What's the minimum velocity that ensures a clean hole in the target at 20x.

Until the pandemic I was shooting Standard and Sport pistol comps at 25m on the turning targets at Bisley with an LP50 and R10 pellets. Scoping the holes is easy as it produces nice sharp holes, you will not get that with domed pellets. I have a full size pistol and will do a complete course of fire on one cylinder - 60 shots plus 5 sighters those that use compacts generally change their cylinders at 30 shots just to be safe. We do not crank up the output as it is not needed and seems to be far more reliable than those using real pistols to do the same thing but they do make bigger holes!

Hi Vic,

My LP50 cuts nice clean holes at 20yds using R10 pistol wadcutter pellets, I confess I don’t know the the MV is set at, but I can get a 60 shot standard pistol match plus sighters out of one cylinder, when the club reopens in December you are welcome to check the MV of my pistol if that would help.

Thanks for al of the input everyone, and especially Neale who I'd like to take up on his offer of comparing his pistol against mine as regards MV, target appearance and shot count.
