2018

I didn't realize that H&N didn't make a field target sampler pack in .22 like they do in .177.
