There is no problem with this. At this stage, I can't figure out which slug to use, 21.23 or 25 gr., as well as how to configure this panther. How much great potential is inherent in this product. That's all.

Please tell me which tincture do you use and what is the slug weight? I tried to set up pelet, the speed jumps very much, the operation of the regulator is not stable. I use a simpler pistol, everything is simple and complicated at the same time, but I figured it out, but everything is bad with the panthera. I will be very grateful.

The problem with that is wind is never constant. Not even for a split second. With wind flags on a windy day of say 12mph, You can watch near flags blowing one way and down range at 40 and 50 yards see flags blowing in the opposite direction OR all over the place. Someone tell me how you can accurately read that/" dope the wind". I have seen this many times shooting ARA sanctioned benchrest. Nobody on the line could dope the wind with any degree of consistency. ANOTHER TALL TALE. You will shoot through the window of opportunity when this happens, so to speak. The problem with that is , there are time limits on the cards. Sometimes you just can't wait it out.
Barrel length and accuracy: You will pretty much know if your gun is accurate by shooting at 20-25 yards. If the gun is making one hole at 25 yards, the projectile should continue along its accuracy path unless acted upon by ambient forces, or stability issues. As the projectile slows along its path , wobble is induced. The skirt of a pellet presents itself as a " sail" from the very time it exits the muzzle. As it slows at longer ranges, the sail ( pellet) starts to wobble, the further it goes the more it wobbles on deceleration. The more it wobbles, the less accurate it becomes. The counter to this is more speed. It's a catch 22 with pellets. More speed could equal less accurate. Less speed could equal less accurate at longer ranges. This is why everyone wants to slug it out. The ballistic coefficient of a slug is far greater than that of any pellet. As for me, I cannot understand why on earth a .22 Rimfire rifle can be built to shoot under a half inch at 50 yards with a 40 grain projectile traveling at 1040FPS ( Lapua) and under an inch at 100 yards, but an airgun can't. There lies my dilemma
