30-Yard Challenge

[EPG]

Well this time I got a couple more points. A 193 11X still with my P35-177 with vector 32X scope shooting H&N Baracuda FTs at 905 fps (measured today, estimated previously). Please use this one in the spreadsheet unless my slow climb continues. I took more warmup shots, 5, but may still need to take more with this gun and pellet. The early shots seem to have more fliers. The last 11 shots on this one were 10s.

Nice shooting JimmyD !

I have a few tins of the 9.57s. They are excellent pellets but I haven’t shot any outstanding scores in my limited number of cards with them.

My gut tells me that I’ve been shooting them too fast - 850fps+.

Field Target in Europe is 12 ft/lbs - which translates to 750fps with 9.57g pellets.

So, its possible H&N optimized these pellets for 750fps range velocities .

Lets both try them at 800 fps or lower and compare results.

Thought I would submit this for 40yd master score. But wasn’t sure if the plug had to totally cover the black dot or just touch? I scored as touch. Wind was negligible 3-4mph.
Here’s the real kicker, shot with the 13.4 redesigned/redesigned’s!!! Maybe could have got a couple more points with the original’s? But this poly shoots them pretty good at that range! Normally fall apart past 30-35yds.

Great 40-Masters with .177 nomojoe !

We’ve seen great results with 13.4g even at 40 yards if velocity is 780-820fps. Above 820fps, the 13.4s don’t do as well accuracy-wise.

What speed are you shootin’ em ?

First wanted to say the barrel pictured is not the barrel on the gun now it’s the titanium shrouded one “ not that it really matters”.
I’m shooting them around 810-815fps. Those speeds with the original 13.4’s is 820fps. I believe I can improve on this score with originals?
This is the setup that arrived from Martin, I haven’t done any tuning at all.

Joe - nice shooting.

If the hole “touches” the black X dot with scoring plug, it’s an X. You’ll need the magnifier on the close ones, and your iPhone to zoom in and snap a picture if you can’t tell with naked eye. Ask me how I know

I know in shooting N50 with pellets your hole needs to “cover” the black ‘X’ dot to count as an X with their .035” plug shanks. So, it’s easy to mix up the scoring between the N50 scoring and our 30-40y Challenge targets.

My FX Trash Cans ( 13.4g ) originals or non redesigned shoot 810-815 FPS in my TM1000X. 40Y Masters is tough scoring in any wind for me.
