a 4/5 shot lump of lead,during calibration of AAS410 .22

[davyt63 1,845]

hi every one

when Si & i had roger crooks AAS410 to calibrate it for him out to 50yds ,i think it was Si who got the tightest group using H&N FTT

well i pulled the lump of lead/group out of the board,and it goes to show right calibration and pellet,and marksman principle, what accuracy you can achieve

 

here are some photo's

 

 

 

 

CLOSE UP!

 

 

 

you can clearly see,4 points of impact,by the lines on the left hand side of the group,hence the 4/5 shot group. i believe one of the pellets is covered by another

 

so not bad at all

I remember when I had my S10 I did a 15 shot group that landed like that, the ball of lead it produced was awesome to see!

 

Good shooting guys.

Ummm I think I did mention this some where in another thread last week partner but didn't expand on it.

 

I had forgotten that you had kept that lump of lead.

 

That was at 30 yards and in a slight breeze off a bipod and after we had identified which pellet suited Rogers barrel the best.

 

That was the first group I shot with the rifle after Davy had set it up.

 

I bet Roger as to be happy with that .

 

And this is why I say time and time again that a .177 is no more accurate than a .22.

 

You cant get any more accurate than pellet on pellet, its physically impossible.

 

What is the difference is that a .177 is easier to gain better results with due to a flatter range estimating trajectory.

Si.

 

So youre trying to say Davy set the rifle up and then DIDN'T tweak the turrets for you afterwards??? :laugh:

 

nice lump btw, few more of them and you'll be able to weigh them in!!

Creating on lump groups is awsome when you get it right

 

Next time set up the video and film it, why? because if its a fairly dull in daylight, you can see the pellets "Glow" orange as the energy is turned to heat and they fuse together. I've witnessed it and it's fantastic. If you have a high speed camera ist great to watch it in slow motion

 

Nice one gent's, Roger will be well chuffed

Nice one lads, I've done that a few times with the HW100 and its a great feeling. I hear a lot that AA PCP's are very accurate and this goes to prove it.

 

One of my favorite tricks with the HW100 is to shoot a .22 pellet inside an empty .22lr case at 25m

We did film it Tony .

Great, you get in good and close to capture the glow?

 

I've only witnessed it at close range and it only lasts less than a second. It's really is quite an amazing thing to see.

 

I've got a couple of stacks of lead about 30 pellets deep, looks like a metal thumb. It was shot at 6 yards and when I saw the glow of the fusion I just couldn't help myself I just had to keep going till my air went

Jeeze! Thank God Si, said it was fired from a bipod rested rifle!!. Still tremendous accuracy. Well done.

Presumably off a bench rest :unsure:

no not at all,a bi-pod from a prone position

[risingfriend 1,042]

cant ask for any better than that can you.. very nice and shows how accurate most rifles are when setup right and in the right hands, superb
