Hello everyone,
OK shooting today under a severe handicap, ate so much food at lunch that one eye is swollen completely shut and the other eye only open about 25%
.
Man what a beautiful first day of the year, 60 degrees, clear blue skies and light winds, so after cleaning the barrel on the Brocock Sniper XR I decided to just mess around and shoot various pellets. Shot several different targets with six different pellets and different Power Settings. Picked up a Tin of RWS Meisterkugeln Wadcutters and had the Power set at 75% and shot some one-holes .
Had a 30-Yard Challenge Target on the stack and said, what the heck, shoot this at 10-Meters with the Wadcutters. I’m sure Ed @EPG would not allow this as an official entry so I will use it as my Paper Target of the day.
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 10-40x56
Pellets: RWS Meisterkugeln 14gr Wadcutter
FPS: ?
FPE: ?
Wind: 0 to 5 mph

I like the way pellets punch in these paper cardstock things I found on Uline. 1/4 in sticker dots or a sharpie dot. I find it nice and clean to shoot groups. They fit in my steel trap or easily tape easily to a box full of clothes if I want to be quiet.

I shoot in my basement pretty much every day. One day at work they were theowing away some fixture plates that had some 1/4” holes in them. I brought a couple different sized ones home. I lay them on a piece of used on one side. I lay the plate on the paper and with a fine point pen inscribe a circle. I shift the plate around and have 144 circles on the paper. I attach it to my rubber mulch back stop and fire away.

Hello everyone,
Took another break after eating lunch and shot the Niksan Ozark-TW. Wind still blowing leaves all over everywhere but still managed to score a 200. Resizing these bad JSB pellets seems to help a lot.

Scope: Vector Optics, Tourex 6-24x50 FFP
Pellets: JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr / resized 5.53
