Hi all
Been lurking for a while decided to help the cause with my membership.
So what brings me here is my general love of shooting.
Anything with a trigger calms my soul.
I've been recently shooting my 2 in lines with mixed results.
The 1st is a nef handi rifle.
Current load is 2 50/50 777 pellets 290 hornady bore driver with a win 209.
Running precision rifle 209 plug.
Shoots good enough to hunt at modest ranges.
Stacks them up at 100 1 to 1.5 inch if I do my part.
The second is the encore..........
It does good to hit the paper at 100
Current load 340 hornady bore driver 2 777 50/50 pellets cci 200 primmer
In PRB variflame plug
Also put the locking pin in along with clearancing the ears on the forend.
Shots vertically stringing so I'm sure I have a velocity spread issue.
Using the same box of pellets on both guns one shoots the other I might as well get a sling shot.....
Both guns I'm pulling the plugs and spraying down with soappy gun cleaner
And cleaning to bright bores. Between shots.
Loading is much easier.
My question is maybe the 340 is to long but I'm not seeing any destabilizing results on target just vertical stringing of 6 inches or so.
Probably need to stap the magnetospeed on and see if the velocity is way out of the norm.
Probably going to ask alot more questions as I'm building a savage smokeless in 45 bullet to bore.
Your thoughts folks
Nef on plate
Encore on paper.
I promise it's not the shooter on this one....
