1st 5 shots at 100 yards, then 10 shots at 200 yards, 10 shots at 150 yards, 5 shots at 75 yards, 5 shots 50 yards, 5 shots at 28 yard zero, and last 5 shots at 100 yards:

21g H&N slugs @ 873 fps. These 45 shots represent 1 fill of the 480cc tank:

With the exception of the odd "flyer" here and there(unsorted, straight out of the tin), the results have been very consistent every month(in mild wind) for over a year:

100yd- .9 to 1.75" and little to no POI shift on first shots

200yd- 3 to 4.5"

150yd- 1.75 to 2.5"



75yd- .6 to 1"

50yd- .5 to .7

28yd- .3 to .5

I chrono test after shooting targets to re-verify speed, as well. Haven't needed to adjust zero on scope or change tune. Haven't cleaned the barrel all year either. It's not a powerhouse, but this is the most RELIABLY CONSISTENT gun I have at moment. 

I have "more accurate" guns at the longer distances(and for 50 yard BR), but they all require some "fiddling with"/adjusting/maintenance to produce the tightest groups(especially the long 700mm barrels).


 
Thanks, Tony! Yeah, I've had mixed luck with FX AMP regulators(some creep, have to be rebuilt, etc..), but this one in my 1st Crown MK1 has been bulletproof. Glad to hear you've got your "shorty" Crown shooting well. 

Maybe I should have posted this in HUNTING section since this is how I test my hunting rigs(dialing to different distances)? But then again, I shot off of a BENCH too, so....
