Running In Stage?

[MickHowes 9]

So after putting 200 ish pellets through my new hw100kt .22 I got it zerod pellet on pellet as was groupin within a 2p. Iv then such realised after wounding 4 rabbits out of 8 so it was 4 kills in 8 I am positive my gun isn't firing even anywhere close to 11 ft lb. anybody got a rough idea on how many pellets I should put through it to work it in and if I wrk it in will it increase my pressure / ft lb or do I have to try tuning it or send it back to hc. Really wat this rifle sorted as it's very accurate it just needs todo enough Danae to kill the quarry.

you have this going on two threads............................if you are hitting thing at a range then your gun is probably ok if your gun is shooting a bullseye at 10 yards an inch high at 20 yards and a bullseye at 30 yards then an inch low at 40 yards with aa field then you gun is probably fine .These measurements are about to give you the idea .

One. are you hitting the rabbits in the BRAIN ? just 'in the head' wont do.

 

two. anything over 10 foot pounds at the muzzle WILL cleanly kill at 40 yards if you hit the BRAIN .

 

you need to get your rifle chronoed. that's the only way to lnow for sure

Yep, behind the eye... Had somebody watch it thru his scope on 16 mag and assured me the fluf came smacking from behind the eye. I'll try get it heinous today

everyone should have a crono imo, if you can spend the best part of a grand on a rifle etc, what is another 40 odd quid?

[MickHowes 9]

It's Another month if you have bills to pay....... I agree, I will get a chrono I just need next months wages.....

Try and get it done a.s.a.p mate. Wounding 50% of your quarry is barbaric.

I ain't shooting any quarry atm, not going to until i put another 500-100 pellets through the barrell. Afew people have been saying that weihrauchs are heavy on the grease and that it will give more air pressure/ ft lb after a few tins of pellets as the barrel is run in/ broke in... i'm just going by a few peoples mentions. MY opinion was that the guns were ready to shoot out of the box as that's what a few videos and reviews gave out however after wounding afew rabbits im not so sure so will not be shooting anything until i get it chronod, and run in. Anybody agree with the greasing etc. and that u need to put 1000 pellets through it before it gives more power...?
