Does this sound reasonable scoring a new Pellet

Hello everyone,

Hope I can make my point and make sense. Here is the deal, I am trying out a “new” Pellet to shoot in my FX Crown MK II rifle. By new I mean this is new to this rifle, I have been shooting JSB MRD 13.43, and I now have shot a full tin ( 400 ) with the Crown. I feel that the rifle is seasoned ( if that is possible ) to the FX Pellet and now is a good test to confirm weather or not that “the Pellet” is accurate. Now let me say that I know for a fact that the rifle is accurate, so any scoring will be on the Pellet less the human factor.

Now look at the attached photo of a 25-Yard MOA target that I shot this morning, conditions near perfect, overcast sky, absolutely no wind and cool temp of 48 degrees. Also note that I used my eye patch while shooting this target. On #4 I have circled it in Blue, I will accept that this miss is on me ( the human factor ). On #5 I circled it in Red and here comes the hard part to consider and explain. I am not bragging but generally I do not miss by that much, so is this a Pellet flier or is it me, OR is it a combination??? Number 6, 17, 24 and 25, again I will accept as a miss caused by me. If I use a .177 Scoring Plug, then #6 and #25 are MOA. On #10, #21 and #22 circled in Red, I am calling these Fliers, but are they???

When you fellows are fine tuning your guns to a Pellet, how critical do you look at and score each shot? I would truly appreciate a fair and sincere response about your procedure.

Thank you,
ThomasT

The Awesome RAW LRT!

A bit of background.

I shot 25m bench rest competitively for quite a few years here in South Africa. My weapon of choice for the HV class has been a Theoben Vanquish in .20 fitted in a dedicated left hand bench stock.
B793BCE8-4DCB-48EF-9157-3E8F7D3ADD69.jpeg


This rifle has always been insanely accurate and can still compete with the best out there.

Recently the Unlimited air rifle competition has really taken off over here.

The competition is similar to EBR/RMAC, we shoot bench rested at 100m/109yards, 50m/54yards and 25m/27yards.

The speed silhouette is also shot.

I decided to start shooting the Unlimited, and my search for a capable rifle started.

My criteria was simple. The rifle needed to be extremely accurate out of the box.
I do not tinker with my rifles, so external adjustability was not needed or wanted.
The rifle had to shoot JSB 25.39 RDS accurately out to 100m. I have not gone down the slug rabbit hole, and do not see myself doing so anytime soon.

I tried a few rifles, none lived up to my criteria in my hands.

On the 10th I received an unassuming brown box from my favourite air rifle dealer. Inside was a .22 RAW HM1000x in the black laminate LRT stock. No fancy gun-case, bag or other unneeded but nice to have stuff. Just the rifle, container holding the mag and an instruction manual.
1065977B-8832-4596-9652-FEE75B8F926E.jpeg

I immediately fitted my Hawke Frontier 5-30x56 to it, filled it with air and sighted it in at 25yards.

The first 10 shots after zeroing looked like this with the Monsters.

On Saturday the 12th I had the opportunity to set it up for the Mastershot competition held this past Saturday.
This was done inside a warehouse at 25, 50 and 80m(maximum available).

A very good friend of mine, and our No1 FT shooter helped me work out the clicks to 100m. I must say he was spot on!

After shooting some groups at 25, 50 and 80, I realised this was one very special rifle. The groups were shot with pellets from the tin, and looked like this.
25m 3 shots
C0F52B6A-A557-4FC9-B73B-8E83725BB3DF.jpeg

50m 5 shots.
6977F635-9E42-481F-B017-235AD248DAFE.jpeg

80m 5 shots
224B2754-7FC5-470C-95D2-D6032AE5AECD.jpeg


Saturdays competition started with the 100m. Two cards are shot at all 3 distances.

My first cards total was 229/250. I managed to shoot probably my best 100m group ever, with 5 shots measuring 15mm center to center.
6315CDEE-359D-4EA1-81D2-C15E75C7F278.jpeg

Second card I managed a 214.

In the 50m I shot a 233 and 228.
In the 25m I shot a 242 and 245 for 4th place.

The RAW helped me win the 100, 50 and 3 Gun.
AE6C0F15-79B1-46EC-AA7F-6934028B8C9B.jpeg


I simply cannot praise this rifle enough!
I took it out of the box, cleaned the barrel, fitted a scope and managed some very good groups before winning the Mastershot competition with it.

