Daystate FT 4.53 Pellets (Test)

[airgunner2388]

I took my Logun Axsor Carbine (Tasco Sniper 10x42 Scope) out today and tried the new Daystate FT 4.53 pellet.

First off was a zero at 35 yards shot in the prone rested position.

35 Yard Target

I then went in to my mates unused stables and measured out 15 yards and fired a group standing rested.

15 Yard Target

After returning home it was in to my Gun Room to recharge the Axsor to 3000 PSI and then up in to the roof to do a Chrono test over 40 shots.

You may need to look hard at the print out as I can't get it any larger.

It is a well-known ballistic thing that putting an over-sized bullet in a bore will make the bore the dominating factor. It is why the concept of choked barrels was invented.

Please, a word of warning about muzzle energy. If you would like to use "tight pellets", please don't re-adjust your power settings to get back up to your 12 fps, as you WILL have an FAC Weapon, as measured with slightly slacker pellets, and you might well fail competition scrutiny as well. I am not being a wet-blanket, but you need to be aware that nothing comes for nothing, particularly with Mr Plod, as he may well test your rifle with Accupels and Hobbies.

If you do FT only, that may not be an issue, but as a well-known local (with permission) hunter, I'm getting increasingly hassled by the County Police because of reported airgun misdemeanours, despite the representations to my credit from the local force.

We live in strange and disturbing times, and I would hate that you would fall foul of those, for a minor nuance of our enthusiasm.

I doubt that this makes sense to you, but my warning is heartfelt.

Alan.

Surely to draw any conclusions there should be some sort of comparison?
