Amen!

Mike - nice shooting. What gun, ammo, caliber?

Btw, you actually can add 50 points, maybe 75 to your top row ( Box 14). Excellent score with an air gun.

Hi Tommy
i am using a Skout Epoch with the Lothar Walther bullbarrel in .22
I am shooting the Altaros Kings @885-890 fps
i have a Delta Stryker 5-50 x 56 scope.
AR250 front rest by SEB(son) and an Edgewood bag…Thinking of getting a flat top bag

Wow!

I thought those were ‘slug’ made holes.

Mike - in your opinion does that bull barrel improve accuracy?

I don’t know jack about the Skouts. But, I am curious about the idea of installing LW bull barrels for other AG brands.

Tommy, the Altaros are slugs … 40g, i believe you have them confused with JSB Kings
imo, the LW barrel is superior to the OEM barrels made by Skout.
i do think the bull barrels are better..not certain if they have a better resonance, Rigidity, or a combination of both
LW barrels have decades of experience and I appreciate their quality, however, I am oblivious on how install .

Thanks for clarifying Mike.

Tommy, you might see if the AEA 50gr will work for you. They are significantly better in the wind than the jsb 44gr. It's like the difference between shooting 18gr 22 cal pellets vs the 25.4s at 50y.

Update on using new AEA 50.1g pellets with FX Boss .30 caliber

I did shoot (4) N50 50Y cards last Friday, but it was cold and windy. My velocity was a very consistent 830 FPS with a great ES with the new to me AEA 50.1g pellets. I managed a 229 and 230 on two of the four cards, but my wind holds and calls were inconsistent. I did manage 14 10’s on one card and 15 10’s on the other. Although the accuracy was good, I have the sense I need to turn up the HS and increase the velocity to assess if I can score better. Have shot a number of low to mid 240 N50 cards with the 44g , so I need to work the 50.1g with more practice.

I also shot some 1/2” MOA groups so when I get a warmer and less windy day, I will try a few “pellets in the rings” 100Y cards.
