RAW REPORT

- Start date
I sure hope we are not having our guns delivered by the post office. What horrible service we get from them. I ordered a product, it was to be delivered Friday, then Saturday, now all is quiet. The tracking says the item arrived in town early Friday morning. Frustrating it is.
Ok, back to RAW guns.

Guys........ You are having too much fun here. None of you guys don't feel a little bit guilty your not waiting for Christmas? 
Okay neither would I.
Just pretend you are ecstatic when you get another pair of pajama bottoms and two salami logs under the tree.

I have waited this long, another few days is not that bad. But then I get to shoot lots and lots of pellets. And then order more and more pellets. My wife says she is happy I have a hobby that gets me out of the house. When I told her I wanted a "NEW" airgun she asked how much do they cost? I said guess? She stated, knowing you, about $2000? I said, close. What a lucky guy I am to have met and married such a wonderful woman. I could use another sleeve of JSB`s.

Speaking of presents. I was at the airport talking to a cop for IL. For a present one year he got an adult onesie pajama. I think I would be excited about that during this winter. It is super cold these days here.

I have a MTM shooting table downstairs that’s supposed to be my Christmas present but I might end up opening it up around 1:00pm on Monday heeheehee, only 34 hours left if we don’t get a blizzard or the Brown truck doesn’t get in a accident.
Best Christmas present I ever got was in 2000, Wife gave me a 2001 FLHTC(Electra Glide), she told me my 80 FLT was too old and I needed a newer Bike......

Tomorrow is Monday Imold,,,,,Whoooooo Hooooo!!!!!
Here are today's results, Indoor, at 45 yards. 2 targets. Pellet type is written in the top right corner.
FPS on each shot are listed on the right.
Bar reading is located at the bottom right.
Squares are 1" Square.
Black dots are 3/8" diameter.
Last pics are shooting at an aluminum sign .175 thick (almost 3/16" thick. The pellet left the sign and went 1/2 inch into a pine board behind it.....surprised me.
The lighter pellets groups are good enough for plinking at steel swingers but I'll be using the heavies the most.
Can't wait to hear you guys when you get shooting.

Wow that is some penetration. That surprised me also. Good thing I am spending my time building a back stop for when my gun arrives. The back plate is 1/4 inch thick.

My targets will not have backstops. I look forward to bone crushing pass throughs. All this to dispatch vermin. I could have bough 6 or 7 plastic stock guns from China. What was I thinking? But then I would not have 60fpe to do long range work.
Imold, how many hours till delivery?

Indoors 45 yards. Buddy, friend, pal I will gladly pay you Thursday for some Range time today. I should build a wind tunnel at least. Really cool seeing you have such a great place to wring things out.
The .25 may well be the "best" cal I have come around to thinking. I do believe when I specked my .30 Martin ( knowing my shooting style, or lack there of, seemingly better than I do myself ) may have tried to steer me towards a .25. Being more of an FT shooter and if using an airgun one of the things that makes them shoot so well for me is the lack of movement so I truly enjoy .177 the most but if wanting power AND wanting a rifle that groups well pretty much just sitting on a bag unsupported by a human the .25 is the ticket. And as you noted still plenty of power. Love the .30, had one heck of a good time shooting the .357 w/slugs at 100, the HM1000 in .22 shoots one hole with a lot less thinking, and, I'm old.
Now can you add three 50' shipping containers at the end of your range stuck end to end? Just a thought.

22 hours away if my UPS gal is on schedule,she has alway been here at or around 12:45pm and she has kept this for over 10 years, I know this week will be busy for UPS but I’m hopeful that by 1:00 I’ll have some pics taken with the scope mounted and ready to shoot through the Chrono by 1:30, I don’t have any paper to shoot at so I’ll just be zeroing it in on a target 100 yards out on the lake...
I have a idea for a shoot n c target to put out on the lake so I can zero at 50 yards but will see.

I built a Warehouse in Sunnyside, WA for Dairygold cheese company 20 years ago. I really liked my year in Washington. Lived in Yakima drove to SS daily.
Hop on a plane I'll let you in to shoot. We have good lighting for evening events as well.

After shooting the .25 and seeing it's power I think I will sell my Air Arms S510 in .22 cal to order another HM1000X in .22 cal. I question why I need anything larger as I will only be snipping ground hogs, tree rats, opossums, and rabbits.
