I'm considering a 700 mm Panthera in .22 cal. What brand, size and weight slug are people using? My intended purpose is long range target shooting.
Hi mr dannyH&N .218 34 grain shoot best here.
No rifle is the same…you will have to go through the tedious process of filling and re filling the tiny bottle and shooting several weeks different weights and different speeds and different settings… it is a frustrating task…good luck…Hi mr danny
I also recently bought a fx panthera caliber .22 barrel 700mm. And my purpose of using it is only accurate shots from the table and at a distance of 300 meters in a friendly club. The ammunition available to me is 34 grain slug. Currently, the thing that confused me and I could not get to the best state is the most optimal setting of the hammer and regulator pressure for accurate shots at this distance without putting too much pressure on the gun and damaging the hammer. According to the previous shots with fx m3, I use .217 diameter slugs, but I don't know if you suggest .218 diameter for panthera? Can you help me to achieve the best accuracy at a distance of 300 meters with a 34 grain slug? With what level of diameter and what level of regulator pressure and hammer settings?
If you tether the gun you wouldn’t need to keep refilling itNo rifle is the same…you will have to go through the tedious process of filling and re filling the tiny bottle and shooting several weeks different weights and different speeds and different settings… it is a frustrating task…good luck…
Yes … you are obliged to do that in a rifle designed for long distance shots with heavy slugs and tiny bottle…If you tether the gun you wouldn’t need to keep refilling it
Try Jav 40 grain slugs between 860 and 880…Try a slower speed…between 860 and 880…flyers like high speed…shooters tend to favor higher speeds…but high speeds may affect accuracy…specially with light slugs…
