    One thing to check is the fact that the longs only just fit without pushing them right into the mag and as it was just a test to check mag fit, I didn't try turning the mag upside down or shaking it to see if any came out but that I will do. Edit I just tried that whilst sitting at the computer, the longs hold in just fine. Phil

    The stock looks superb Mac and I must confess to admiring your website Simon quite splendid pieces of art. My father was in the RAF and my son flew in both F1 and F2 Tornado's as nav and most of the paintings my father had of WW2 planes were passed on to my son for his gallery. Where abouts in Lincs do you live Simon. Depending on the route you are taking Jimmy, I might be able to meet up and buy you a coffee to break your travels mate. Phil

    Are they the short version or longer. I have just put a few of each through my HW100KT and no feed issues with either. I thought I might have struggled with the long version but no problem at all. They hit the spinners in the garden with a right crack. Your group look good at 40yd and will be interesting to see how well it hold together further out. Phil

    I don't mind telling you Rez that I have a private pension and thank god I have. I won't bore you with my details other than to say that had I no pension when the company I worked for got into trouble, I would be in sh1t street now. Fortunately I had paid off my mortgage so no pressure there but I only just have enough to see me until my state pension kicks in on the 1st Jan next year. My ex-wife worked in the pension industry and I remember that Scottish Widows were consistently at the top of pension performers so you can check them out, please take into account that my information is som

    That looks really nice Rez not that I am envious at all. Phil

    A friend of mine bought some in .22 for his Ultra. My first thought was, they saw you coming but I had to eat my words as he proceeded to smoke some pigeon and a couple of rabbits, no jumps or twitches..................dead. The range for the rabbits was 37yds and a little closer on the pigeon. I bought a sample of the standard and shorts just to try for myself but have not had time on the range yet. My thought was to try them on the rats but at £12 a tin hmmmm, we will see. Phil

    Well done that man. Phil

    Spot on Mark
  9. philpot
    I expected that sort of result with mine Mark as I did with my old RM8 but clearly not the case but to be fair as already said, it may be better with 4.52, who knows. I am happy to use JSB Exact or in no wind situation, FAP but after the Bisley Mag result, I want some JSB Heavy to try. It will all rest with longer range testing and when completed, I will post the result, just tricky finding time at the moment. Phil

    I am already tied up in a clay shoot comp that weekend but perhaps in August as I have never been to an airgun comp, what is the worst that can happen...........come last......so what. Have a great weekend Davy, I hope it all goes well. I'm with you Mitch, no facebook or anything like, if it is not on the forums, I won't know about it, Phil

    To be honest, I simply have not had the time or the weather/winds have been an issue. Hoping to get to the outdoor range next week but I want to get hold of some JSB Heavy to try as I have heard a few people say they work really well in the HW100 in .177 I am impressed with the bisley mags and never really gave them much consideration in the past, could be a big mistake on my part. I find it amazing how each gun of the same make and model can give such different results from another similar gun. Phil

    Perhaps it is worth trying some 4.52 Mark but the 4.51 are nothing short of garbage in my barrel. Phil
  14. philpot
    The JSB Exacts in the test according to the label on the back of the tin are 4.53. I will have to measure them.

    A really nice bit of wood now Mac. Phil

    Many years ago, i used to shoot rats on a fishing pond perm and a mistake on my part nearly lost me the perm. I shot one rat that went into the pond and as the light faded I forgot to get it out, the next visit, the owner had a go because of a floating dead rat so stick a long handled landing net in the car so you can get any of the dead ones out of the water. Litter pickers are great for picking up any rat and perfect for those in the water if you can reach. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LITTER-PICK-UP-EXTRA-LONG-ARM-REACHING-EXTENSION-TOOL-GRABBER-EASY-REACH-PICKER-/181489116836?hash=item2a4

    A productive small perm there, nice one. Phil

    I will be interested to see the outcome of your work Mac. So angry, I gave away 2 BSA Meteors and a ASI Sniper that I was given years ago and been left in the loft for many years, they would have been a good project. You got me thinking here Mac....................I want an old springer to work on. Phil

    Yes you are right Jonnie, just not quite as clean a hole as some but a 5p coin covers all but AA Field and RWS Super Field as I have just checked and found out. Phil

    As far back as man has been on this earth, men are 'hunter gatherers' by definition although through evolution we have changed to take on other roles both in our work but also in our pursuits, it is just that some of us still remain in part that original group. I had my first gun, a GAT, air pistol at the tender age of about 11 or 12, very quickly moving on to air rifles and shotguns and so I follow in my grandfather's footsteps as he was a gamekeeper. At the age of 16, I was buzzing around Derbyshire on my scooter with a gun slung on my back eager to get on to feeding pigeons or to bag a

    I first started using AA Fields from the gun being new but after a couple of tins found I just didn't get the consistency I expected, I bought a tin of JSB Exact and straight away groups were tighter. I am not qualified to state that cleaning the barrel and leading up with new pellet really makes much difference as have heard so many differences in opinion that I don't know what to believe. On my little tests and ones done at shorter range in the garden do not show me the need to clean and lead up but again things may change at longer range. Whatever the result, I am enjoying the process a

    Yes I agree Mitch and looking forward to finding out. The Bisley Mags really surprised me though, did not expect such a good group. It may not show on the photo but they were the best group. The target spot is 8mm by the way. Phil

    The local range has reopened after some revamping and whilst it is only 25mt, it serves as a start until some of these winds drop then I will do the same at ranges up to 50mt (just for testing) at Humberside Shooting ground. The groups are all full mag (14shots) with two more mags to clear the barrel prior to these groups. The air cylinder was filled to 200bar on each group so no difference between groups in terms of air pressure and all shots are bench rested. I enjoyed the test and look forward to the next test. Phil

    Very informative post. Phil

    I can only offer my view on this matter by saying that it would be a backward step, buy the multi shot converter. I won't bother with all the details but I was very pleased to get rid of my RM8,front end heavy with power issues.....................don't go there. Phil
