My Brocock/Brk Commander XR Magnum Cerekote in .22 arrived yesterady and I've been spending a lot of time trying to tune it and test all sorts of pellets and slugs at 50m.
I did a lot of shooting my new Brocock/Brk Commander XR Magnum in .22 trying to find best tune for best pellet. So, 25,39 seemed, from what I observed, the optimum weight for pellets (so far). I tried JSB 25.39 redesigned, Grands, Shallow, Deep and Hades, but guess what my gun liked so far (as far as pellets go, slugs are next to test): JTS DeadCenter 25.39. The also looked the cleanest and no damaged skirts. (and they come in a screw-on tin).
Here's the unbelievable practically ZERO SD with these JTS Airguns #DeadCenter 25.39 domed pellets. None of the others that I mentioned gave me a SD like this! And they SEEMED (SO FAR) to be the most accurate at 50m , but I've had the gun for 2 days and I'm still testing it. I'll likely try JSB BEAST 34 grain tomorrow (Sunday)
So far I've done most of my shooting with a Buck-Rail.com moderator, I have a Ronin and Yokozuna from Donny Donnyfl Du and I am expecting a Ryu coming on Monday, again from Donny Donnyfl Du. I noticed no POI changes from the moderators, and the Brocock/Brk Commander XR Magnum in .22 was not very loud without a moderator.
I put a Saber Tactical ARCA/Picatinny Rail on the lower pic rail of the Commander as I use a tripod frequently and also wanted to protect the bottle from upward torsion.
Given that my Brocock/Brk Commander XR Magnum (Cerekote) is more expensive than my FX Panthera 600 Dual Bottle, I expect a LOT from the Commander. I get 68 FPE from Zan 30.5g .218 slugs at about 1007 fps from the Panthera and I have some doubt that the Commander XR Magnum can do that! We'll see within next few days.
Here's the unbelievable chrono from the Commander XR Magnum with 25.39 grain JTS Dead Center pellets. The other chrono with 68 FPE is from the Panthera 600mm with Zan 30.5g .218 slugs.
