85yds with Daystate Mk3 .22

[flims]

Scott, the one inch question realy depends on the wind, if its consistant or more or less so lets say if it does not fluctuate between +/- 2mph the gun can hold that to 90m fairly on a regular basis. My average groups out to 122m is about 2-3" occasionaly, 3/10 groups will be hovering around 1MOA.

past 130m the gun will be holding about 2-4 again depending on the fluctuation on the wind speed and direction or combination of both. the wind drift data i have is very accurate since its based on alot of shooting sessions.

past 140m the largest stringing i have is usually vertical rather than horizontal. the variation of 25ft/s over the number of shots can string groups vertically to about 5inches at 140-160m. i always suspect that the variance in weight of those pellets out of the tin is one of the problems. The gun is not regulated and i dont think they can come regulated at 57ft/lbs.

here are some of those exceptional groups.

170 yards (this was before i changed to metric data) notice the angle of drop!! its quite steep almost rainbow trajectory at that distance.

this was 160yards if i remember well. this was during the data gathering period from the 1st year i had it before i customised it and changed to metric scope hence all MOA data. the bottom group was shot first, then i dialled in some more to try to center the group on the aiming mark.

when im back home i will try more at 170yds shooting over a chrono with weighed pellets and in good conditions and we'll see what we can achieve
