peek-at Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 HI FOLKS JUST WANTING TO PICK YOUR BRAINS....... HAVE BEEN HAVING GREAT FUN WITH MY AA410 XTRA FAC (30ish FT/LBS) USING BISLEY MAGNUM (21g) ITS DEAD ACCURATE AT AROUND 50 METRES BUT I HAVE TAKEN RABBITS AT FURTHER DISTANCES WHEN I MAKE ALLOWANCES FOR THE PELLET DROP. OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE DONE A BIT OF TARGET PRACTICE AND NOTICED AT 75 METRES MY PELLET DROP IS 3 MILLDOTS ON MY SCOPE (ZEROED AT 50M) AND I CAN EVEN SEE THE PELLET IN FLIGHT ! THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A LOT TO ME ALTHOUGH I KNOW ITS A HEAVIER PELLET. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? IS THE EXTRA 25M WITH THE BISLEY MAGNUM ENOUGH TO DROP 3 MILLDOTS OR SHOULD I CHRONO MY RIFLE? ALSO IS ANYONE USING A LIGHTER PELLET TO GOOD EFFECT? I WONDERED ABOUT USING THE H&N FTT AT 15.1g THINKING THAT AS ITS LIGHTER IT WOULDNT DROP AS MUCH, BUT IS IT LIKELY TO BE TOO LIGHT FOR MY RIFLE? ALL PEARLS OF WISDOM GREATFULLY RECEIVED. CHEERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libs Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Lighter ones will be knocked about by the wind a bit more. But then you don't have to worry about drop so much, 6 of one I think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Stalker Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I use barracuda match in the same rifle to good effect. I'd be interested to see what others use. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubshot Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 We used a FAC AA410 when bringing out the 20.50 Exterminator And aware that many get good results by the numbers Sold The 16.00 Grain should Also give good Results Design means that it should not be damaged by power We brought out the Defiant 18.00 Grains As Shooters ask for a Midweight Power Pellet BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
