What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

I have it on good authority that another thread participant is going to venture into cutting cards soon too. Time will tell …
But the blame, for all this fun, falls squarely on the shoulders of @Steve Milbocker for putting us onto it.

Ok. Igolfat8 threw done the challenge flag and I went for it. I made a quick and crude card holder. Got out the talon SS in 25 cal with scope on 9x and shot 3 practice. I then shot the first 3 with 1 shot each. I clipped #4 with 1 of 2 shots and decided to let it live. Then shot #5 and #6 with 1 each. Took lots of concentration and a good trigger press. You guys know how to have a good time. I will post again. Thank you. Dan

I like the blocks you guys have for holding the cards. I used a third hand with alligator clips and it was a little messing around to get the edge square to my bench. Wad cutter pellets helped me out a bit too I felt. Nice shooting fellas

After the talon SS in 25 cal I tried with my 22 PRod. It shoots really well Here is the PRod. So then I tried my .177

Here is the .177 in a Beeman 2027. Each line is a different pellet. While being minute of prairie dog it is not minute of card.

I have a tin of H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 in 4.51 headsize. I have been sticking with 4.50. I wondered how much difference (if any) there would be with straight from the tin pellets in the two "advertised headsizes". So on with a small test. I realize that 20 groups each would be more conclusive, but I am not only bored, but too restless to stick with such a test — maybe some other day. First I shot a mag of 4.51 sized pellets on the top two targets, then a mag of 4.50 sized pellets on bottom two. As I said, not really conclusive, unless I were to conclude that it doesn't really matter what head size? I measured overall group size, not center to center. I am interested in diameter of the group.

The one @12:00 I actually felt get away from me. I tried some FX pellets that are almost 14 Gr. I thought it might tame the 45 down a bit but I actually think it was worse!

Still stock reg and Hs settings getting some pellets through this new AG. After this target I adjust the trigger lighter and groups with 10.3 gr air arms cut in half
