Hello everyone,
OK shot the Ross @rsfrid “Fly target” with the Custom PP-800R Pistol/Carbine ( top 2 rows ) this morning and the Diana Bandit .177 Pistol, ( bottom 2 rows ). Seeing the Flies with the Reticle Scope no problem, but I could just barely see the Flies with the Red Dot Scope. I will have to learn a technique to score better with the Red Dot.
Range: 15 - Feet Indoors
Pistol: Custom PP-800R and Diana Bandit
Scope: BugBuster Scope and Hawkeye Red Dot
Pellets: JSB Jumbo 15.89gr and H&N Sport 8.18gr Wadcutter
FPS:
FPE:
Position: Bench w/front and rear Bags / Bipod and Lab Jack rear

@ThomasT , Boy oh boy, there's quite a few maimed and PO'd flys on your target ... 
I shouldn't be ragging on you since I've not yet tried shooting them. What goes around might come around, eh?
Nice chootin' Ross but what are all those yellow circles on your flys? They must have a bad case of yellow jaundice

Avenge-X .177 PCP Rimfire Central 25/50 Challenge at 25-Yards: October Round 1
This is a rimfire challenge, so this is just for fun and giggles.
Rifle - Avenge-X PCP .177 (Base Model: Power Setting Low)
Class: PCP Air gun
Ammo: AA 10.3 Field Heavy Sorted to 10.2 Lubricated
Optic: Vortex Crossfire II 6 to 18
Front Rest: Bald Eagle Front Rest with Sinclair Bag Rider
Rear: Protektor #13 Rear Bag and Custom Bag Rider
The weather was 50 degrees Fahrenheit with about 50% humidity. There was a slight 0 to 5 mph wind. It varied in direction but was largely a cross wind.
The rifle is stock, and there are no tweaks to the gun. The bottle started the day at full capacity. I took a couple of shots to sight in the rifle. The shots all remained on the regulator. Tank pressure started at just under 300 bar. The regular was about 1800 psi. Low Power Setting.

Yes, the Longshot camera system I use has a delay. As a self-generated wifi unit it works well most of the time. However some days, the delay can be several seconds. It can be frustrating.

The Usual stuff for me, playing annihilate the red base at 93 M / 100 Y shooting 13 grain Zan at 970 out of the Two
Today before noon was quite nice, cold and grey but no wind i could use for a bad excuse.
Only photographed the first set of targets, it did become better as my shot string flatted out more, and even if in the end there was some wind, though by that time i had moved on to shooting things at 130 Y

Hello @Peashooter
Your long range shooting is most impressive and it looks like you sent a lot of lead down range today

Not as much as i liked, only 900 or so shots in 2 days, Friday was low power JTS pellet day + a bit of 10 gr JSB KO MK3
Today ( Saturday ) only been 13 gr slugs.
Next up a week of nothing CUZ winds are up, and temperatures on the way down, though still not crossing over into the water hardening range, but uncomfortable close next weekend.
Friday evening i did a test, using 2 miner oil lamps i kept the shed temperature at 14 deg C but outside it was only 11.
Made a mount for one of those lamp's on the upright that carry the back part of the benches, this way you can warm your finger over that lamp while seated at the bench.
Not yet sure the 2 heat sources in the shed can keep up, but we will get to test that soom as winter draw closer.

Let’s see, I took 5 shots at a target before I realized it wasn’t loading pellets as I cocked it.
So technically I guess I shot at nothing lol.
But now I have the swarm mechanism removed and am enjoying the single shot now lol

Hello everyone,
After shooting the Competition target this morning I remembered that I had not shot a comparison of my Wadcutter pellet inventory after the final tuning on the “Project-X” Pistol/Carbine.
I am able to shoot four full mags ( 28 shots ) with a good air reserve in the cylinder so I decided to shoot only two mags before refilling to make is as fair as possible for each pellet.
Not so bad, most of the pellets shot pretty good but the H&N Sport 13.73gr were just dead on target. When I have time, I will run a complete chronograph on the Sport pellet.
Range: Indoors at 15-Feet
Pistol: .22Cal Custom PP-800 R Pistol/Carbine
Scope: UTG Bug Buster 3-9x32
Pellets: See on target

Position: Bench w/ Front & Rear bags

Hello everyone,
OK I just cannot stop shooting the Project-X Pistol/Carbine this morning with these H&N Sport Wadcutter pellets
. You have to look real close to see how may pellets went into the same hole on some of these targets 
. That is 5 - shots at each 10-Ring.
