What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

[Greenarrow]

Found time to shoot a couple 10M indoor cards today. My scope was still set to 50’ so I was holding over 4-5 hash marks. I should have zeroed my scope at 10M but I was lazy and in a rush.

That’s some awesome shooting! Please tell me that was a benched rifle….

On 01-31-24, indoors at 20 yards (measured), from a table, sitting, using my 12 FPE .177 FX Impact M3 and a M16A1 target - I shot a sub 1 MOA 5 pellet group of 0.191" Edge to Edge. 1 MOA at 20 yards is 0.209".

According to my log book this was my 221st target since 01-01-24.

Tim, very very special cards! You're ability to focus that well on each shot is fantastic!

Thanks guys. I wish I could claim it was shot offhand but sadly I must confess it was shot from a wobbly bench on wheels that sometimes has a mind of its own.

Thomas, another excellent card and it's nice to see your barrel being non pellet picky!

Hello @Ranchibi

You know we want all "hits" on the MOA circle, but if you look most of the "misses" are really close. However still a miss shooting a paper target but that is a dead squirrel at 25-yards, times 30 .

It looks like the CTS‘ don’t like your barrel as much as JSBs.

 

[manabeknives]

i think they mis labled ..should be near-center I was thinking of trying that brand...but maybe not..Great shooting on your part Thomas!

Tried different speeds at 50 yards. Used MRD 25.39 weighed In a RAW HM1000x .22. Not seeing much of a difference when changing speeds, but a few more to try out
practice,practice

 

[Ranchibi]

Mike, your are doing your part and so is your RAW! The misses are the MRD's. Are the old/newer ones out yet?

Not yet. I should get a notification when they are going to be shipped.

i think the most positive experience i can get from using these current MRD's( they are terrible) is not letting my last shot affect the next. I am starting to get used to Head-scratching errors and able to get to the next shot without dwelling on "how did that happen?" In a match, i tend to do this. And there are a lot of those moments when shooting these. i got to take away something positive from this.

Hello everyone,

OK, I shot the last two “re-shoot” pellets on a Full 25-Yard MOA target this morning. These scored very close to the original 10-shot test. The Sniper definitely does not like the H&N Baracuda 18gr, however it did shoot the heavier JTS 21.53gr pellet fairly well. None of the pellets that I re-tested shot as well as the JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr, so I need to spend a bit more time trying to fine tune the rifle to shoot the JSB.

WoW ,,,the "near-centers" are better than the barracudas in your rifle..that is interesting! Do you think it is the quality of the pellet, or the weight that is making the difference?

I really do not need to buy more pellets, but i am scratching barracudas off the list
Great shots Thomas

Hello everyone,

Great shooting conditions early this morning before the sun rises above the trees. I figured that I had better shoot some paper targets before the winds get to blowing too much so I set some targets out at 25-yards. Shot a few times at a warm up target and the Sniper XR was shooting so good that I decided to shoot an 8 by 8 Competition target.

"before the sun rises above the trees." unimaginably early !

Hello everyone,

My last card for the morning is shooting the ole Bad JSB Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr right out of the Tin. Couple of the skirts were missing a small area and a lot were deformed and yet I scored a Perfect 30-Count ? What can I say, the Sniper XR likes JSB pellets
