Good group! I took my RAW .25 to the range Saturday and set up four targets at 100 yards shooting NSA 34 grain slugs. RAW's sure are a pleasure to shoot. Best was 1.483 ctc

Nice shooting Bubbles. I sold my .177 TM1000 last year and have been regretting it ever since...

I was seriously considering selling this RAW to fund a Slayer purchase. It had been in the safe for two years untouched and I bought some NSA slugs to shoot to see how it would do with them before I sold it. I think I will keep it for a while!

You can say that again.
Congrats Bubbler!
I have a RAW HM1000x HP .22 and it likes the JSB Monster RD 25g, but I have not yet tried it out at 100 yards. Your shooting gives me hope and something to 'dream' about!

The gun was tuned by Ken Hicks. After shooting that group I went over to my permission and was tagging starlings at 67 yards off the top of the silo railings.
This is nothing compared to what others are doing but I think you walk before you run
now the down side to the 30 cal shooting 50 grains is there is a bit of a rainbow to the trajectory. I’m thinking a 22 or 25 slug gun would do better BUT I’m also concerned about high velocity slugs carrying further then I am comfortable with.
I expect to likely get into slugs but I’m keeping my powder dry for the moment. Seems the slug gun to have is the impact but I’m having trouble convincing myself I want a none traditional style gun. So I wait .

I’d say keep the RAW. Don’t get caught up in all this “flat shooting” BS. If you’re zero’d at 50 yards with the 50.1 JSB, your drop is about 13 inches at 100 yards. If you get a gun shooting the 44.75 JSBs at 950 FPS, your drop is 11 inches. Not really worth it now is it?
I’ve been saying in here for years now that shooters get all excited about “flat shooters” when the reality is that no pellets shoot flat. And if you go higher than 950 FPS, you incur degraded wind performance, which is a proven FACT. If you’re going to shoot slugs at much greater distances it’s a different calculus...

BB - That is some fine shooting and a fine rifle. Hard to beat a Theoben / RAW for simplicity and accuracy. Was at Roz's a few years ago when Martin came by to test his prototype for the.30. He was testing foe accuracy, and we were able to, consistently, hit a 2" spinner @ 100 yds. Remember telling him it was an interesting rifle - " but that will never catch on......DUH!
Dennis - Do you have the poly barrel in your .25?
THX to both for sharing.

Is that goofy looking Shroud on the HM1000 x LRT removable or is that fixed on that barrel?

The rear of it is pressed on. You can get it off though. I just did a whole bunch of modifications to mine. It’s a bit quieter but with a high pitch twaaang. I tried everything to make it quiet without the twang. No luck. I sealed ports, opened ports, used three different baffling materials, combined them, etc... couldn’t get rid of the twang. So strange. I’m going to have a shroud/moderator made for mine. Stoti

I have to chime in here and say this is dead on. As a old high power rifle shooter who transitioned from M-14’s to a rolling block BPCR 45/70 at the thousand the rainbow is true. You can shoot anything under rainbow once you learn where it is

I too got on the RAW HM1000 wagon a couple months back and they are shooters. Mine is also in 25 and the JSB 34 hold a pretty consistent quarter size group at 100 yards. There may be a few floaters outside the quarter a little bit but the bulk of shots will eat a quarter sized hole in no time.
