So first day at the range with the 30 cal delta wolf. A bit of mixed results some good and some ok.
First off at 55 yards the 30 cal using FX 44grn pellets shooting around 920 fps printed a 1 hole group of 7 to 8 pellets. This is the tightest group I have ever shot of a group with a new air rifle.
I proceed to adjust the gun for some reason down to 880 fps more of a standard velocity and increase shot count. The groups had a tendency to break out more left to right or the wind messed with it a bit. Groups were still good at 55 yards pushing about 880.
I went out to 115 yards and mixed results some where ok groups others were bad and probably the wind/me not shooting that accurate.
My Take aways for the rifle.
1. The gun feels and shoots well, Shot count sucks thou. Probably only 30 shots per a fill and the gun flashes that pressure is too low to push slugs fast after about 1 or 2 clips which is only 16 shots or so ????
2. I did try FX slugs 44.5 and were mixed results. I was only pushing them about 900 to 915 and at a 100 yards seem less accurate than the fx pellets. I do understand what slugs have for advantages but at 115 yards the pellets were doing really well.
3. More testing but am a bit confused with mixed emotions on to keep trying to use slugs in this rifle. First is shot count per fill which is really bugging me. If I have to really increase the power to say 960 or more that will really kill the shot count per a fill even more than what it is performing now.
Second if pellets are just as accurate or more accurate from 1 to 100 yards, do I give that up to push out to 150 yards with slugs or just learn more wind doping with pellets ??
4. Might try some other caliber to see if I can still get reach and accuracy out to 100 Plus yards with out filling up the tank every 3rd clip.
5. I did not see an option for programming the rifle to go over 1000 fps, it looked maxed out at like 980 fps or around there ? Is this not possible in this gun say for lighter pellets or calibers going faster than 1000fps. Is this limited by the onboard chrono ?
Anybody with Delta wolf experience like to give me your impressions ?
