Seem like i am also a pretty decent long distance pellet slinger.
After playing a little today with the slugs, and the wind dying down a little, i figured why not try pellets too.
But i did change from 86 M to the even Steven 80 M distance.
Mind you, you still had to pay attention to the wind, at least if you wanted to hold all of your shots on the 2" target.
As it can be seen in the picture that was also true with the slugs.
Also you have to remember my wind indicators are leaves on trees at targets and then the tall grass in the field.
So i paused long range for a hour focussing on 50 M where a shot a 50 yard BR paper, but i am not going to share that as really it was no good at all.
So when the wind had died down a little more i changed to 80 M again for the remainder of my targets, and i quickly learned that the speed i shot 50 M with, it was no good at 80 M.
Actually i ended up shooting the JSB heavy pellets as speeds i dident even think worked for them, but at 80 M it was sort of OK.
Sort off, CUZ i still had the wind to work with and the ever changing POI on my Maverick i have to chase around with the scope.
BUT ! all things considering i am still pretty happy with the 400 slugs and few 100 pellets i spent at the range today.
I still wish i was able to shoot heavier stuff, even if it was just the next up caliber of .22
