Thought I’d kick this forum off with a general air pellet group topic.
As some of you may have read elsewhere on AusVarmint, I am the very proud owner of a Weihrauch HW97K in 4.5mm (aka .177). Over a couple of months, tests revealed it has an unambiguous preference for Beeman Field Target Special round pellets (4.51mm). The chronographed velocity is a whisker over 900ft/s!!!
HW97K
FTS 5-shots at 10m
FTS 10-shots at 25m
FTS 10-shots at 50m

Hi Drew,
Always thought the 97 is a good A/R.Nice groups!
Cheers Ray.
Thought I'd post a target my daughter and I shot this afternoon. She is 14 and was shooting her BSA Supersport (.22) using FTS, Erin shot the centre and bottom left, mine were the other 2. I was using the R9 (.20) with JSB Exacts. Shot these target at 25metres. Standard SSAA 50m (10mm bull) rimfire target. We shoot 5 into one target and then a single into another. The top left is usually our sighter http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x223 ... target.jpg
