Hi-
I'm interested in the accuracy of .25 caliber HW 97s. Not the best groups, but average groups that owners are getting.
My rifle has a Vortek spring and seal, I'm shooting JSB Exact Diabolo, 25.39 grs at 25 meters. I'm getting mainly 1/2" (12mm) groups with 2 or 3 touching, then a couple 1/4" to 1/2" away. I occasionally have a 4 shot group about 1/4" with a single flyer.
Since I'm getting the flyers I figure it's me rather than the rifle. I'm working on various holds. Right now, holding the butt of the stock slightly firmly and holding the grip firmly but not tight enough to get any tremors or tightness. I tried a loose hold against my shoulder and a loose hold on the grip and the groups were larger.
My understanding is that .177s are the most accurate at this range and shorter, and the accuracy goes down at the caliber goes up. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Scot
