RAW Rapid .22 HM1000x and JTS 22.07

[Mikelo123]

Evening All!

Have enjoyed diving back into the hobby this past month or so (man has there been a ton of changes and advancements)!!

Currently throwing all my focus around 100 yard bench rest and have numerous contenders in the stable I am testing out.

One is a RAW HM1000x .22, put it through its paces today and one thing that blew me away was how well it grouped not only the 25.39 Monster Redesigns but also the JTS 22.07 (flying at 1010 fps!). 100 yards 40 shots. Apologizes for not posting with a measurement or thumb nail etc. to give a sense of size but measured 1.30 inches from far left to bottom edge of far right.



This was with a middle of the road scope, 24x magnification, rear bag and Atlas bipod sitting on a 4 foot long card table and a lawn chair so not the most stable setup.

Not sure if this one will make the cut for my intended purpose (have 13 more to put through their paces) but sure was surprised to see a fairly light weight .22 pellet group so well at that speed and distance.

Anyways just thought I would share my findings and throw this out there for other HM1000x .22 owners.

Be Safe,

Hello Dr Mike
Hmmmm..1010 fps seems really high.
what kind of winds were you shooting in?
I have been using the 25.4 grains in my RAW..at 1st, the JSB's ...but converted to AEA
shooting them @930 fps..i sent in my rifle to Martin Rutterford for a tune-up, and valve job, and have not messed with the settings.
I am shooting this one at 50 yrds with excellent results.
My 100 was decent..but that is my fault, not the rifles ..it's kinda a crap shoot for 100 with a .22 when the wind blows with pellets.
i am changing my bench set-up..going to a front rest instead of a bipod and changing rear bag
give the 25.3g AEA a try...they are better in consistency, which really shows at 100

I’ve had the same experience in my RAW with the JTS 22.07 pellets. I run them right at 1000 fps and get great accuracy at least for me.

This is what my RAW .177 HMX rifle does at 100 yd. This is one of several targets, so not a museum piece.

P.S.-I'm using 13.4 gr Zan slugs.

That is an excellent pellet for the RAW. I shoot that pellet at 970 with good results.

Sure blew me away, would have thought at that weight and speed it would be all over the place. Winds were calm, maybe a couple mile per hour gust here and there. I am sure in any wind to speak of they would get blown around pretty good but will be testing that next time there is some study wind up my way!

That is an excellent pellet for the RAW. I shoot that pellet at 970 with good results.

My RAW is tuned to shoot the JSB 18gr @ 970! Same tune it shoots the NSA 17.5gr @ 950 and NSA 20.2 @ 930.

What are you shooting the 25.39 monsters at ? Just 22.07 at 1,010 fps is flying ! The 25's must be going about 990 fps ?
