Just tried AEA, 66gr pellets in my Boss

[Gerry52]

Just got home from a few hours plinking in the sun. Had to try the AEA, 66gr pellets that came a couple days ago. I thought it would be a bust ESPECIALLY after Centercut posted this! "Gerry, your Boss doesn't have the ass to shoot those... Not even close, unless you like 550 fps." Didn’t chrony them but, DAMN, they hit hard! Here's a 10 shot group @ 50 yards. Not spectacular but better than I'd expected. Do not impugn the ass of my beloved Boss Mike, she's got plenty! Only had to holdover 1.5 mil. Not bad!

@Gerry52 It is satisfying when an airgun does something that someone tells us that it cannot do well.

awesome group.....what was the FPS ??

@Gerry52 This is a .30 Boss right? Those are some heavy pellets.

As I said, didn't chrony them but I will next time. My Boss shoots 44.75gr & Hades somewhere in the 885-895fps range. I won't even hazard a guess but it couldn't have been too much slower to group the way they did.

Yeah Dave, .30 cal. Such a great shooting gun. The Huma HP reg I installed last summer (set at 160 bar) has been amazing. I couldn't shoot Hades in it before with the OEM reg even though they're the same weight as the 44.75 diabolos. Just not enough oomph. NOW it's pushing 66 grains with MOSH (minute of squirrel head) @ 50 yards! Next time out I'll see what it does at 75 & 100 & how much holdover is needed.

Cool. You should be about 725 fps with 77 fpe. Should be good at 50 yards, but drop at 100 will be much more than the .30 pellets you normally shoot. About 7 inches more holdover than you currently use. About 2 Mil.
