Nescafem Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I was already using AA s510 Xtra Fac .22 and thinking to buy an Hw100.But the airgun shop owner convinced me to not to buy Hw100 Fac in .22 coz the pellet drops quickly after 50m. So ı ended up with s500 Xtra Fac .22 Hope did well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 what sort of distances are you looking for, sounds to me you might of been better with a .22rf of ,17hmr would certainly be my choice for shooting over 50mtr, dont like risking it with a fac air rifle or sub 12ftlb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Its not the gun that makes the pellet drop at the end of the day-its entirely down to velocity and pellet weight.Why buy a single shot when you already have the same gun in a multi version?-i'm confused.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 would have to agree with bullet boy sorry but i think the gun shop has had your pants down just for the sale, you already have a fac s510 what on earth would you want the s500 in fac for,i just dont get it,why would you need 32grain solid pellets, i think your perception of air rifles is all to cock, just cant work out why :hmm: :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Am I missing something here,Nescafem?,Are you saying that its easier to load the single shot version of the 510? And why fire such heavy pellets when you have already displayed concern over the looped trajectory of an FAC HW100?-Why not save yourself a whole heap of grief and buy a Rimmie?

Nescafem Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Rimmies annual tax is too high here in Turkey and the ammo is limited with 150 :( So let me ask another question which one is better in accuracy,quality and shotcount wise ? S200 or s500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Why are we now introducing the S200 into the mix?Still trying to work out why you did'nt just buy a single shot tray for your FAC S510-would have saved you enough cash to buy a Rimmie surely?And why are you using 30+ grain slugs in a 30 ft/lb? Airgun then worrying about the looped trajectory? Not wanting to discredit you-just does'nt make sense to me?

Coz when we are field targetting we shoot over 150-250m.You need a fac rifle and heavy pellets and why im asking s200 is to buy one for my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Has me completely baffled The s500 xtra is a 30ftlb rifle, 150 metres with a 32 grn pellet, just over 3 and a half metres drop or 11 ft to us, 200m 8.5 metre drop or just over 27 feet!! Are we missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 And, unless my basic knowledge of physics is a mile off, a heavier pellet = slower = more drop. Also, that longer flight time gives any crosswind more of a chance to deflect. I calculate a 32 grn pellet out of a 30 ftlb gun as a muzzle velocity of only 650 fps. You can get exactly the same with a 11.5 ftlb gun and a 12 grain pellet, so I utterly fail to see the benefit in going for the high-powered version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonhunter Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 strange one !! I was already using AA s510 Xtra Fac .22 and thinking to buy an Hw100.But the airgun shop owner convinced me to not to buy Hw100 Fac in .22 coz the pellet drops quickly after 50m. So ı ended up with s500 Xtra Fac .22 Hope did well So what hes saying is the s500 in .22 dosnt drop off after 50m ?? sounds like he needs to get another day job as he is talking tosh , 250m with an air rifle also sounds strange the drop off would be imense you would have to fire it up in the air and hope for the best i would think .

bruno22rf Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 So to sum up-you have bought an S500 instead of a single shot tray for your existing S510 because it has less pellet drop than a HW100 when firing a 30 grain pellet over 275 yards? Is it just me or does anyone else smell a troll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
