Washing/weighing pellets (it works).

Thanks Grey Kiwi - some great shooting there!

But unless I misunderstand, I was actually interested in targets showing the difference between out of the tin and treated pellets and also between the premium pellets and similar from JSB and H&N.

I could be interested in getting rid of flyers at modest cost of better pellets and maybe treating some too.

Am I right in thinking the .22LR is as easy - or difficult - to shoot straight as decent PCP air rifles so target shooters are considering PCP when they would not consider quality spring powered air rifles?   

To be honest, I doubt I have the time to spend making the effort to learn/train myself to shoot my springers better and this is my main reason for going to PCP - but bolt action, large capacity magazines and not getting my heart rate up changing my posture and cocking high power springers for each shot are also good reasons to prefer PCP...

Thanks! That's really interesting - I'm not surprised a .22 bullet even subsonic could disturb the air enough to slightly deflect a wee .177 pellet.  I recently watched a video where some projectile made a quite aide visible air disturbance and I was very surprised just how wide the air was disturbed.

Maybe no baked beans for breakfast when going to the shooting range would stop a few flyers as well?? :-)

You serious target shooters are seriously accurate. And yes, my first high power HW80 springer was putting slugs all over the target until I learnt the artillery hold or similar "non-hold" and suddenly I had the most accurate air rifle I have ever had.
And yes, moving to a position to do it and cocking the high power springers gives me a clear heart rate increase and it's very obvious through the scope.

However while I'll keep the HW, I've gone PCP mainly as I am not good enough to hunt with a springer - and don't think I have the time to get good... a bit of a cop out for sure. :-)
