Re: "Extreme" bench rest shoot at 75 yards in USA last weeke

Thanks for the info Harry. I'll be winding Ben up when I see him next, though I expect Mr Huggett has been doing it already across the factory floor. :lol: Pity its so damn far away from us. Looking forward to the movie from Ted.

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news . From several uk forums, sadly it seems Theoben uk have gone to the wall. :(

Re: FX Elite smooth twist barrel videos with different pelle

Hi Harry you've obviously sorted the settings well. I can't recall anything on my local forum. Perhaps I will be the first. :D . A few of the lads on other GB forums are doing stuff with cameras and most are on you tube somewhere. :) Ted's Holdover channel with the Hw100 was enlightening. Regards neil

Re: FX Elite smooth twist barrel videos with different pelle

Hi Harry nice videos, what camera and speed are you running those videos at 240 or 1000fps. I'm experimenting with a casio exlim fh100 and seben myself.

Re: TWIST RATES FOR AIR RIFLE CALIBRES

Hi afaik they are 1in 16 same as .22lr. I'm led to believe this was a carry over from when peoples like bsa were making .22lr. Some recent experimentation here in the uk has given results that indicate it might not be quite the optimium at 12ftlb.

Re: .25 calibre

The .25 does not have much of a following @12ftlb over hear except for ratting gun. However step up to around 40ftlb with a pcp and you have something which is gaining popularity over in the uk. There are several rapid users running this setup on the uk bbs, and none of them have a bad word to say, ...

Re: Videos of pellets in flight ... first effort.

Nice work Harry, I've managed to bond a video cam onto the rear of a scope with the help of ebay. :D Not got around to testing yet though. :oops: Anyways, another interesting video link below I came across a while back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHltqsdySYU Regards Neil

Re: Crusader.

There are some new 14gn ish jsb's about. Over here they go under several rebadged names though I believe they are called exact express from the parent company. Not tried them, but they are a good weight for 20ftlb.

Re: Crusader.

Hi I would also try crosman premiers@14.3gn and HNftt at 14.5gn if you can get them. These will make the most of flatterning the trajectory at the 20ftflb region the Crusader runs at and will feel a lot smoother to shoot.

Re: 300 yard and 225 yard groups … Long with pics.

Nice post Harry. The jsb .25 pellets have certainly revived that calibre over here.
Do you find the single dry pull through method is sufficient to negate the use of a wet clean if used often enough.

Re: 200 yard Ballistic Coefficient test data. Changes with range

Excellent write up Harry. Good idea about a plate in front of the chrony, they are a tad delicate to in coming, but I can vouch for the good spares service from Chrony Canada. :)

Re: 17 mac 2

The hm2 is gaining in popularity with rabbit shooters in the UK as hm2 ammo is half the price of hmr stuff over here.
