russ91 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 has any one found that they are not getting kills with these pellets this morning i had 3 rabbits that were perfect head shots and the jumped into the air and then ran off like they had never been hit. my zero was perfect. one of the rabbits was about 5 yds hit it straight in the head i even got the red vapour but then it just ran off like it had not been shot this is the first time i have used these pellets and i don't think i will be using them for bunny bashing again.

pumpitup Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I dont think it would matter what pellet you used, if they were all head shots then they should've gone down. I'm at a loss to explain this at all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ91 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 yep so am i the rabbits stayed still long enough to see that they were perfect head shots the pellet was going exactly where i put it so I'm completely baffled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 It's unlikely to be the pellets, I used to use these and had no problems. I assume that you have checked your scope for Zero? I think that you get days like this, even with a rf, when they will run into a hedge and drop dead. No reason why. Slightly off subject, but I have heard, and I am sure many others have, 22rf's richochet off of a rabbits head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyjaimz Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I use bisley superfields and bisley magnums in my Daystate. The single shot tray doesnt like superfields, neither does the magazine (you have to occasionally index it yourself) but they dont have smash rabbits skulls to bits! I was out on thursday night and took 9 bunnies using superfields - one large buck was a good 35-40 yards away and they energy transfer of the pellet knocked his eye of the socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 i have tried a few of the Bisley range, and they seem to fit better than most in mine. i didnt realise there was such a variation in the extenet of seal around the skirt. tried some of the cheaper brands with the double skirt, and they dont even sit flush with the seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve'o Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Just got a tin of WEBLEY MOSQUITO EXPRESS .22 14.3gr to put though my AA TX200HC have only chrono them so far and getting a very constant 600fps 11.4ftlbs. See how they group tomorrow weather permmiting. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyjaimz Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 As I was going to give them a go in my Daystate MK3 .177 Cheers Steve I use them in my Air Ranger .177 mate and they group very well indeed. Only trouble is the magazine and single shot tray dont like them. Occasionally you have to take the mag out after you've pulled the bolt back and index the mag yourself.

Bradders Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I use superfields in my Hornet, always a good clean kill and very good groups.....I could not get Bisley Magnums to group at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy001 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi Did you hear a 'crack' like the pellet had entered its noggin?? If so, sounds like you've pierced the bunny's ears. That explain why they jumped so high in the air. There are others factors you could take it account. Weather-was it colder/hotter than when you practiced? I've heard pcp vary with power output?

russ91 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 the pellet dint make a crack but it did make a slap the rabbit was face on well one of them was and it jumped then when it landed it was laid for about 1 second then made off but them it laid i could see that there was a spot of blood between its eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
