    USFT Sought guidance on USFT FPS spread - Tim's recommendation worked!

    I shoot an unregulated USFT (Hunter #150) in 25 meter heavy varmint (20 FPE max) benchrest. I can regularly shoot 247+ cards but occasionally I’ll get shots that are 2 to 3 mm high or low which prevent scoring a 250. I’ve traced the problem to variations in muzzle velocity. The POI on the...

    In search of perfect benchrest scores

    This write-up describes the approach I took to improve my benchrest scores. It might help some of you who want to do the same. I found some interesting ways to tighten groupings. And I went down some rabbit holes that yielded no gains. I shoot 25 meter USARB benchrest in the heavy varmint class...

    A bit of shiny lead found on a patch

    Does finding a bit of lead particle on a patch indicate a need to polish a barrel? This patch was pulled after 75 shots through a .177 stainless steel slow twist polygonal barrel shooting JSBs at about 830 fps. The pull used 2 dry patches and there was good resistance on the Patchworm line...

    USFT valve poppet and stem

    I have an unregulated USFT built in 2011. The valve periodically leaks. Tim and I have shaved the poppet but leaks periodically return. Also, I broke the stem at one point and the SS rods I typically use seem to bend after a while, causing changes in muzzle velocity and leaks. Tim doesn't...

    Any thoughts on the causes and fixes for these shot patterns?

    These are 25m benchrest shots. Very calm conditions. 15mm between POA bulls. They were shot left to right (row 14 first), using .177 JSB 13.4gr MRDs (washed, not lubed), using my Daystate Pulsar (with Heliboard and Falx moderator) in a Sinclair front rest (with freely-rotating Rodzilla top)...

    US Air Rifle Benchrest classes for Red Wolf and Delta Wolf

    Are the Daystate Red Wolf and Delta Wolf guns only permitted in the Unlimited Class due to their electronic triggers? Or can they compete in Heavy Varmint or other classes as well? For Field Target, AAFTA rules don't seem to preclude them from Hunter Division.

    [WTB] Air Gauge for pellet head size measurement

    Some posts from 2016 and 2017 show the use of air gauges for measuring pellet head sizes. Are these still being sold? Does anyone have a used air gauge they would like to sell? I have been using a Pelletgage but just don't trust my results.

    Seeking recommendations for pellets that don't fall out of Umarex clip

    I use a .177 CO2 powered Umarex pistol that uses the standard circular Umarex 8-round clip/magazine. Currently we load it with RWS 7.0 grain wadcutters. We use the gun to dispatch cane toads in SW Florida. Spare clips are kept in a fanny pack. But during the course of an evening's walk around...
