I've done a fair bit of work to my Lelya to get it customized the way that I need it to be. A big part of that effort has been focussed on the barrel, where my objectives were to eliminate all flyers induced from leading, and have it provide laser beam accuracy with a select handful of heavier projectiles.
During the tuning process, I learned that there is a real fine line with the barrel's tension (via the 12mm barrel nut), which makes all of the difference with accuracy.
So today, I drove out to the mountains to test some changes that I made to my Lelya. I had the regulator set pretty low for optimizing shot count with the JSB Monster RDs at 836FPS. My spread is 1 with this tune for all but the first 3 last two (40) shots in a 290bar fill. The FX Hybrids were shooting at 830FPS and I was only getting the 24.8's out at 780FPS. The fog was THICK today. I could only see the targets clearly at 68 meters. These are 10 shot groups (my NF 1-8 scopes have parallax fixed at 125M).
Excuse the messy targets - I forgot to pack splatter targets today, so I had to get creative with the targets on my carboard from a previous zeroing session lol
FX Hybrid:
JSB Monster RDs
NSA 24.8's:
I shot these off of my bipod and padded shooting mat, no rear bag - the Lelya is very stable and well balanced with just the bipod positioned where it is. I think the FX Hybrids have an edge over the other two in my short barrel. My new Taipan shot them well today too, but the Monsters were just ferocious with the Vet!
In any case, I'm very happy that I have numerous options for ammo with that guy. The more the merrier!
