    Long range with sub 12fpe

    Did some long range at the weekend on the 100yd range at Dowry Hill.
    I put the board at 100yds exactly, and once I was sighted in I shot a 20 shot group of 1.8 inches centre to centre. I was shooting with a friend and fellow club member who witnessed the group and measured it.

    I shot off the knee (standard FT sitting position)with little or no wind to speak of. It was done with my EV2 and Nikko combo running at 770fps.

    Was going to post this on the Long range thread the guy from Oz started, but can't seem to find it.

    I reckon in the right conditions and bench rested, this could be reduced somewhat. Anyone else had a go?

    Will take a pic of the group and post it up on this thread later tonight.

    pic of grouping

    This group was shot at 100yds as stated above. The pellets were Daystate 4.51s straight out of the tin.

    The outer yellow circle is 40mm, the same size as a standard FT target.

    Thanks mate. I am sure that on a very calm day and benchrested, I could keep them all in the 40mm disc.

    I reckon you should be pleased with that, I know I would be.

    Nice, I have an FX Bobcat 25 that is supposed to be able to shoot to 100yd. I haven't tried yet but when I look at ChairGun Pro it says my
    JSB's will hit the ground at 85yds. I am hoping it is wrong I am shooting JSB 25's 25.40gn @ average 820Ft/s,
    I would love to use them at 100yds but I dont have a range close
    ChairGun also says my 25 Condor and 25 TalonP wont make it either.
    So my question is what Fp/s are you shooting @
    If there is a post already addressing this I would also like the link, been searching. Don't want to hyjack the post

    Light horse , I think that you must be entering the wrong data into chairgun. You will have to re zero your gun or use mill dots to shoot out to 100 yards. Using the data you posted I have done some calculations using chair gun if you re zero your gun to exactly 5 yards it will be spot on at 100 yards, this is using the near zero far zero method.
