   Thanks Kruza, lets all get out there and post some groups before winter sets in.
Not much breeze so fun plinking session this evening and a sample of 5 shot groups at 13 yards.Lately working with my CO2 powered .22 Umarex 850 and JSB Match 13.73 grain wadcutters.
Centre 5 shot group was from the day before using bench-rest with a light breeze, the first three pellets touching the bull and passing through the same hole before I lost it. Chasing the 6mm or 1/4 inch group for a while now.

Outer groups: group 1 leaning against a tree, POA was the number 3.
Group 2 sitting and using elbows, group 3 bench & bipod and group 4 bench & bipod with rear bag.

	Using my HW95 .177 on a still day recently at 50yds: First 5 shots at 50yds (my chosen zero): A 16mm group (!), slightly high and slightly left - so I adjusted my Element Helix scope: Second 6 shots at 50yds: Another 16mm group (!) of 5 shots, spot on! ☺ I’m so amazed at this little HW95 rifle! These results mean this rifle is equivalent to the Weihrauch HW97 - the world’s best springer in my opinion. Gotta be happy with that eh?!!!

	I definitely would be. Nice shooting Myson. Same with Mercs great grouping. Love that idea of differnt shooting positions on one target. Don't really pratice them enough. Gonna a target master copy right now with 5 targets. Standing, kneeling, sitting, prone, rested. Cheers mercs.

	Thew up 4 targets. No reshoots. Just however it went. Arms lost a bit strength over last month. Hold under 1mildot (probly should have zeroed to 10m,as mildot totally covered bulls, but haven't worked out distances for dialing on turret yet.) The kneeling and sitting pulled, should really be bad judgement on trigger timing. Bench is a genuine pull. One thing is for sure, need to work on trigger pull. Bench is not off bags. Front hand on a box. Rest of gun floating. Standing is standing and killed my arm. Surprised I didn't shoot bigger group. Sitting is leaning back with hand on knee. Kneeling is elbow on knee. Definitely not my best shooting but not my worst either. Edited by kruzaroad - 20 Apr 2024 at 2:04pm

	Seems to me you're all shooting very damn straight and that's great - something to aspire to for me. First up testing pellets I guess... I'm tempted to stick with H&N purely because they seem to be available here - and Pete has sent me a sample pack. Is that a dumb idea starting with one brand of pellet?

	Yep. Go with one type of pellet first. I. E Diablo. Try that out in a few brands. Find what it likes. Get one pellet that groups well, then try differnt types.
