    RAW 1000 for benchrest shooting

    Ray, yes live in Chapel Hill out by Jordan Lake. PM me with your phone number if you want to talk live. I have had my RAW HM1000x .22 for about 5/6 years. Great air rifle built by Martin. Tom

    Resources WRABF/ERABSF vs N50

    Ok, let me go back and revisit the “in the rings” 100y N50 thread you created. I guess I did forget that you also shot pellets too, in addition to slugs. I know it is a lengthy thread. With all of the posts on slugs lately, I forgot that pellets were shot early on on in that thread. Yeah...

    Resources WRABF/ERABSF vs N50

    Nice card! Mike - I think next week, I may try and revisit the 100Y “slugs in the rings” target challenge with the N50 card. I still have some good ammo ( RWS 50, RWS 100 40g RF bullets ) left, but I’m going to cherry pick a light wind day and use the Annie 1907 RF. Maybe, a row or two with...

    Daystate Revere .177 unregulated at AoA on sale for $900

    Yeah, I’m a lefty too. When I originally ordered my Regal and Revere .22 cals, I had to wait a while for AoA to get them ( I.e., LH stocks ) in from their Supplier.

    Daystate Revere .177 unregulated at AoA on sale for $900

    Very helpful! I had a bolt action unregulated Regal XL, and it shot just as accurately as my regulated Revere .22 caliber. Your velocities with the 15.89 and 18.1 JSBs for the .22 cal are very similar to mine. Your information ( and Joedirt199) for the .177 version tells a good story...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Ed, Solid 40y Masters cards here. 195 on a 40y Masters is spectacular, to me anyway. Your Crown likes the FX 25.39g pellets, but all of them did well.

    Thanks Joe. Which pellet weight and velocity yields the best accuracy in your experience?

    Daystate Revere .177 unregulated at AoA on sale for $900

    I have a regulated .22 Revere, but I was searching the Daystate website and could not find some technical information. For those members that have the .177 unregulated 18 FPE rifle, what pellet brands and associated velocities are providing best results at 25-40 yards? Also, for those that...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Good start to the week, as I went to the range this morning. I had the 8-bench 50-100y Sight in range all to myself. Still fine tuning the Royale, but I am having excellent results in the 890-910 fps range. Shot some 30 and 40y cards, nothing for the Leaderboard. I did tie my best 40 Y...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Thanks Ed. I hadn’t looked at the vertical spread, but you’re right. I did not have any big drops or high shots on the card. Went to range this morning, but way too windy so I just shot 5-shot groups at 40y with the Royale. Was 44 degrees and velocity dropped to 890 FPS because of temp. The...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Ricky Had the Royale out to the range this past Monday. Have the JSB 18.1’s now around 910 fps. This is a big jump from 860-870 range. I need to shoot some groups at 30, 40 and 50 yards and see how they look. The ST barrel is pretty forgiving with a variety of pellets and velocities...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Ricky Here’s the situation in the U.S. If you order pellets from any of the online ammo providers, my experience is that you cannot request different batch numbers. You get what they give you! For my .22LRs , I can request different “lots” for the same ammo. Cannot do this with pellets...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Shot a 40y Challenge card with the RAW HM1000x .22 today. New Leaderboard update for this rifle. 196-13X with JTS 25.39g. I really want a 200 with this gun, and she deserves a better score. ‘She’ needs to tell the shooter/owner to slow down and read the wind. 😊

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Ricky Ok, turned up HS today on Royale. I accidentally forgot my JSB 18.13 pellets, but I did bring the JSB 20.83g “lights.” Shot a 196-14X 30 Y Challenge card at 848 FPS. Pretty sure the 18.1 g will get to 890-900 FPS at this tune. Edit - I inadvertently wrote the RAW on the card, but it...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Thanks Ricky! Just watched your video. Three solid groups at 70 yards!! Q. Do you think or feel that I would benefit from increasing my velocity to 890-920 range, for 30Y only target shooting? Same question for 50Y shooting? I think you made a pretty good case for 70y groups in that video...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Thanks Ricky I can try it, but I’m curious as to why you think 890-920 FPS increase in velocity, may be more accurate? Do you have any insight here? The Royale has a Smooth Twist barrel, and has a reputation for great accuracy. Would that be too fast? As an example, I switched to the 20.83...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Shot some 30 and 40y cards today. Very light wind and range was not crowded. I shot four 40Y Challenge cards and best I could do was a 191. Shot three or four 30Y cards and will submit one Masters for leaderboard. I missed quite a few 10 rings with some misreads on slight wind. Leaderboard...
