What springer did you shoot today?

10fpe is slow for that rifle, did you buy it new? I did tune my old 77K down to that level one time, and it shot pretty sweet. But I ended up bringing it back up to 13fpe, which is also pretty sweet.
Your rifle should be the same as a HW95 from the factory, anywhere around high 13's to 15 fpe I would think.
JM has a few springs that would work, but you would probably need to make guides for it, and he has piston seals, as well as Vortek. TBT has kits also and you can contact him as well.

It must sound crazy to a few but I can dress to cold. I only shoot 45 min. to an hour or so before I start to feel it. Take a break, switch guns or work on them. Then shoot again. I’m heavily protected from the wind.
A big bonus I can see where all shots go, misses and deflections with snow as a back drop. Crow
Forgot to send.
Busy with family today.
Merry Christmas everyone. All the best to you and your families.

Had a short time before dark wanted to " Compare A shoot " pellets @ 1.2 grains different weight . Eley Tenex 8.2 grain and RWS supermag @ 9.3 grain.
Used a HW55 @ 50 feet / 16.5 yards . Used the same aim point = dead center on bull . The Eley @ 8.2 grain shot on the high side of the bull and the 9.2 grain shot on the low . tomorrow i will adj. the scope to be dead on .

Thanks, I’ll see what it looks like inside. Vortek only has sub 12 kits for it at the moment. I was thinking 10-12 fpe was slow. It’s just SOO smooth cocking and shooting.

I see this one on the TBT site, it sounds like full power.

My first coin worthy 10 string, almost.
Put a whiff of blue on the Williams elevation and windage screws after cleaning.
It’s only 45’ in the basement. Plenty of room for me to learn and smile.
Merry Xmas and happy holidays all.

No, I didn’t buy it new. I couldn’t leave it at my gun dealer’s shop after I laid eyes on it, lol!!

looking good, how do those baracuda 8's fit in your barrel, tight, loose , or just right? I can barely get them in my 30 barrel, is why I ask.

Thanks, Brother. They fit fine. JSB Exact seemed to slip in a little too easily. AA had a wide/tight skirt. I also set all my pellets. FTT seems to be #1.

I made a mistake. I meant I use a pellet seater.
Easier on the thumb (I wash my hands over 20 times a day at work and winter isn't kind to the fingertips) and for some reason I don’t want to touch the seal each shot.

OK, so you push it in past flush?I made a mistake. I meant I use a pellet seater.

Fun fun fun, with the 35e. Had some really awful mixed with great shots. I actually clipped two of the hanging targets, strings dropping them to the ground.
I was using .22cal JSB 13.43's, at 75-yards.
The wind was all over the place, switching directions before I could shoot, rendering compensation useless, then laying down for a flurry of shots.
The scope was still coming down the rails, improving my eye relief, but causing elevation re-zeros about every hundred rounds. I shot a whole tin, bringing the total shots for the new gun to apx 750. Scope slippage was about 3/8" for the whole tin.
As I finished off the tin, I noticed the rifle starting to fire early, but the issue still hadn't dawned on me yet. I thought wow I need to lighten up on my grip. When shot placement finally took a back seat to the problem, I reached down and screwed the adjustment screw back in with my finger's.
On the bench:
I lubed the cocking shoe with moly to smooth the stroke back out.
I put some blue lock tight on the weight adjust screw, "which would unscrew itself", then I wanted to take some creep out only to find that T8 screw as loose as the other. it was so loose that I didn't how much I may have moved it. So I tightened the spring pressure, and "carefully" took it and test fired it with a hair trigger. I got all that set propper and put red locktight on both adjustments.
I mounted the HW95's scope on it for a test run because those rings don't slip.
Test time L8Ter!
