165m not a go for me.
I've ended up min zoom being 6x, holding above the target. Nearly 3 mildot above the bottom of retical glass. I've shot groups (for lack of a better word) nothing that would hint at consistent placement. Nothing grouping within 6inches of each other mostly around 12inch plus.
Closest shot was about 3inchs high and center but that was the exception not the rule.
Fully rested, no wind to very light breeze.
Pellets not sorted so will sort them and may try again another day.
Never found as many cardboard hits as I heard! Though most punched through some only marked cardboard and there were times I'd count the hits and couldn't find them at all. All shots marked before next group.
So somewhere between last distance 157m and 165m I'm guessing the pellets start to slow enough to start misbehaving. My shooting could have been crap today but it felt good. Still bit of fun. For now I'm sitting at 156.9m and happy about getting that far.😊
Timed the pellet after I decided to stop.
Gun stock on bag, hit stopwatch as pulled trigger. Stopped as soon as heard impact.
Subtrack what you will for reaction time but it is still a long time in air.
14.66gr pellet
159fps
165m

Chair gun recons at target 475fps/3.5fpe approximately.

Sounds like a goer.
That extra 100 fps, over what mine has, will hopefully give the .22 that extra range to push out past what mine will do. Im hoping I can make 170m before power drops too much. Anything over that I'm going from totally stoked to over the moon.
Be interesting to see how much more penitration you get, out where mine is starting lose it.

The pellets move around a lot. FPS in the 177 are 860FPS.. Might switch to .22 as they are more stable and my gas rammed crosman with my piston and trigger mods is spitting out the 14gr pellets @ 760fps so i might get some good long range shots in.

Nice, that's one 110m Nunga.
Picking up wind in mic.
How are those 177 pellets in wind over distance. I imagine the move a bit.
Whats your fps?
Good to see the distance heading up.

All in the first attempt blurb page one.
I am running an advantage of about a ten foot drop over the distance between me and the gate at 160m.
Sorry fps wasnt there
659fps.

Nah. Just select all, and copy more often.
I'm pleased as it shows the gun and pellet work together.
I'm stoked with the ffp scope, being able to zoom in to the bottom of the retical is awsome.
Supprisingly accurate and isn't shimmed.
Its exceeded maximum hunting distance before the zoom out gets to low.
You had a chance to give it a shot yet pauly?

What rifle are you using and how many feet per sec are the pellets leaving the barrel? you are using .22 right?

That's very good.

You could try typing out your blurb in google docs, then just copy and paste into forum. That way you can type when you want, even pause and add to it later, then paste into forum when you're ready.

Think my biggest worry now is how quick after this do I lose penitration power?
I'm not finding the distance much of an issue rested, to tell the truth. However if I stop penitration or denting cans it will rule me out. See how it goes will measure out how far to gate shortly. That will be next range.

Hmm gate is 160/161m.
Thought it might have been more. Might see if can find about 165m,but won't be more than that, as Ive got penitration and imagine the drop is going to starting worse.
Thats me for today.

Same shooting position as before.
Windage 1.5 mildots to right of target. Scope to just a hair under 8x zoom. Aim point bottom of glass of retical.
14 ranging shots. (1 no hit at R3)
The large crosses and line above are mid group marked for the drop so I could adjust zoom to right level. Indervidual shots marked. r(ranging) and 1,2 or 3 (group order)
After adjusting zoom off top line. Went strait to can. 2 shots to hit can.

The pellet although it made it through can did not penitrate cardboard at back of can.

156.9m to beat and I'm still a hundy bucks up. 😁

For fuk sake lost it all as loading last pic.
Need a auto save function.
Will rename pics so can reupload them (have no idea how to link back to them) and rewrite blurb though be much shorter and less detailed cause now I'm just pissed off.
