The wind was low this morning (weather report says 3-4 mph) so I shot a couple 30 yard challenge targets. First my P35-177. It seems to need at least half a dozen warmups with H&N Batacuda FTs which give me the best scores. I had a string of 5 or 6 targets over 190 with it going over the last week or so. But not this morning. 182. Disappointed I decided to try my P35-22. It had sat for at least 2 weeks. I'll post the 3 warmups and the target. 193. Three warmups would have been 10s I think. I was not shooting well today but it's a nice gun.
I should also explain the first cell of the target for the 22. I had a small branch clipping the pellets. So I broke it off and issue was resolved. I would have been pissed if it had been a 200 target and got messed up this way but it was not an issue with the gun.
I got both these guns in June of 2022. I've done a lot of tuning on the 177 and tried a lot of pellets in it. I stumbled on H&N Baracuda Match for the 22 doing initial screening at 25 yards and it put 3 through the same hole. It gives me close to 50 shots on a 250 bar fill and killed one small racoon and 10 squirrels (all DRT). I have not touched the regulator or replaced a single O-ring. It is dependably accurate and reliable.
