Here's the results of my basic pellet sorting of about half a tin of Gamo Pro Magnums.

To sort them I cut the end off of a Bic pen and dropped the pellets in head first one at a time (got this method from someone on another  forum I think).

There's a series of rings going down the pen, and clear space above them. I used the position of the skirt for the bottom sheet. Eg, if the skirt was in line with the first ring when it stopped, then it's at the top of the bottom page, '1' if the pellet stopped with the skirt touching ring seven, it's at the bottom of the bottom page, '7'.

If the skirt was above the first ring when it stopped I used the head position. So if the skirt was above the first ring and the head/tip of the pellet was in line with ring six, it is at the bottom of the top page,'6' the one whose head/tip was in line with line one is at the top of the top page, '1'.

These are in half ring increments, eg 1... 1.5... 2... 2.5 etc

Yea mate that would be cool, Im curious to know who your father in law is now :) I lived on bombay for a number of years my self (Barber road, up by the sub station). Small world.

Next time you plan a trip this way give me a shout you are welcome to come to my place i have lots of open space. I can set up targets up to 300 meters for us. Might even be a rabbit of five to shoot :)

But not this weekend as we are off shortly to coromandel for a dive/fish

we shoot sitting (as above) kneeling and standing, the only thing I change is the focus for each shot to get the range estimation.
If you love the scope in that pic, you'd love it more now, on riser block and with 3"sunshade on :)
you'd like the other ones I have as well :)
BUT
for hunting / snap shots at bunnies.... to fiddly, too hi mag.
If im up that way (my father in law lives on bombay) youre welcome to have a play with it ( and others) and swap some tips if you want

That looks like a good way to shoot. Very stable. But they way i shoot  the targets is the way i hunt. So if i can get ok groups on paper I should be able to get good clean kills in the field. Also keep in mind the paper i am using is A5 Paper that the target is printed on and those squares are 10mm x 10mm. I should of put a 10c coin next to the groups to give some kind of aspect ratio. maybe next time :)

If i try your way of shooting do you think i would need to adjust the sites to suit each time when switch between styles? would it make any difference at all?

P.S love your scope :)

try it from a seated position like this, lets the rifle move as it needs to, and if its groups you're after it'll help them out a bit due to stability

I have put a tin of H&N Silver point 11.57gr, H&N Rabbit Magnum II 15.74gr and a tin of bigboy heavy weight 13.00gr through the gun but all of them did not like my gun.

I will setup a target with the above pellets over the weekend and show you the crap results :)

in that case those aren't too bad then. , that and the fact you're using a rifle that is a bit of a monster.
Given the power of the thing, have you run any heavy pellets through it to see what happens?

what position were you shooting from? I would have thought the bara's would have performed better, maybe some jsb heavy's might?]]> Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:49:04 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=22&PID=70#70
