Phantom 631 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Alex, cheers for the vid Did you say that the Storm is a sub12? (memory bad, no come to think of it I dont have a memory at the moment:icon_redface: ) The Rabbit Mags weren't they designed for FAC Air rifles? Think they operate best at something like 50+ ft/lbs (sure I read that somewhere) Phantom Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi Alex. Nice Footage mate, interesting results too. I was using JSB exacts .22 15.9gr in my HW100T was getting avg of 571.40 FPS = 11.53 FTLB approx. Thought I would try the Accupells .22 14.4gr and was getting Avg of 602.4 FPS = 11.61 FTLBS. The above readings were taken in relativly cold conditions, so it will be interesting to see the difference when the weather warms up a bit. Also the rifle has only had about 1500/2000 pellets through it. Both pellet types grouped very well, but the accupells gave me crap sight readings using the Hawk BRC on 12x Mag, they didnt have as much clout at the target either, and seemed to be very hard pellet compared to the softer JSB which are pure lead, and I reckon slip through the barrel smoother. So I have now cleaned the barrel and gone back to the JSBs. ( Purfic ) Its nice to try out the different types an see the results, even though time consuming. Im thinking of experimenting with head size next, to make full advatage of the rifling. All good fun a ?? ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post

Bill. hi bill i think that is one of the disadvantages of the gunpower series is the internal diameter of the barrel... it a .22 but i think a large .22 like maybe 5.56 rather than 5.52.... now i know were only talking tenths of a mm but i do think it makes a difference as the rabbit magnums and jsb didnt really need any effort to push in but the accupells and bisley's and the dyno TAC's did... a tighter fit will increase the effect of the rifling of the barrel in turn give a greater spin and stabler pellet trajectory ...... in theory let me know hoe you get on... thanks for the feedback bill lex Quote Link to post
davyt63 1,845 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 hi Alex some nice groups there accupell's work fine in your storm then! try the magnums out to 35yds and see what groups you get,they didn't like my AAS410K.22 but have to do another test soon once the weather settles. well done buddy nice vid & shooting regards davy Quote Link to post

(memory bad, no come to think of it I dont have a memory at the moment:icon_redface: ) The Rabbit Mags weren't they designed for FAC Air rifles? Think they operate best at something like 50+ ft/lbs (sure I read that somewhere) Phantom yeah they are well to heavy for a sub 12ft/lbs rifle they are 24.4 grain but they main reason i think for the bad group is that the pellets hardly touch the side of my barrel i recon an asmatic field mouse could blow one of those down the barrel... im gona do some more testing tho as surly i cant be limited to 2 pellet types for my storm.... FX pellets?? ATB Quote Link to post
