One of those rare days when it almost all clicked.

Dugald gun-show was a blast.

First off, thanks to Lorne and son of Airheads out of the Lakehead. Pleasure as always dealing with you guys. Great visit for me, and money well spent. I'm hoping they didn't notice me drooling on the Theoben

17 C, so naturally went for an out doors shoot. Wind was a major factor- very gusty.



There's a look at the "range" from the 25 yd mark. I didn't try further, on account of the wind.





Entry and exit holes of a 18.1 gr jsb at 25 yds, 780 fps, in a weatherd 1" pine slab.



Not even an old Dodge hub-cap could with stand that pellet at 25 yds...



There's the beast there, with old and new JSB Heavy packaging.





Close up comparison. They appear to be the same die pellet. The lead is a different "shade"- the difference in production is about a year.



These are a major weakness for me. I've always had a soft-spot for the old El-Paso steel tube rimfire scopes. This one is a "Marksman" 4X rimfire, with clean glass, and intact reticle.

Only fly in this ointment is I'm financially embarassed now...

Spring! ah well. At least it ain't booze, or drugs, or wildly cavorting women (I've had my share of those, thank you very much!)...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
