Hi Pete,

I live just outside of Feilding if you fancy a shoot?  I love those 56th's and other Diana side-levers... great rifles!

Drop me a Private Message (PM) with your phone number and we'll arrange a get together if you're keen.

Cheers....

Nice Pete.

My experience swapping between H&N and any other softer leaded pellet is that the harder H&N lead can effect what is used after it.
I read an article where it was proven that the barrel needed cleaning after H&N if you were swapping pellets. So Maybe if, as your list says, you used JSB after them, the JSB could be better but were effected by the harder lead.

Just a thought, but I had noticed a few years ago the definite change in the H&N pellets when they got harder.

Finally managed to get some pellets through Lady Di and over a chrono in between showers of rain the last few days...

Tested 5 pellets:

H&N FTT 14.66gr - ave 808.6fps, ES 15.4, SD 4.9, for 21.3FPE.

JSB Exact 15.89gr - ave 758.3, ES 22.4, SD 9.3, for 20.3FPE.

JSB Hades 15.89gr - ave 775fps, ES 7.1, SD 3.0, for 21.2 FPE.

H&N Hunter (Guncity rabbiter) 18.2gr - ave 686.5fps, ES 12.8, SD 4.1, for 19FPE.

H&N Baracuda 21.14gr, ave 600fps, ES 11.5, SD 4.7, for 16.9FPE

I was quite surprised that my favourite go to pellet, the JSB Exact, was actually the worst performer!!!
The best seems to be the JSB Hades. But these are just chrono figures, the proof of the pudding will be some holes in paper at 30yards...

What I have noticed is she is sounding a little twangy, but I defiantly don't know enough or have the experiance to open her up and start playing around with things, so I'll just have to live with her like this for now till someone with more knowledge and experiance then me can help me out.

More to follow.]]> Tue, 23 Jul 2024 15:21:42 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=986&PID=10001#10001 Diana 56TH. Scoped. : Myson- I bought it second hand,... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=986&PID=9558#9558 Author: RangerPete

Myson- I bought it second hand, so I unfortunately don’t know her full history.
I’ve put about 100 pellets through her so far.

Billbob— Russian mistress 😂😂😂 During the many years I was a trails guide in Big 5 country, my wife used to call my .458Lott my “other wife” because she was with me 24/7 for days/weeks on end while out on trail 😂

Mercs - correct, a gamo “recoil reducing rail”…hummm 🤔. I needed a few more mm height, so it was selected for the honor of residing on Lady Di 😂
I’ve got a few tins of Exact in my pellet collection.

From a new setup thats very nice 30 metre group.
Nice looking rifle.
I note what might  be a gamo rail used as a riser, knew they had to be good for something.
Beautiful day with a bit of time working up a new air rifle, has to be good for the soul.
Are the Exact 15.89's available again or already on hand?
