I have noticed the opposite with airguns. I was shooting last night, outdoors. It was calm. Still slight current , but calm. I noticed that the first 3 or 4 shots were smoking dead on. One tiny little hole with Altaros 32.3 grain slugs. So I continued shooting in succession one right after the other. And sure enough point of impact started changing radically, along with strange fliers sometimes 3 inches out. Just really weird. I was like, this gun shouldn't be doing this. So after a few more shots in succession and watching this become worse. I pulled the shroud off the barrel, and put my hand on it and it was ice cold. I'm telling you, " ICE cold.
The gun became progressively wildly inaccurate the colder the barrel got.
But I am curious to know how fast you can blast off without stretching.

We need another cold shot topic because we are getting off topic and screwing up this one. But more people than not have experienced what you’re experiencing. But the true problem might not be one thing. I’m not young anymore but I can still blast off quickly if I have to. Might blow a hammy.

I had that gun. Derrick ended up with it. lol It was very accurate. I just never liked its looks. Although, it was a hand picked stock at AoA.
It would absolutely do groupings like the ones you have posted..
In fact, I think Derrick used it in a competition.( I may be wrong about that, but I do know, that he knows how accurate that gun was.) Either placed , or won it. It's been so long, I can't remember what happened with that.
But here is the gun.

Another one for the FX Boss .30 at 100y outdoors.

I tried an experiment last year shooting JSB 44g at 890 FPS with the Boss.

Using a “slugs in the rings” N50 card, I was curious about average group size with a large number of shots. The scores are not good, but the actual accuracy was surprising to me across 75 shots.

Zoom in to see more clearly. Shot 15 five shot bulls ( 75 shots) for an average of 1.25.” 5 bulls (25 shots) were sub MOA.

To the OP - There is a ton of 100y AGN posts here in the forum that show a variety of guns and paper targets shot at 100 yards. As an aside, Mike N has a ton of posts shooting at 100Y.

Edit - I am waiting on my AEA 50g pellets to arrive, to try this again.

I have never seen a perfectly calm day in New England or will at least use that as an excuse for my 100 yard groups.

lol I have no 100y bragging groups either (with my airguns)

We had one yesterday in PA: heavily overcast, almost foggy, almost misting rain. I’ve had very calm days when it’s just beginning to snow lightly, but those temps generally aren’t great for airgunning.

Even days that are “calm” without a prevailing wind will have wind currents and mirage boil if the sun is out.

FWIW

Sure, I could show you some one-time museum targets that are fantastic, but my collection of FX Impacts (22 and 30) and RAW HM1000x in .177 will shoot consistently at 1-1.5 MOA depending on other factors including the weather and me, mostly. Some days, I can't hit the barn from the inside and others can be impressive. All I can say is that most of any decent rifle brand is as accurate as any, buy you have to make it happen.

If you're seeing a picture of some groups that someone decided to save and post....it's not the average group. Nobody shoots an average group and rushes down range to get a picture of it.

If you make a challenge on the forum that requests 25 5 shot groups at 100y....or even 5 5 shot groups at 100y on the same piece of paper in an orderly fashion...the thread will have almost zero participation.

With my project all shooting beyond 100 yard gun I’ve moved past the printing group phase a year or so ago. Now it’s been all about how far I can trust that gun on a first cold shot. But when I was in the average group size phase, this particular gun was required to have all groups covered by a quarter at 100. But I’m not talking about a couple shooting sessions. I’m talking about months of shooting data and saved groups. It’s not every day that you have conditions that you can trust what you’re printing. These aren’t powder burners. They are limp biscuits. I have a ton of other guns and projects so it wasn’t all about burning myself out on just one gun. But once I knew the gun was always going to do what it was supposed to if I did what I’m supposed to at 100, I moved to the how far can I trust this thing on a cold shot.

Ironic this topic pops up because I just cold shot a red today at 130 yards with a 18 day cold shot. So while I’m sure we will see some impressive groups in a topic like this, I’m only interested in guns that will do it cold. This gun will also do mice off this feeder cold shots. Lots of work and testing to the point I got sick of it. But worth it now.

might be interesting if the requirement would be " every target must be posted , Honor system , good or bad " Explanations accepted .

Yeah ..as i said initially. This is NOT about who can post the smallest group...it was an attempt to make people aware that to shoot a consecutive series of groups and get consistent results is quite a challenge.

As soon as i get the opportunity i will post 5 x "5" shots groups on the same piece of paper....good with the bad.. :)

Telling "porkies" on internet forums ...the only person in the end your fooling is yourself!! :(
