Hi Everyone, I have an interest in 50 yard Standing position, and possibly 100 yds, using a 177 FWB 800x, and 900, both are 10 meter setups. For my son and myself.
Last outdoor season I used a FX Crown GRS in 22 cal, 700 1:16, 27g slug, at approx 950 fps, for this same Standing situation at 50 yd and 100 yards.
At first, using the 177 , will test on the bench to make sure this can be done with some acceptable groupings.
I believe the barrel is 1:12 twist. So slugs may be possible with such a fast twist, if I have good results at 50 yd and want to go to 100 yards...?...? FPS is approx 160 to 170m/s, 525 to 558 fps. Realizing that a possible 700 fps may be obtained by turning the screw a small amount. Will start with the fps it is at, 525, 558 fps and see what happens.
Definitely want to share what is being done, is this the proper thread to do so? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, R
