Ghost Wow! Talk about easy barrel change!

[tec]

Well i got out today for a bit to shoot @ 50-100. Was cold and drizzly 40*f shot 25 mrds and 25 jsb 2 slugs. The slugs showed promise at 50 but fell apart at 100 didnt adjust speed shot both about 940 and only ran a bore mop and a couple patches thru the barrel. Ill let the pics speak for themselves

Oh these are mag dumps except for left target last pic is 5 shots. Think im going to polish the barrel a bit see if i can do better

I have been finding that the diabolos (JSBs and H&N BM) out of my .117&.22 HP barrels are 40-45 yrd most accurate at ~860 ft/sec

Most everyone says they shoot mrd’s faster I don’t know what speed is best especially since everyone says mrd’s are very inconsistent and throw lots of flyers. Thats why i got the 25 first but since jsb apparently made some new dies for the mrds to make them like the old ones everyone liked i thought id get a barrel to try them when they come out. Ill play with velocity till i run out of what i have but was anxious to try. Nice at 50 though!

That was my observation today that the .177 JSB Exacts and Beasts were tighter than the MRDs…at first I kept the MRDs ~800 ft/sec to be sub 20 ft-lb, but then started upping their velocity to see if they tightened up…maybe a little but still bigger groups than the other two (I need to get some Exact Heavies)

Push the velocity higher see what happens. I don’t think you will like the heavys

Did a little velocity tuning today. Cold and damp again and windier than yesterday best group of the bunch was 3/4” @ 100

Got out again today for a bit 3 3/8” 5 shot groups @ 50 yds tried 17.5 216 nsa and 23 2165 nsa neither made me happy at 50 but the mrds made me smile but had to sort them first. Really hoping the new mrds dont need sorting cause it sucks!

Sorting is miserable.

Nice shooting Solo... The slugs weren't completely horrible at 50 but their scrap when u compare to the pellets! Did you sort those mrds on the first cards you shot (Friday's post)? Hows the shot count on it with the .22 vs the. 25 barrel with the speeds your currently shooting you think? Very curious.

The nsa s i shot last were all over @ 50 and no they weren’t sorted on the first card. Shot count is down from the 25 not sure why i was getting like 45-50 in 25 but now am getting like 35 or so. Shooting the 25.4 pellets @ 960 fps seems awful fast but its working. Franklink says the barrel is 1in 30 twist so perhaps thats why it needs the high velocity. The ko slugs were a pretty large group @ 50 and terrible @ 100. Thats why i only shot at 50 last trip out.

This is a pic from the first day. Why sort? You could say the difference between the top group of 4 was a change of wind from the bottom 4 but I don’t think wind necessarily explains the outer 3

Lol, I had similar groups with my tx200 last weekend! Shot 10 and 4/5 pellets were same hole and than another 3 or 4 were same hole but an inch or so away... Wierd. I've heard the mrds can even stay stabilized in the low 1000fps in some guns! We patiently wait for slug barrels . Also that's def not a great shot count hmmm!? Thanks 4 update.
