The Dif Between 5,51 And 5,52

[bigmac 97kt 13,806]

Just a little but a big dif when shooting

 

now iv been shooting out to some good distances over the past week (targets only lads) as most of you know and some of the results have knocked me back

 

now i could not put my finger on why both the 60 yrd targets have looked like they had been hit with shot out of a scatter gun lol

 

Even little hunter was having trouble scoping in his rifle last night out to 27yrds

 

but he changed back to the old tin of pellets i had in the back of the tank but i did not know and i was still on the jsb jumbos 15,89 head size 5,51 the new batch i had bought

 

all of a sudden he started to group mint (they would head size 5,52)

 

It was not until we were on our way home i remembered what Viz had say,d that the head size was dif to what i normally used

 

So iv had a plink in the yard out to 18 yrds as far a i can go at home

 

1 MAG OF 5,51 ,,,14 SHOTS

 

2 MAGS OF 5,52 ,,,28 SHOTS

 

THE RESULT SPEAKS FOR ITS SELF

£4 difference between the tins, are the 5.51 an old tin. The 5.52 seem to do the trick mate, melt the others down for fishing leads.

Makes a difference , BSA guns prefer 4.53 or 5.53 the difference is unbelievable ,especially at distance

Just shows the importance of finding the right pellet and head size

You got that right mitch

 

im not a great shot but im not bad ether i can get the job done when i need to lol

 

but if there grouping like that with 5,51 at 18yrds then over 60yds they will scatter ten fold

 

i even took the camo off the mod to see if the mod was loose it was doing my head in

 

then took the mod off to see if they were clipping the mod

 

I had to stop and have a smoke to calm down lol

 

The bairn was trying to tell me but by then i was gone and ended up telling him to go back to his shooting or words to that afect .

 

Phil ,,,they were new tins just from a dif shop i think he had got a bulk supply so he could sell at a lower price

 

JUST NEED TO GET BACK OUT AND DO THE 60YRD TEST AGAIN WITH 5,52 THIS TIME

 

from this at 18yrds to this at 60yrds
