Beeman Does anybody NOT not like .22 HW barrels?

I was speaking to Thumper he referred to his HW100. Thanks.

@Mycapt65 has me blocked because he gets his feelings hurt when someone disagrees with him.

So he probably didn't see my post.

Going back whats likely 25 years ago ... HW was producing 6 groove .22 barrels that shot spectacular !!!
I still have one left that started life at @ 26" long, many fitments later the last time i dug it out was down to @ 22" but still shoots as it always did being Great !!

Hey Dave,
You have many Weihrauch rifles in all calibers and shoot a lot .
From your shooting experience, (marginally speaking), how would you rate each caliber in terms of accuracy?

PS: All my .177’s display good accuracy, but one of my .20 cals. is the best of the best.

I wrote a little Fri. but it disappeared. I did to.
l was going to say I liked .20 cal. for accuracy in all my guns. Don’t know why. I find them all accurate.
Since Thursday I had 4 HW97’s out but wind had been the issue, even today breezy. I put a target at 30 yds.
Now remember I’m not a paper guy, where you watch your breathing and heartbeat. Hell I’m glad I have both.
.177 down to .25. 3 each row, with 5 scattered shots on each target.
Still windy and 22F. A little nasty. Brrrr. I’ll try again in warmer weather.

My favorite to shoot, the .25. Easy to load, and accuracy is good enough for the girls I go out with.
Definitely lots of practice needed.

Thanks for the info.
They only thing I don't like about the .177 caliber is fiddling with them when loading .

For the past 20 plus years my R1 has had a .22 k barrel. Probably my least accurate springer. This weekend I plan to re install the full length .20 cal barrel. Will be interesting to see how accurate it is. I honestly can’t remember how well it shot with the .20 cal barrel. I know I took quite a few pigeons and squirrels and a crow with it. But most of my shooting back then was with my .20 cal RX1.
