Amazing Is this the 75 shooting at standard power which in the uk is about nothing or has it been upped a bit?

My best 5 shot group with an air rifle!
- Thread starter AmosBurton
- Start date
It shoots in the neighborhood of 420 fps, with RWS R10 7gr pellets so thats well bellow Eu standards, only about 2.7 lbs straight out of the box. I purchased it from AoA, maybe fifteen years ago.
My Beeman P1 mag, was stolen in house burglery in 95, and one day I was missing it, and was about grab one from Pyramid Air. While checking prices at AoA, and discovered the recoiless HW75, and snatched it instead.

I have had a few from the HW stable the 75 and the 40 and the Beeman copy. I did not realise they were capable of that. I should have been more adventurous with mine. Great shooting that.

Thanks Telephonepete,
I am really fortunate to have a bunch of accurate air pistols, but the HW75 is the queen.

Wow. I still miss my P1, which is an HW45. Two matched in differnt calibers is awesome.
I would like a .20 cal barrel in a 45.

I don’t shoot groups very often, as I prefer to shoot targets for score…
But I was resighting my RTI Prophet Performance V1 with .25 LR barrel yesterday. I had been shooting at 100 yards and wanted to see how it was grouping at 50 yards (49.3 yards from front of shooting bench - I measured after I wrote 45 yards on target).
This group was my 1st five shots of the day. It was at 865fps using FX 25.4g pellets.
It is likely the tightest 5 shot group I’ve ever shot at 50 yards. I shot 4 more groups and tweaked velocity a bit (I know - why touch it - but I’m trying to find a great 100 yard tune, not 50 yards). All groups were sub 1/2” ctc, but this 5-shot group measured .02” ctc, lol - crazy! Using a 45x Sightron target scope.
Thought I’d share this lucky group - btw, straight out of the tin pellets, single shot loaded by hand - no magazine or SSL.

Good groups are good groups, and those are nice!
I think alot of people get a little "carried away" about what group sizes are realistically average.
I understand the frustration and doubt, sometimes it suks-
but not this time buddy!
Awesome target.

Hi Telephonepete,
How do you like that HW44? I was nervous about it because it isn't regulated?

Since we're looking at groups, this is a gun that I have been dissatisfied with from day one. It is shooting the best that it has since I've owned it. I have a 14x scope, shooting 28 yards, and I assure you that I have the reticle centered on the bull. This is sixty five shots. Yesterday it was on bull, as I expected it to be today, but its POI center was right and a tad low. The flyers are crazy and one of those was right after my first dead bullseye.

Its a fantastic Pistol now Carbine. I was puzzled when I read your
As it is such a short sight base its good out to 20 yards or more depending on how accurate you want to be. Last edited:

I tried to find where I got that notion that HW44 was non regulated? I don't remember where I read it? I shoot all my HW pistols at 25 yards, but Im set up for 28 yards at the moment. With open sights they will hit shotgun hulls, but with a scope they'll shoot wire nuts. On my best day I was shooting airsoft pellets of off push pins. So the HW44 should be capable of 1 MOA targets at 25 yards, or more.Its a fantastic Pistol now Carbine. I was puzzled when I read yourView attachment 363411View attachment 363413 post and googled it and as I expected it is regulated as is the HW110. As a Carbine it is the best fun ever. I shoot it with a Diopter a Scope and now a Red Dot. As a carbine its the best fun ever. If you fancy one dont delay get one and carbine it, its amazing. Over 125 regulated shots at 6ftlbs. I would prefer it to be higher ftlbs but for Plinking in the Garden and I am target shooting out to 20 yards with it, its good at that modest output. The target was at 12 yards rested. See the forsight is just balanced on a lump of Blue Tac. It was while I was trying to work out the levels of the front and rear sights whilst trying to set up the dioper. 10 shots off the BlueTac. I should have left it like that.

I saw that video. I thought you were using a 75? I was very impressed. Especially as I thought it was a 75. What power are your pistols set at? I very rarely use a scope 99% of my shooting is done with opens or red dot. I only have 25 yards in my garden. At that distance a scope is not really much fun.

Nice shooting!
I've got one of those! It'll be a long while before any modern PCP I own has more kills than the old Daisy. As a kid I'd spend evenings shooting mice and rats in the barn with my Daisy and one of those milk carton containers of BB's.
