Hope everyone's out shooting.



Been this route before, 7 or 8 years ago, in .177. They were not very accurate, then. I'm sort of hoping .22 will be an improvement. They are also available in .25 cal



Anyone else notice the ribbed skirt w/c in there? Looks like Gamo is up to their usual q/c...

I'm not at the shop today, so testing will have to wait. I set up in the dining room, and fired two of them from about 14 ft- all the distance I could get.

First was out of my el-cheapo Roebel chinese springer into the bottom of a kilo coffee can:



This rifle was clocking 460 fps, IIRC, with a 14.3 gr w/c. No idea what it's doing with the .22 rocket- no weight listed on the tin, or packaging. Second shot was similar, except it was from a 18" bbl 22-89 at the same distance, at ten pumps. It penetrated a lot further than the springer- through the tin bottom, and through the plastic lid.



Test for group will likely be in the next couple of days...
