N50 Practice Cards with Annnie and RAW

[tommyb]

Shot (4) cards today. Two with Anschutz .22 LR 64 MPR and two with my RAW HM1000x .22 HP. Wind was up a bit ( 3-6 mph ) per Kestrel at my bench and 5 yards downrange. Average was in the 3 MPH range. Had 2 flags out also.

Shot a 243 and a 242 with the Annie. Shot a 238 and a "216" trying out JSB Exact Diablo 25.39 g pellets. These are not the RDs. I thought they had promise at times, but then I did have four misses and they were very inconsistent. This is not the pellet Martin recommends for the RAW and I wanted to test and see. Not sure why the RAW does not like the pellet. These have a very shallow skirt cavity and seem to seat well in the chamber. Anyway, I only have ONE tin, and I will try them again for group shooting on another day.

The two groups pic were taken using the JSB RDs, and I just wanted to check accuracy after I finished my N50 cards.

Thanks Thomas. Happy Holidays to you and yours as well.

Nice shootin'. I'm envious of those that can go outdoors without 6 parkas on this time of year! My RAW definitely likes the redesigns and I haven't had good luck with anything else except the NSA slug experiment we did last summer.

Thanks Ross. Yeah, in NC ( and in most southern states) the winter temps are a joke compared to most other colder areas of the country.

I normally get out to the range around 8:30-9 am, and it can be anywhere from high 20’s to mid to upper 30’s in early mornings. But, it quickly warms up to low to mid fifty’s by afternoon.

I think your RAW has a Poly barrel, but not sure either. Mine only likes the JSB or FX branded 25.39 pellets. I tried slugs, but no-go. It does shoot the MRDs much better at 50y vs. 100 yards, but I have had some good ( but rare) EBR cards at 100 yards. More coincidence/luck vs. skill.

Yes, mine is LW barrel and does slugs pretty well.
