    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.

    Impressive shooting, and with 20 shots, truly representative !
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Sniper-wolf, that's excellent shooting mate. I would you to see what groups you get bench rested as well as to try it out to 150 yards.

    Thanks for the comment.

    Dont think I would like to go much more than 100yds with sub 12fpe, I will try to increase the range a bit more to see what happens.

    Nice shooting Mr Wolf. It's amazing what can be done with so little power. I noticed that the pellets still appear to be entering properly nose first so must be in stable flight, with the benefit of a spirit level and a bench rest who knows what's possible.

    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.
