Next time out to the range I will have to shoot my Sniper XR in .25 cal.

I have one in .22 unregulated, and am extremely pleased with it.

I sure like my .25 caliber. I sent it back to AOA and had the power tune done.

How much power does it make now?

How much power does it make now?

Running 33.95 JSB’s at 943 fps and getting 67 ft-lbs. I also polished the barrel. It’s very accurate gun.

I’ve got to admit I’m very impressed by the apparent accuracy of the .20. I really have to wonder why its ballistics are so good.

Thats the thing. If you use 177 slugs bc as a guide the larger calibers bc seems to be much less than advertised. No idea why

Ghost HP .25, AEA 29.5gr, 130 bar power wheel 7 or 8, 900fps, 101yds, 8-13 mph winds. Time to make a bag rider. Average MOA = 1.38

 

[Billm]

Sonoran .30, AEA 50.5gr pellets, 185bar, 2-3% slug tune. Yes the same tune I used for the slug 5x5 with AEA slugs. 890fps. 8-13 mph winds. 2.5 SD. Average MOA = 1.97. Absolutely disappointing. My Sonoran either doesn’t like these higher speeds or the tune is too disruptive. For some reason, I seem to get tighter groups with 45gr and 50gr pellets at 160-165 bar 850fps.

That's good shooting

Sonoran vs .25 Caliber Sniper XR with Power tune

Sniper for the win today

I do wonder if the .25 would be the ideal caliber for the Sonoran.

Can i come stay at your house for a month?

The only thing my Sniper needs is the SubMoA barrel, I am hoping they will come out with a sub MOA for the Sniper

When I need a replacement barrel for my Sniper .22, Shane asked if it was a magnum apparently that has more barrel options.

Mine isn’t so I didn’t inquire further.

Mine is the magnum, but I would like the sub MOA barrel if they ever decided to make one.
