Three five shot groups with Atomic XR

Thank you gentlemen… I work at a custom wood shop and spent this week milling 25, 12’ x 6” pieces of oak to required dimensions. But only after being softened up by twice that many pieces of poplar the previous week. So a little shooting after work is relaxing as I just sit there and shoot.

Good groups with those CPHPs'. Goes to show to never underestimate the average sporting goods/big box pellets available locally.

The Atomic XR is a sweet PCP, that it can accurately shoot CPHPs for plinking and pesting is great. I like and am blessed with the opportunity to shoot a lot. So sub $7 vs. $20 per tin? No brainer for me... For my pesting applications, in the Atomic XR. CPHPs have become my go to pellet. Still love the JSBs though.

Nice!

Now I want to buy some of the "new" CPHPs to try! I can't find any locally, still just the "original" tin.

Both the old and new CPHPs shoot the same out of my Atomic XR… I would not pass them up because of older packaging.

@ZedCee, nice grouping… Just came in from some plinking and target shooting. At forty yards it can still shoot dimes if I do my part. About to go do a little pesting. Took these last three shots at 25 yards. Followed by two shots at 40 yards. I say she’s ready to go.

what kinda speeds does the atomic shoot at

CPHPs at 725 fps avg., TP on high
CPHPs at 589 fps avg., TP on mid setting.
Did not chrono the lowest setting. Which I will attempt this weekend. At 50 yards the CPHPs are making over 8 FPE at the high setting. Plenty for squirrels and pest birds.
