AA Field 8.4 grain at 50 Yards (TX200 MKIII)

[drpietrzak]

In a previous video I looked at the performance of other pellets such as AA 10.3 Field Heavy at 50-yards. This video checks out the AA Field Diablo 8.4 grain pellets at 50-yards. These are 4.52mm head sorted to 8.4 grains.

There was some wind at times. There was also a biting fly attack which messed with me while shooting target 1. It is noted in the time log. I didn't edit anything out as it seems only fair to take real word events into account. Besides it was a bot funny.

The sighter target has 5 shots for those who prefer 5 shot groups. Target 1 has 12 shots with 2 flyers. One flyers was the opening shot and the second flyer was following the bug attack. It hurt BTW. Target 2 is a standard 10 shot bull.

I am using my TX200 MKIII in .177 (FAC) which was recently rebuilt with standard AA FAC parts. There is an addition of a 3MM washer in front of the top hat. This washer is supposed to help smooth out the shot cycle when using heavier pellets. I think it helps, but it could be a placebo. I have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical ffp 6x24 50mm scope. I am shooting from a bench using an Allen rest with a Protektor front and rear bag. I

I want to eventually record my sessions. But I'm rather all over the place unless I have a "list" in my head.
*how do you choose what you do in videos?

I did a fair bit of testing earlier after reading and watching others. About a year ago now. The AA 8.4 and 10.3 were the best out to 100-yards.

I shoot videos based on what I am interested in myself. I am not monetized or supported. The videos are often basically for me to review my shooting. I just post in case it is of interest to anyone else.

I used to do a lot of musical composition but as my hands and ears decline shooting has taken over for recording.

I really like your narrative style: succinct, informative, clever.
