Combro arrived Christmas eve only been able to try it today.

 

Interesting results??

 

BSA Lightning XL .177

RWS Superdomes.......................9.4ft/lbs

BSA Elite...........................10.17ft/lbs

Milbro Match (wadcutters)...........10.34ft/lbs

Bisley Pest Control(hollow point)....8.72ft/lbs

 

Quite diverse results for a 6 month old gun...about 6/700 pellets through it.

 

Next

 

HW90 .22

RWS Superdomes..........10.34ft/lbs

Accupels (domed)........11.05ft/lbs

 

The HW90 is about 6 years old, I bought it from rabbitslayer (PW nice genuine guy)a couple of months ago.

 

The age it is maybe 6 years a service would bring it up to a par of around 11.5...not a problem.

 

However I am curious about the new Lightning..best result Milbro Match @ 10.34.

 

3 pellet average.

 

I do have to say the way both guns kill beer bottle tops (hole straight thru when hit square 15yards)they seem to be up to vermin control. Certainly fine for general target shooting & plinking.

 

Any comments would be more than welcome.

I reckon that if your HW90 is shooting consistantly, I'd leave well alone.

10.5 fpe is fine for hunting the recognised air rifle quarry and I bet at that power level it goes off sweet as anything - great for accuracy.

Better to shoot a bunny and hit it clean with 10.5, than to clean miss with 11.8fpe.

Plus if it ever gets checked, you know you are safely under the limit.

The beesa seems a tad low, AA field and FT Trophy's may produce a bit more oomph.

Only useful if they're consistant though (as always :D )

Hi Duncan..Thanks for your response

 

You're correct the HW does go bang ever so sweetly so as you advise I'll leave it be.

 

May get a bag of mixed pellets to experiment in the beesa, probably cheapest way to find a sweet pellet.

 

Well impressed with its accuracy though. Nikko Stirling 4-12x50 AO mountmaster (short of lamp oil so I need the AO)
