I was out this morning shooting my P17 at 50-feet. Taking a break from silhouette for a bit.

What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
My new to me TX200 in .177. Some pellet testing and generally getting the feel for it. Super smooth, sub-12 fpe, very accurate. Actually shot it yesterday, today was my PCP's. Felt like I was cheating...

They come in .177 as well. I have been using some in my TX200 and they shoot unprepared really well. I prep (weight sort, lube, etc.) other brands.

Last time I posted I had been shooting cans off hand and said, "Don't ask me for groups."
That got me thinking yesterday that maybe I could actually try for some groups with my cheap magnum springer. Here they are:
25 yds
Gun rested on the back of a chair
Ruger Air Magnum .22
JSB Hades 15.89 gr
No scope, but used a "See All Open Sight"
These are both five-shot groups. I always have one flyer of course...but I'm happy with the bottom group.

After getting a new gas-ram installed in my Webley Tracker Deluxe .22, did some sighting in at 30yds with Superdomes pellets. Once I had the old Sport view 4x scope signed in was getting 3/4" groups which isn't bad for this gun, which is shooting @10.5 ftlb.

I've tried Superdomes in all three of my rifles, all of them spray that pellet all over the place. Superdome is a good looking pellet too, and clean. Crazy huh.

The Superdomes (and Hobbys) seems to work well in many of my old British guns, particularly my Webley. Also seems to work well in my HW98 but many guns don't like them.

Unseasonably warm again yesterday, sunny and high 30's F. Took the .177 D48 out back for a couple of hours, plinking tin cans at 40yds or so with Crosman Premier brown box 10.5gr domed. Fine pellets for the money.

Sweet gun.
You must be getting the same weather as me. On Feb. 8th I actually saw 2 big earth worms out with ice and snow nearby, first for me. Crow

Got this old Beeman R10 rebuilt with the spring, spring guide, top hat and seals. Haven’t put it on the chronograph yet but it’s quite a piece. The gun was neglected and had to be cleaned up. Including the whole rebuild kit I have a bit under $300 in it now. Too bad they didn’t take care of it… On a brighter note, the bore and trigger are great so it shoots well!
