Defiants

[Ric O'shay]

Hello

Has any one attempted long range target using 177 Defiants?
Are they more prone to the affects of wind being so light?

So light in .177 at 7.5 grains and 15 grains ?

General consensus is yes, they are affected by the wind alot, the .22 are supposed to be alot better.

Has anyone (not connected with defiant distribution) actually used the .22 to confirm they are better as i found the .177 flavour a waste of space?

I have the Defiant try pack with 5.48-5.50-5.52 and the last two work fine in my Diana 54. I made a small combarison with JsB 14.3 and i find them almost the same in accuracy and BC. I am going to use them in paper target and long range shooting !

How about 1" groups at a measured 68 yards with .177 Defiants, from a Theoben Rapid 17FT, off a bench rest?
And Daystate Rangemasters, at one grain heavier, and from the same company as Defiants are as good if not better still.
And both out penetrate anything else on the market to boot - what else could anyone want?
