OK, getting into this bullseye shooting stuff. Here's the results of two different pistols. I conclude they both do well at bullseye.

What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today
- Thread starter ThomasT
- Start date
Tried some Baracuda FTs in 4.51 head size just for kicks. Seems my HW44 likes a bit fatter pellet. My first 100-10x since PB days. A couple are close, but the dot was shot out, so they count! That's three shots in the upper sighter.

Hello @igolfat8
That is some incredible shooting, basically four perfect cards
. The 248's and 249 are almost too close to tell . The Crosman Challenger is an amazing rifle. Are you still shooting it "as it came out of the box" ? I never touched mine except to clean the bore and oil all the moving parts.ThomasT

Thanks @ThomasT . Yes, I am still shooting the rifle as it came out of the box. Most projectiles are crono’d at ~600 fps which is just fine for indoor 10M work. I am with you. I pull a patch every air tank refill and just enjoy shooting it as is. For $650 it’s one heck of a bargain in this day and age of high dollar PCPs.

Hello everyone,
Rain has stopped but still a fine mist in the air, variable windy, cold and overcast and surely not the perfect day to shoot paper targets. I received five new pellets this week and have not had the chance to do any shooting so I took advantage of this small window in the weather to do a simple test. I first sighted with the JTS Dead Center 18.1gr that I have been shooting and made no adjustments with the new five pellets. Nothing real conclusive but the first shot ( JSB Jumbo Monster 25.39 ) shot fairly well.
Range: Outdoor 25-Yards
Rifle: JTS Airacuda MAX .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: see listed

How FUN Thomas! New ammo is always a mystery until...nice! Some just might need a variation in speed for better accuracy but those MRD are spot on on same 18gr tune!

Hello everyone,
Cloudy, cold, rain on and off and windy, almost the perfect day to shoot , well maybe not perfect 
. Took advantage of a break in the rain and shot just one paper target. We need the rain so I will not complain.
