.177 Dome or Wadcutter design?

[jps2486]

You are a sniper, all right. What range? What position?

10M off a sandbag.

As many have said wadcutters rule at 10 meters. I use them exclusively in my match pistols. They are very high quality, and the price is commensurate. For a 760 I would buy whatever field pellet shot best in it.

Can confirm my Legacy did not like the Meisterkugeln at 10M. It and jsb exacts were horrible, but maybe that was because of cold and snow.

Thought i just unlocked a cheat code with my TX200 today.
26yards with a light off & on breeze.
Finally got to shooting these Jsb wadcutters that i bought a few months ago and the first shot was way high....hmmm.
Next 5 shots? wow! had to take a quick pic, lol.
Sat back down annnnd it all went to big time... No fps reading but id guess we'll over 800fps.
I will bring it in to 20Y next time and see if that eliminates the fliers, they definitely do make nice round holes in the paper vs domes.

I can hang a ten meter target literally "in the air" and they will cut a nice hole on their way through.

I'm using QYS Olympic (they are a wadcutter) at 25 yards indoor and they shoot OK out to that.
Nice clean hole punched in the target card. No tipping or sideways travel from the pellet.
Rifle is a 9015HP if that makes any difference to the speed of the pellet.

What velocity are you shooting them at? I have a 9015 but not hp

780-785fps as that seems to be all my new brass reg will produce.
It's fine at that. Just shot a double card this week. 100.3 and 100.4 so I guess it's all working OK.
No fliers, no sign of any pellets tipping sideways.
