Bullet drop is a function of gravitational acceleration of a falling mass and time of flight to termination. The mass of the bullet is of no consequence as gravitational acceleration is the same regardless of mass (weight). A 40gr .22lr at 1000fps during a .25 second flight will drop the same as...
I use an expensive molecular sieve filter down stream from a high pressure air oil separator on my Omega Air Charger. I'm in Vermont, it's humid here 75% if the time. The filter was around $400.-, it will last forever. Divide that by a dozen guns and many years of trouble free air, the cost is...
Hi folks, I recently bought a Jet2 177 on sale from Midway. It was pellet/pressure sensitive. After shooting 500 shots testing pellets and pressures it would shoot fliers even with the best pellet/pressure combination. Upon examination the muzzle crown was rough with tooling marks, a step may...
After shooting this rig for a couple thousand rounds now, I have learned alot. The pressure curve is severe on these. An excellent way to learn how to manage an unregulated gun. I 1st was shooting with no more than 120bar, indoors 5m. I added a silencer and it shot the MiesterKlugen 7gr well...
My new Jet2 .177 is wearing a 4-12 BugBuster. It shoots MiesterKlugen very accurately. It unfortunately does not shoot CHP's, well. It seems to me .177 is a fussier caliber for pellet/gun choice than 22's.
The Daisy 901 takes the prize for ultra low power. One pump accurate and reliable at 5m, 2 pumps at 10 meters. It shoots the RWS MiesterKlugen 7gr nicely.
There is a more subtle distortion ring available when crowding a scope. A blur ring. A little harder to see in low light. It's at ranges closer than set parallax that are the most affected. A 50yd set parallax at 5 yds can vary a shot 3/4 of an inch if one always sights in the center of eye...
Yes, that is it after some practice and familiarity with a rifle/scope combination. It is easier for me to have that field visible to learn the focul center into reflex. I believe you are pointing at that when you mention cheek weld. Once the hold is natural, then the outer distortion isn't...
The key here is, that exceeding eye relief shadow, when centered evenly around the view, puts ones eye in the same position every time. It is a reference to being consistent as per crosshairs on target.
Hi folks, Fixed objective scopes are set for 50yds (rimfire). Shooting short range, 5yds there is considerable parallax error. This is easily corrected by this simple method. Mount the scope forward unril a black ring is just visible around the ocular as you sight it. Moving the eye slightly...
Shooting indoors at 15' the Dragonfly is almost too powerful at 1 pump. I've been shooting my Daisy 901 with 1 pump. Excellent accuracy with both rifles, but the 901 wins the prize for low power performance.
