Hard to beat the 34 Gr pellets.

 

[mrichard76]

Yes they are, I think i pulled that one flyer to the left.

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Also looks like the apolo 40's are shooting well

 

[mrichard76]

Yeah 3 of them but one flyer way down low and another that landed in the previous marked group to the bottom right. Was really hoping these would shoot well due to the low cost...

 

[Bud-sc]

Try the JSB KO 34gr....this is at 100 yards...

Is your Taipan Vet II the 550mm CZ or the 700mm LW barrel?

 

[mrichard76]

550MM CZ

 

[JaceSpace1369]

550MM CZ

Hold on, the short barrel is making 68fpe???

 

[mrichard76]

Yes sir

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Yes sir

Yikes man, you may need to try out some heavy zans, the 44gr boat tails fly well. They should move around 850fps out of your set up. 37gr likely around 900fps

 

[mrichard76]

Wow I wonder if those fit in the mag

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Wow I wonder if those fit in the mag

 

[JaceSpace1369]

They should fit, you could look at zans page and see how long they are but here's a pic I took for you on measurement

 

[mrichard76]

Great thank you

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Great thank you

Not a problem

Thanks for sharing, that's a nice reference. At 40yd my Vet 2 550mm does best with Hades pellets and AVS 35g dished. 50 ft/lb. I didn't do so well with KO 34g. Pic is of 10 rnds with KO's.

Yeah 3 of them but one flyer way down low and another that landed in the previous marked group to the bottom right. Was really hoping these would shoot well due to the low cost...

Have you found it's prefered slug?

 

[mrichard76]

At this point I'm going with the 34 gr H&N HP II. I recently got some Zan's to try out also.
