My new Challenge Target

[rsfrid]

Compliments of @ThomasT , I've got a new personal challenge for basement winter fun. This is my first serious attempt at 6 yards with my HW44 177 cal. I'm shooting H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 gn (new line of pellets) which rumor has it were developed for the Luther Walther barrel and perhaps the Weihrach specifically. Who knows, but they are precision pellets out of the pistol.

Hey Ross, nice shooting! Thanks for the heads up on the Barracuda FT, JSB 10.3 has always been my goto, but I will have to try those. What are you using for optic's?

I use a bugbuster 3-12 power. It's the closest focusing scope out there. Not the highest quality and cross hairs are very thick, but it really does job. Oh, it's only 3 clicks per moa, so not fine enough to really dial in the hits. That's why so many are just at edge of circle.

I shot that target last night. 8 yards My HW44 in .22 I have a Burris compact R/A scope. JSB 18g. Was quite a little challenge. Stopping to reload, and air. Then get focused back on target. Then with my setup, I believe more light would help. Waiting on my scope for my HW44 in .177. Really tough to hit that small with a red dot. And for yourself, good shooting as always.

If I shoot over my lawn mower I have 6 yards!

All you HW44 shooters, be sure to clean barrel between uses. I clean about 50 shots in. A dirty barrel will hurt accuracy and precision big time. Just a heads up.

I left you some, only ordered 4 to try them out.

I left you some, only ordered 4 to try them out.

By the way, I'm shooting straight from the tin - no sorting.

 

[Nvr-Enough]

I got 8 tins left. Try get my HW44 .177 setup this weekend. By the way it sounds I better start ordering them up. But honestly these guns pretty much like everything. So that’s a big plus if they not in stock. Happy shooting fellas.

Ross, great shooting! That combo is nirvana!

Hello @rsfrid

OK Sheriff I am officially in on this quest. This is my best effort with the Crosman 1701P .177 cal using RWS Super-H-Point Field Line 6.9gr pellets.

[beerthief]

P.S. only reason im waiting is for the 4.51 not the 4.50 . 4.51 shoot better in my target guns

Hello @rsfrid
How come you did not show a score? That is some great shooting

Didn't know how to score it. 177 can't remove the center circle. Maybe I should say shot is entirely inside inner circle?
