What speeds are you shooting 30 cal for smallest groups at 100 yards

[XSUltimate]

Just looking for the range of speeds shot for 30 cal. Looking for info on where to start. ........... rifle brand, barrel length, speed, pellet weight, lubed or not etc

I Have a wolverine I want to give a try, its not regulated 100 FPE. Any wolverine shooters out there that have info? Do they shoot slugs well?

Thx

Dan

850 to 875 FPS for best accuracy with my 303 Daystate Wolverine —- have not tried the heavier JSB’s or any slugs yet

HI my Edgun R5 shot best with my cast 48 and 52 grain slugs around 92 fpe so like 900 to 920fps

my evol shoots best with61 gr to 66 gr slugs at about 100 fpe I can push it higher but then harmonics and shot count suffers



Now with pellets I find most 30 cals shoot best at 850 to 880fps

both guns shot 1 moa or better ,

here is a group i shot last week , off a tripod in about 10mph wind standing 100 yds I am sure with no wind and shooting prone with bipod and a bag or seated in a sturdy table with no wind it would be much better

My FX Boss (Original Smooth Twist Barrel) shoots lights out @100 yds. 44.75gr JSB's @ 876fps. 850-875ish fps seems to be the sweet spot for most .30's.

I'm in the same ballpark here with the FX 44.8 out of the Maverick. 5 shots @910.

Good feedback guys, I have a starting point. I purchased an inline regulator so I can run tethered while I am dialing in.

Really Nice groups JWRabbit and 2L8. I hope I can get close to that with my Wolverine.

Bertman77mk2, Being my first wolverine, is there a way to tune the FPS with the woleverine? Easily explainable?

Thanks for all the great information guys, this will definitely help me out of the gate!

Does lube help at all?

Is there any benefit to fitting a regulator in the Wolverine? Any down side to adding a regulator?

Thx
