Simulated ELR,

[Troy Bakel]

I tuned my 30 cal Impact to just under 80FPE using FX 45 grain diabolos.

Using 25 meter M16A1 Zeroing targets at 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards, I take 5 shots at each distance.

At 25, and 50 yards I can stack all 5 pellets inside the circle.

At 75 yards my average is 3 out of 5 over 25 targets.

At 100 yards I have never put 3 out of 5 inside the circle.

At 100 yards, the silhouette size should be equivalent to being at 686 meters.

I shoot from a table with the rifle's forearm supported by a bipod and the butt supported by my right shoulder and left hand.

I have a lot of respect for those shooting real ELR and shooting it well.

Interesting ! I went the other way , i shrunk the target . I shoot low power .177 now the shrunken target is 1 MOA @ 16.5 yards. That equals a center dot of .174 circumference and the inside edge of the next ring out is .179 which means i have to completely erase the center dot and not nick the next ring out .
you right i have not accomplished this yet , a few close but have always (majorly) nicked the next ring . OR not even hit the next ring hahaha

At 20 yards indoors with my .177 Impact tuned to <12 FPE, I shot a 5 pellet group of 0.191 edge to edge . I have been trying to go smaller but the twist rate is too fast causing the pellet to walk a bit when it hits the target.

If I can shame a good friend of mine into selling me his awesome MK2 I will see about replacing the FX barrel system wth a Lothar Walther 1:36 twist air rifle barrel and tuning to <= 5 joules.
