Thanks Greg.
I will admit that the Shallows are shooting well.
But, the FX 25.39 and JTS 25.39 are very close in accuracy too.
Have a great Memorial Day.

Was out of town for a week, excited to have some time to shoot a couple of cards with my AA 510XS. Tried my heaviest pellet at 860 avg fps. (.177 JBS 13.4 redesigned). After sunset with poor light but light winds. I was losing light (and focus) with my second card...

Hi Guys!
Spent a bunch of time today tuning the King .25 600mm with the 33.94gr pellets. I am getting close to a good tune at 50yds. Will now have to jump to 70 yds and see how it does.
About 7PM I was putting stuff away in my backyard range when it dawned on me the wind had absolutely died - none! Saw this as a perfect .177 opportunity at 40 yds. Quickly got my FT rig out and shot one card - 197-12x. Best I have done at that range with the .177. And there were five10's. I do love those Crowns !
Cheers,
Greg

You guys are shooting up a storm!!
Greg - absolutely amazing 40-Yard card with .177.
I shot these two cards just now - Dreamline Classic .177 with modest Arken scope. I am hung over from too much bourbon yesterday. First card was better than I expected so I pushed out to 40 yards for 2nd card - using only 10.3g pellets.
190 7X at 40 yards with 10.3g - I’m happy with that - no sighters - so I had to adjust for breeze changes based on previous shot.

Good shooting Rick! If you check our leaderboards, you will notice that most shooters are getting best results with your 13.4g pellet at 800-840fps - with 820 seeming about ideal.

Very high score at 40! Looks like the “no wind” idea paid off with the .177 Crown Greg.

Rick,
You might want to give the older JSB 13.4's a look. I found them to shoot more consistently out of the FX liners than the Redesigns. I have a friend who just received his Thomas Air .177 carbine, and he was told by the builder to ONLY shoot the old "trash can" 13.4 JSB's.
Cheers,
Greg

Greg,
I heard this same thing from Scott ( Motorhead Tuning ) when we were discussing the 13.4g pellets. How do you order the old “trash can” 13.4’s? Who has them and how do you distinguish?

Tom,
You can get them from any supplier, just look for the 13.4 gr without the "Redesigned" label. I actually like the FX 13.4 gr as they are the old design and a bit cheaper.
The shape is obvious when you see them side by side. (Phot below- a bit blurry but Redesigned on left "Trash Can" on right.
Cheers,
Greg

Hi Guys,
I had to send my new Falcon X505 ft scope back to Falcon Optics. I was having trouble with the focus ring. They stepped right up and are sending me a new scope (thanks Nick). But that meant the old Helix went back on the NW Crown. Put it on this morning and reset the adjustable rings and was sighting it in. I realized that with the storms on their way we were in the proverbial "lull before the storm". Very little wind. So decided to shoot a 40 yd Masters card with the NW Crown. Glad I did. A 195-10x. That is the best I have done with any rifle on a 40yd Masters.
Happy Memorial Day! And a heartfelt thanks to those of you who served, and remembering our fathers and mothers - the Greatest Generation.
Cheers,
Greg

Greg - I think I am going to have Ed move you back to 50y and make the rings smaller
Truly excellent!
Re. Memorial Day - Everyone shares those same sentiments on this special day and thanks to all our service members for their sacrifices.

Had some time after a thunderstorm with no wind. Playing with a different pellet, .177 JSB 16.2gr (it has the "trash can" shape). With my AA 510XS on its highest power it only got to 793 avg. Still, very happy with this card. I'll keep looking for that magic pellet, it's got to be the pellet, right ?

Really nice card! Keep going as you are on a positive trend.Had some time after a thunderstorm with no wind. Playing with a different pellet, .177 JSB 16.2gr (it has the "trash can" shape).

Indians or arrows? We always seem to be asking ourselves that question.

Well RCope, its the shooter first, but it doesn’t hurt to have a rifle that shoots many pellets well…
… that’s one of the best cards we have ever seen with the .177 “beast” pellets - nice velocity too.
Share a picture of your Air Arms and the rest you are using - it seems a great setup.

Here's a pic of my set up, obviously with a different rifle. And a pic of my AA 510XS. I have a 50 meter backyard to shoot in, but I've been concentrating on 30 yds...
