What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today
- Thread starter ThomasT
- Start date
Mike
Went back to the range for more slug testing…kinda depressing day. No clear choices this round. Knew this was going to be a long process, so I got the unlimited range membership. I will adjusts the speeds and try again. Used some NSA slugs 25g- 28g. I don’t think they had enough spin to stabilize at the current settings. Anyways, here’s the mess..sometimes testing goes well..sometimes it doesn’t.

Hello @manabeknives
Hey it's not my fault, but if you do get weak tell Izzy to tune it like he did for mine.

9R is definitely the pellet (AA 16gr)! Excellent group!Final target of the day for the notos
I was filling to 3k and shooting 12 rnds. I decided to 3300 and got the best groups.
9R was the best 3 shot group of the day.
My Chinese chrony went dead mid day and I can’t find the charger
Hawk 3-12 Airmax
The last I recorded the 16gr were going about 715 fps
First part of the day I used a 0db 110C
Best groups came with a DonnyFL Sumo
1L- Hades
1R- JTS 18gr wadcutter
2R- AA 16 gr
2R- JSB 18 gr

i had different weighted slugs, so i wasn't adjusting the speeds. I had 27.5 g @ 865-870 fps. the 28.5g @ 840 -850 fps and the 24.8g @910 -920. Not that zippy.

Hello @Ranchibi
Thank you and no doubt about it the Rifle Rest makes a "rifle" a lot better. I'm taking my time using the Rifle Rest and trying to learn from each shot that I make. All the things ( breathing, hold, etc., etc. ) that you normally do when shooting I am doing with this new unit. However the HUGE difference is how solid the rifle is and how it stays "on target" vs when shooting from a bi-pod or bags. This "thing" is sure a lot of fun to use.

Hello @igolfat8
I am feeling a lot more comfortable with each time that I use it but still learning. There is a big difference between a "standard stock" vs a "tactical style". The standard stock when in place just does not move even after cocking, but the tactical style just does not have as much "friction" surface so it is not quite as solid. I made a slight modification to the Tactical Yoke and that has helped a lot.

Like you Thomas, stability and breathing helps so much by minimizing movement! Ross turned me on to Mini Lab Jacks for the rear rest and it helps me exponentially which isn't saying much...
! But your rest is VAULT LIKE! I can imagine movement is almost negligible!

Hello everyone,
Another cold misty morning and not good for shooting paper targets but I decided to test shoot some AA 18gr pellets with the Ozark-TW. Out of 40 targets there are 7 that were a close miss or just barely on the ring, so appears the Ozark doesn’t like that AA’s. I still have about 10 more pellets to test with this rifle but will wait for a perfect day where I can shoot them all in one period.
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters
Rifle: Niksan Ozark-TW .22 caliber
Scope: Vector Optics, Tourex 6-24x50 FFP
Pellets: AA 18gr resized to 5.53
FPS:
FPE:
Wind: 5 to 10 mph

The Revere/Regals from Daystate are the best sporter PCP's in my humble opinion! So ergonomic, light, comfortable and yup, ACCURATE and reliable as anything out there! Fantastic card

Break one out of storage and it still does that to a card! Nice wind cheating shooter you have with that Revere.

OK, just to join the fun, I shot 2 cards with my HW44. One was with FX 10.3 grain unsorted and the other with Baracuda FT 9.57 grain. My feeling is that nothing can beat the HW44/Baracuda FT combo. If I were shooting FT, that's the combo I'd use — at least with this particular pistol.

Hello @rsfrid
Yes I can see the difference, BUT, they are so close. I also know if you shot 10 cards with both pellets that the Baracuda would be the best, BUT, you are just a "picky ole dude"
.Ross you have mastered that Pistol, that is some excellent shooting
