A Bit More Time With The Super 10.

[Jonjon79 13,358]

I'm enjoying this rifle more and more all the time. The HW100 was very good but, I'm now thinking that it may have just been a bit too slick and easy for my taste.

 

I like carbine rifles and, this old mk2 .22 S10 has enough character and noise to keep me smiling.

 

I recently swapped some pellet samples with Rabid. He recommend trying a certain pellet because they'd always worked well for him. He even threw in another type that I hadn't tried yet. Cheers Rob

 

I did some 10 shot strings through the Combro today while aiming at a 27yrd target.

 

I put some JSB RS (13.43gn) through first because they've been the most accurate for me so far.

These gave an average of 614fps/11.25ftlb with a variance of 14fps.

Then I tried the Rangemaster Kaisers 14.6gn

 

These gave me an average of 583fps/11.04ftlb with a variance of 17fps.

 

I don't think I'll be ordering a tin of these any time soon.

Then it was time for the recommended pellet - Defiant Ogive 16gn.

 

These gave me an average of 568fps/11.50ftlb with a variance of 9fps.

 

The first shot went slightly away to the left but, every shot after went where I was aiming. Yes they're slower than the RS but, they hit hard and, I'm happy with the consistency from this old rifle.

 

Now, I just need to find somewhere that sells them so that I can properly lead the barrel and give them the proper trial that they deserve.

Nice little posts them. What years the 10? Love the look of those old 10's. I think they look better than the laters R's.

There are two S10's in my local RFD for a lot less than that.

 

Nice result Jon, the JSB RS is the same pellet as Falcon Accuracy Plus. It seems the Defiant vary quite dramatically from feed back I have seen.

Cheers guys.

 

Mt RFD loves these and has a couple in .22 himself.

When I bought it, he did say that good examples are becoming hard to get hold of.

 

The serial number prefix 'DP' gives a date range of 1996-2008. I'll give BSA a shout to get something more specific.
