What'cha doing air gun related today?

Shot the custom G30 today. AVS 55 & 70 Grain slugs did very well and JSB 44.75 pellets 3 shot groups in one hole at 35 yards 949fps. Will move out to 50 yards when I get done testing different slug sizes. These slugs were sized to .298 some lighter ones that did okey were sized to .299. Slugs at .300 are too tight for the bore so I have been trying different diameters.
 
Actually spruced up a friend's rusty old Gamo Hunter today. Nothing special, just cleaned the never before cleaned barrel, wiped down the rust with some mp5 oil and molybdenum'd the pivot points. Checked all the screws, some were a little loose, on the scope too. He told me not to do anything special because he wasn't going to start treating it any better anyway. And he won't, so I didn't. Anyway, I chronied it and it is very consistent, just about a 12fps spread averaging 840fps with 8.3gr RWS Superdomes. The shot cycle and cocking were surprisingly good. The trigger was a very long pull, not that heavy and somewhat predictable. Squeezing it fast worked better than anything else. The accuracy at 15y was pellets touching each other making a bigger hole. I wasn't expecting that at all. It was actually a pretty decent shooter with an old antiquated fixed 4x duplex reticle scope utilizing the cheapest .22 rimfire scope rings that I have ever seen. I can't believe the thing holds zero. I was just shooting at a target on a woodpile, standing on the corner of a garage using it as a rest. No benching or sitting, and shooting basically one hole groups to my friends amazement, who now has no excuses for missing. The wood even looked kind of good. Except for the lousy trigger, I liked it.
 
I eliminated two squirrels from the yard, that’s it. First two using H&N Terminators. They made a good whack on impact, but they aren’t as laser precision as FX 15.9gr. I’ll finish the tin of 250, but I won’t be buying any more.

Today was mostly yard cleanup and fence fixing as a result of Hurricane Milton.
 
Would like to use my Notos with CP pellets for the pumpkin carve but at the slow speeds my gun was shooting it did not like the CP pellets. From reading the Ham review I knew it could shoot excellent with those pellets
Crosman Premier HP 14.3 Grain768.80 FPS18.77 Ft/LbsExcellent.
So, I turned my speed all the way up. I have a sore back today so I'm not going to do anything but I did shoot 2 pellets just to check the speed. The CP 14.3 now goes 778fps and Haydes 15.85 goes 757fps. I hope that the CP pellets will group well now as in the Ham report. Hopefully I can give them a try tomorrow. They are so cheap and easy to get I thought they would be great for pumpkin carving.

Been having a lot of wind lately but shot the 30 and found that with a tune of 950fps it stacks JSB 44.75 grain pellets and shoots AVS 55 grain flat base slugs sized to .299 very well. I plan to try 56 grain Zan pellets in the future.
