100M Target Shooting - Pellet Recommendations

[100m airgun]

Grouping in an outdoor situation with any .177 pellet and an <12 fpe airrifle is hardly to be achieved at 100m.
10 inch groups might be achieved. But < .50 inch groups will be very hard to shoot.

What's the Dutch word for *******...

That's a good group.

What sort of pellet was he using?

Cheers.

Hi,

The smallest group during 100m matches has been shot with a Theoben and JSB 5.51 ammo.

I was just about to ask a question about 100yrd shooting as yesterday I tried my R-10mk2 at 100,there was a bit of a wind and I was shooting at a 6/10yrd airpistol target.
I shot 10 rounds all went on the target but deffo no group,I have to say after the shoot I was disappoint thinking it would be a better than that but now I thinking maybe that was ok

You need heavy pellets (or bullets) and some speed. JSB Heavies, JSB Monsters and H&N Baracudas shooting at 860 fps or more would be my recommendation. .22 also has an edge here. people have tried .177 in 100M competitions but results have been poor so far. Wind really messes up things, in my last competiton the wind was really bad and I could only master 91mm 10 shot group. Take away 3 fliers and it shrank down to 53mm -> learn to read the wind.

I will try some heavier pellets,I assume you shoot of a rest

Best results , well ...

Let me rephrase that , from what i've seen, ONLY the JSB's group well at longer ranges. Keep the JSB's at around 275-290 m/s .

The exceptions are some type of RWS solids that are shot by ridiculously expensive high power air rifles.

I've tried literally every pellet at longer ranges, some with a much higher quality in finish and weight consistency, but they still group like rubbish compared to the JSB's .
Not sure why, but if i had to guess, JSB has their softness of their lead just right.
