30-Yard Challenge

[TheAirgunnero]

Does this advice apply to other rifle/barrel combinations? Say a new Wolverine R? I believe it has a Lothar Walther barrel. My week old Wolverine shoots 18s really well at 23 yards indoors, but it came from Daystate shooting them at 833 FPS. I was thinking about increasing it to 890 ish

It applies to every modern PCP. I always shoot 18s at an average of 940fps and max it out to 990fps depending on the day (weather, altitude, humidity, etc) using my FX Impact, Crown, Wildcat, Panthera, Maverick, Brocock Sniper HR, DSRW HP and GCMAG Magnum Gen2 diring competitions.

890fps is a good starting point and it all depends on you on how you shoot and tune your rifle. I have no permanent tune on all my rifles since everyday has its own unique condition. If you tune your rifle ang get good results today (for example), you might experience a different result the next day since the “atmosphere“ is not exactly the same as the day before.

Whenever I compete, I always tune on site in order for my regulator or the whole rifle to “acclimatize“ right before the tournament starts.

The 40Y Challenge with a .177 in ‘any’ wind is hard for me! Had 2 flags out and wind was light. Bought a new bench stool for the New Year.

Great shooting today Tommy.

I’m still hand pumping, so one Masters card per rifle. I got in 3 30-Masters cards after shoveling snow today. 40 degrees Fahrenheit, mild to medium breezes.

DS Huntsman Regal shot 188 9X. Had four 8s that lowered score - vertical shifts. 15.89g at 790fps. Happy with 9X.

Shot a 186 5X with Weihrauch HW110 - 15.89g at 640fps. Cold temps dropped velocity of my 700fps tune too low. Still a solid score at 30-Masters with some wind at only 640fps.

Submitting a 196 12X 30-Masters with .177 FX Dreamline Classic. Shot 10.3g at 898-902fps. Rifle is insanely accurate - hit many Xs dead on the dot. Wind gust surprised me resulting in an 8 - or I might have scored even higher. Glad I didn’t shoot 198+ in a way, 196 gives me room to improve my score later in 2025.

Scoring plugs are available from several suppliers. I think mine came from Hughes Precision and they have them. They are not magnified. Champions Choice has magnified ones. There was at least one more source a quick Google search turned up.

Good shooting Ed.

Excellent marksmanship, especially given the cold temps and velocity drops.

The weather plays havoc with our air pressures.

I will say the new EzAY Trigger fill from Edgun is amazing.
