10m Match Air Rifle Ammunition ?

[PhatMan]

Hello to All,

Forgot to emphasize that a group you shoot, is only a member of a whole family of possible groups that your rifle could shoot.

You will see this if you shoot enough ten (10) shot groups - some groups will be smaller and some will be larger than the 'norm', and most will be clustered around a central range.

I have seen many people very sad when they have shot a group that is not to their liking, and is bigger than the 'grail' group they shot once. They disregard all of the perfectly good groups that they shoot subsequently, and because of this, immediately begin to think something is wrong with them or the rifle.

Some groups you shoot with the same rifle & ammunition will be spiffingly good, some may well be crap(pier) and some will be sort of average - that is life and complex systems for you

Have fun

Best regards

Russ

Anyone using the new H&N Excites ?

Now I've got the F300S up and running, I tried the Excite Econs today after adjusting the sights.
Very good grouping with constant "ragged one holes" but I'd like to improve on that so different pellet brands are to be tried !
Of course the problem may be my failing eyesight but I don't believe H&N do new eyeballs !

Do barrels shoot a regular pattern of shots? eg out of say a ten shot group 1 to 8 p on p then 9 and 10 flyers, then back to 1 to 8 etc ?
PS sorry it's off topic, just wondered !

No. Its random, and very much more likely to be the shooters imprecise aim than barrel or pellets as long as they are reputable match pellets.