To the guys at RAW/Airforce, thank you for building a rifle that is a match winner straight from the box!

A special thanks to Martin who still sets up, and checks every rifle before it leaves the factory. You care and expertise shows in how this rifle is performing.

This one is going to stay with me a long, long time!

Tuning  Carbon Fiber Sleeve Install Guide + Test

I am running a three (possibly four) part series on Barrel Harmonics on the American Airgunner blog. Part 2 is all about installing/testing a carbon fiber sleeve. Part 3 (coming soon) will be a test of harmonic tuners.

I wanted to document the process and tests since there isn't a whole lot out there on this subject. I installed the sleeve on my trusty Air Arms S510 as a proof of concept rather than a test of any one manufacturer's product. Results were VERY...actually, I won't spoil it ;)


Here's Part 1 (a harmonics primer) for those interested.

New RAW chassis - disappointing 1st day

Picked up a new RAW hm1000x chassis rifle in .22 yesterday along with 5 tins of the FX 25.4 grn pellets. No moderator version, just thread protector.
Mounted an Arken EP 5 5x25 on a set of American Rifle co rings I had laying around.
Pulled a little Balistol through the barrel to clean it up and headed to the range today.

Cool, upper 30’s today. Little to no wind.
I did not bring my chrony, I did not bring any type of muzzle device. Gun, tank, pellets, targets, and a range bag.
Set up on the 100 yard range. 1st shot was on the board was able to adjust scope from there. From here it went downhill.

I was lucky to hit the paper. From everything I read, I was not expecting this. No groups. Might as well have been shooting a shotgun. I know its new, season a barrel a little, settle the regs. I got so frustrated shooting paper that I ended up shooting at the broken clay bird pieces on the berm Just so I could see where the pellets where going.

No pattern, one shot would be close, next left 3 inches and low 5, next right 12” and low 10”, next high and so on. Almost like I was clipping a moderator. No barrel device installed other than the thread protector.

I’m actually hoping it’s turbulence at the muzzle being a bare barrel.

When I got home I kept the gun cold and did run it through the chrony — right where it should be, 946 high, 935 low for 14 shot string. Average 940.

Thoughts? I sure could use some suggestions.

Do you guys think this is a scam?

I was looking at getting the umarex notos pistol. I Google searched and no one reputable has any even umarex USA, but tacticool from Louisiana has some in stock. I did a chat thing with someone who says they’re in stock, but when I check their YouTube, Instagram, Twitter it says axiom web designers or such. I will call in the am before work its hard for me to believe they have the pistol when no one else does. It just seems weird that he has the pistol for $200 $60 to express ship and no one else has it.

Starting 100 yd. range

Yesterday I lifted my dock out of the water. This morning first ice on the lake. 3F8800B9-16D1-46C7-96DC-785D09447555.jpeg. Look closely you can see the ice creeping across. Depressing time of year. Right below me where I took this pic. is my gun room.
Definitely going to put 100 ft. range up. I can hit from my room if I build an opening to shoot on the lake. Have all my guns at my fingertips. I have 3 portable traps and the remote target system which holds 10 targets and allows you to remotely use one at a time any distance away. 5B522768-B275-4CCE-AF00-993934C06100.jpeg. Looking forward to the 54 against the others. Crow

Raccoons have been stealing my oranges, so I had to grab the Edgun leshiy 2. They are rather difficult to hunt where I live. It seems like the ones in rural areas are very skittish. I have a timeshare at a lake community and the raccoons there are easy to kill in comparison.

I love this Edgun leshiy 2. One will always be in my collection!

More raccoons to come! The 40+ pound boar is still on the prowl.

Howdy all -

I am currently fooling around with a Crosman Shockwave…trying to get it to perform close to my expectations of a projectile firing arm. However, after some digging, and research, a Weirauch is kind of more what I am after. I like the Diana’s, it don’t honesty require that power. I’m looking for a 25y hole puncher and group maker. Weirhauch seems to be the answer around here.

An HW80SL is under $500 shipped to my door at the moment….trying to not just buy it. I will likely pursue it soon though…I have a new breach seal coming for the Crosman, some cleaning pellets, a couple different flavors of .22, and some shimming to do to the rear of my scope to see if there is any hope for this Wally World special.

Thanks for any input y’all can think of!

- Brent
