Thanks but It’s really just the rifle. I bag it good line up the sights and squeeze off the shot without me influencing the rifle as much as possible

This deck was one we have had for a long time. The cards were stiff and quite frankly sucked. I was glad to shoot them upUpvote 0
Mike, I like that shape of pellet, reminds me of the discontinued H&N Sniper pellets! Tim IGOLF@8 posted a pic of the Hawk 25gr that look similar to these.

Yes, I do believe they are a copy of that original pellet, which never shot accurately for me, out of any of my guns.

Tried some new pellets I saw at the local sporting goods store. Tried them in the FWB 300 S and my RWS 45. Not bad in the 300S and pretty fair in the 45.

Nice shooting! Enjoying the nice weather? Should be indoor weather for a few here in Winterland.

Since it’s so cold and snowy here in Michigan, I shot again in the basement. 5 shot groups are a favorite of mine if done with my precise HW44 177 cal.

Nice shooting your self! Yup it’s pretty chilly and a lot of snow. I’m pretty thankful I can shoot indoors. I live on a golf course so I can’t shoot outside here without going to the club. Then I just shoot powder burners. I can get 46 feet in the basement if I move things around but generally I just keep things at 10 M.

I got a little bored this afternoon so I headed to my basement lair to confirm my earlier findings on the FX pellets. Made a small sight adjustment and fired 5 for effect. Yup, they are keepers

Steve, I think you and Ross have been getting defective targets. I can’t understand why those holes are always in the center of them?

The 1st target I posted was off to the left a little. That’s why I made the sight correction, I’m OCD

I did shoot some paper, actually a lot of it, but not worth sharing pics of.
I did however like my 5 shots at the 75 M spinner.
Shot #1 the POA was dead center on the pig, i then clicked a little to compensate and impact #1 was then the POA for the last 4 shots that also included a click down and a click to the Right.
( some times you are better off not clicking )
13 gr .177 / 4.5 mm Zan slugs and of course my Epic Two, there was a little wind but not much.
PS. The nick in the back, that was while trying to get on target ( zeroed for 55 M )
EDIT:
I forgot to tell wheat was even better.
The 4 target Gamo spinner/ resetting target that usually are overpowered and so flip back.
Well put it up at 125 yards and at a slight angle and it aint getting overpowered
well at least not with 13 grain Zan slugs.
And the 1.5" or so paddles on it, well sufficient small target at that distance for a .177 rifle, my best " flip " was 3 in a row, then nicked #4,then flipped the last one and then reset them all.
So 6 shots for a 5 shot operation, at that distance i am thinking pretty darn cool.
Shooting papers at the same distante though those was a buzz kill.

3 groups of 5 @10 meters. RWS 45. All were fired with my hand resting on the front bag no rear bag. I was as deliberate to shooting with the same loose grip with good follow through. I expected to see more uniform groups. I guess shooting springers with moderate recoil is going to take more practice. Actually the last group wasn’t too bad. Since getting the FWB 300S I’m probably spoiled with what I expect for accuracy.

yes more powerful springers take a bit , first find the balance point on the gun ,hold and shoot , then move a little forward then a bit more . the balance point might be just in front of the trigger guard . some guns your forehand has to be in just the right place .
