Thats a very respectable group for 55m, almost a one hole group. Well done.

Nah it will go tighter than that.
I'm going to back the trigger off a tad. I rezeroed it to 32m. The gun is capable of tighter groups. I had 4 tighter than that then I pulled one, and a three tighter than that till stuffed a shot up. That was the most as I good as I got, group wise,but it's proven it will pull tighter. |

My experience with the 97 is that it was challenging to achieve very tight groups when full power. However when I reduced the power to about 12ftlbs there was a significant tightening of groups at all distances.

Golly mate, been meaning to catch up on your new toy. 55m unsorted pellets... Heck that's a fantastic group!

Hell I don't think so, but thanks.
It will tighten. Thats what I'd accept at 70 to 80m. |

Once you've shot about 500+ pellets, your HW97 will suddenly "settle in".
Mine's shot about 3,000+ AA Diabolo Field 8.4gr 4.52 pellets and she's humming at around 16fpe. Yesterday, at 70yds, using the Artillery Hold on beanbags, I put 8 shots in a 19mm group, then knocked 4 golf balls off their perch in a row, at the same distance. The HW97 is superb! Give her time.... ![]() She's a rare and beautiful wine!

That's very positive.
Cheers. Work season finishes Monday. Ban from shooting on arm finishes at same time. So might start on ranging for drop. That will get me closer to the 500 mark. Seems a solid number 👍 |

So the with 15.90 grain
Cometa/exact jumbo the average fpe came out at 657 fps (only about 3 or 4 shots. Dropped one shot as it was unusually lower than others) That gives an fpe of 15.24 Didn't really do much shooting with it. Bb was impressed with weight distribution. Run facts through chair gun at some stage and get a flight curve for it and throw it up here, then do real life testing to verify it. |

After a bit of break in period I'm really happy with the gun.
It accurate, comfortable, heavy but a strap delt to that. Only issue has been with bluing. Cocking leaver. Doesn't worry me enough to want to not have it for as long as will take to get redone. Enjoying it totally. ![]() Edited by kruzaroad - 11 Jul 2024 at 7:31am |
