When To Call It A Day??

Pellet testing that is...

 

How far do you lads go before you make the decision which is best and ordering 10 tins?

After testing quite a few now up to 30 yds with good and bad results ive weeded it down to the RWS superfields 4.51, AA fields 4.51 and 4.52, and the AA express being the best ( all the above would hit a rat in the lughole at 25-30 yds so there's not much between them )

 

Keep hearing about pellet on pellet at 30-40 yards and i imagine it been 5 pellets in the same hole??

 

Not yet found a pellet that can do that yet but almost.. so maybe i'll keep on searching for that perfect grub for her?

 

PS.. let me know if this photo works (if it does i think ive cracked photobucket on the the samsung s6 mobile ) and if it doesn't i look like a cock..yet again!

Im thinking those results look good enough to me pal!.

Ive been f#*@ing about with pellets again today and after a barrel clean and pellet wash, my 100 is giving similar results as those with bis mags in 4.52 grn???? And hitting 11ftlb on the chrony.

I know that absolute precision is vital when hunting but looking at your group there you would take a blue bottles eye out let alone a rats lug hole pal, id stick with th AA's.

Photie worked..

 

GET IN THERE!! ☺

 

 

Still not decided yet but could be leaning towards the express.

Found the AA field 4.52 have the best punch and the superfields least with the express midway. 2 mags through the Combro reading 806-811fps for the express. Decisions decisions..

Nice one Steg.

 

At least 5 pellets in the same hole. If that's a picture of a multi-shot hole at decent hunting range, you've answered your own question. You've achieved a high standard of hold and trigger control you've reproduced identically as close as possible between shots, your rifle is superbly accurate and you are using the best possible pellet for its barrel.

 

Superb shooting with superb kit and the very best pellet I'd say! Buy a dozen tins and enjoy your shooting with it all. You don't need anything more than you have here

Thanks matt and simon..

 

Been out of the airgun scene a while now (following other countryside pursuits ) and only shot springers previously ( hawk, excel and eclipse ) so not sure what a good group is like these days with a pcp.

AA express all day long and by the way a pcp group would not be far away from yours in fact i would be chuffed to bits with a group like that from my hw100

 

i got a rabbit the other week at 50 yrds using AA express with a pro sport 177 perfect kill zone shot

 

1 shot 1 kill

If your doing that at 30 yards order ten tins mate

[steg 609]

These feckers are making it a hard decision..

 

Half the price with a fps spread of 21 fps..still reading 11.05 ft/lbs

if youre being picky Steg,

the express look a tighter group at more distance than the superfields

not a lot in it mind

 

try shoping around

£8.50 a tin! superfields would need to be £4 a tin to be half price

[villaman 9,983]

Both looks good , Most would love a group like that , well done

[steg 609]

Express it is!

 

Thanks for the link DJ (much better price than what i paid) gonna have 10 tins.

Can go on for ever testing if you let it..bit fed up of it now to be honest. Think my works done on that front..time to call it a day and enjoy.

 

Cheers lads
