If It Aint Broke.......

Well after a lot of pi#@ing around with other pellet weights and shapes the wind dropped enough for me to get a target set out at at my zeroed distance of 27 yards with old faithfuls....jsb exact 4.52 8.44grn and with a slight breeze managed a few nice groups.

Even what i was considering as flyers were still well under a 5p so im going to stick now with these. Apologies again for the crude targets lads!

Not surprised with a 100...

 

Dont know why you didn't draw round the 5p to get your circles round

[jonnie bravo 572]

Very nice mate, just hold the 5p closer to the camera they will look even better

 

Nicely done the exacts are top pellets

Not bad for a Springer at that range in wind

Hw100 pcp mate.

My tx would have done the same though!

nice going mate I think they all would be in the kill zone

You would be better of zeroing in at 35 yards .

What might be good at 27 yard ,may be not good at 35,40,45,50+ yards

Hi Matt,

If it helps any, i always zero .177 to 38 yards.

That zero pretty much keeps your pellet within a one inch flight path ( kill zone of 1") from 9.7 yards out to 38 yds.( no hold under or hold over required)

27 yards is way short to be zeroed, you should be looking at 33 yards approx to get the best point blank zero range....

[mattwhite 1,993]

I hear what people are saying about the 33 38 yard etc but ive found that at 12 x magnification..a 27yrd zero gives me a 1 inch kill zone out to 35 then 1 mildot holdover at 40, 1 1/2 @ 45 and 2 mildot at 50 which is usualy the max i hunt at. Very rarely do i get opportunity to stalk closer than 25 as its very open on my perms but i guess its whatever setup you have and what your most confident with that feels the best.

So in theory, one could zero at 9.7 yards then?
