Carbonrocket Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 My first ever .177 air rifle. I have always shot .22 and love the short range knock down but the slightly longer range .177 had been burning away inside for some time. Got the R10 and a Pellpacs packet of many different types of pellet to get the tightest group for the rifle. I shot 300 accu pells through it to bed the barrel in then started on the pellpacs. I shot a few! and got down to this, Logun Penetrators (in perfect still conditions); So after checking the hold over/under up to 40m I ventured out to the permission with happy thoughts indeed and I was quite pleased in the end indeed. This was the first evening against live vermin. Happy days and glad I spend the time punching paper indeed. I continue to paper punch now, I love it!

bullet boy Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I once was a .22 man and never wanted to try the smaller calibre until one day i shot a Ripley in .177 and now all i use mainly is the .177 in sub 12ft/lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbonrocket Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Goes to show that some barrels like different pellets. I have to say after poping the pellpac through the rifle I am happy with the current choice BUT!!! I will source a hand full of the one's mentioned to try with a more extended test on paper. If I can get even better groups then it's good news indeed. Cheers Carb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
