I beat unlimited Rimfire guns in BR matches routinely with 60fpe. I can shoot 1050 if I want …but I stay around 830 fps because NOTHING better happens when I shoot faster. The idea that you will need to shoot 1050 with a 40gr slug to keep up with prs style Rimfire (not unlimited) is ridiculous.

This is with your custom slugs and barrels. I think I remember seeing you make a comment that you chased commercial slugs into the ground, and could never get them to shoot to your standards. That would also match my experience with mass-produced slugs.The wind drift amounts at 830 fps are on par with Rimfire at 1040. It doesn’t matter what the rifle configuration is.
Of all people, you'd be the one to know.Cole….yes, I have found all the factory made slugs ,so far, insufficient to keep up with unlimited Rimfire. Prs Rimfire guns are way below unlimited Rimfire guns as far as accuracy goes…so the factory slugs may do just fine. Either way…shooting them at 1040 isn’t going to help anyone in the wind drift or accuracy department so even attempting to shoot them there is unwise.

I'm not FX employee and never was. My profession is a lawyer and I work as a head of legal department in Russia. Airguns is my hobby and I have high passion to it.And I also would like to know if the marketing claims are true.
I'd say so... more than enough. Too bad with the war and everything it couldn't be shipped. I'm sure we'd all like to hear about coming to Sweden to get your new gun, I know I'm interested in your story...I payed for my trip from Russia to get my Panthera, that is about 5000 USD. Is that enough?
If I'm not mistaken 2nd place in the main event, 1st place in 50y benchrest and 1st place in one gun challenge. So yeah top 5 is a bit of an understatement. (Although true)Plus with Nicolay, top 5 100Y pellet BR shooter looking at Panther to replace his Crown, that also says something. So it’s not just a PRS/NRL-22 specific rifle.
I’m sure that block will be used or adapted to the Mk3 Crown in the not too distant future.
True. I was looking past two years 100Y. A 2nd EBR Pro and overall 2022, 2nd EBR Pro and 4th overall 2021, and didn’t make finals RMAC 2021 (not in top 20). So yeah, I should have just said “a top 100Y BR pellet shooter” and not put a number on it. Silly me….If I'm not mistaken 2nd place in the main event, 1st place in 50y benchrest and 1st place in one gun challenge. So yeah top 5 is a bit of an understatement. (Although true)
That is simply not true. .30 slugs have BC equal to 0.134 (e.g. Zans 68 grainers). I do not understand the hype of .22. It must have some roots in RPA..22 has a better ballistic coefficient than .30
A 68 grain .22 has a higher BC. Apples to apples lad!That is simply not true. .30 slugs have BC equal to 0.134 (e.g. Zans 68 grainers). I do not understand the hype of .22. It must have some roots in RPA.
Maybe he figured this threads been hijacked enough.Not sure why you edited out your comments about sponsored shooters. They were definitely germane to what was being discussed.
