First outdoor shoot of the year, today.
Target was the cap on this 4 L windshield washer fluid jug at 50 yds. Here's a look from the firing line, with the camera set on 50 mm lens equivalent:
I was using a 24" bbl 22-89 from a rest under the fore-arm. Scope is the always reliable Banner 4-12X A/O at 6X.
They landed a bit low, and to the left- about 3" with no correction on the scope from a sight-in at 12 M with the 14.3 gr Daisy h.p.
Five of the 18.1 gr heavies went into just under 1/2" on centers- despite the wind.
To say I'm pleased with this performance would be a bit of an understatement. Now, to drive them fast enough for the terminal ballistics I know they're capable of ....
I'm a firm beleiver in arriving prepared:
Left to Right:
QB 78-D with Banner 3.5-10X A/O aboard.
22-89 with Banner 4-12X A.O
13-77 With Legend 4-12X 40 MM A/O
Marlin BB lever repeater by Crosman
Late phase 2/ Early phase 3 13-89 tube and grip frame in .177 Breech
and bbl are current production.
Early phase 2 13-22 Medalist with current steel breech modified to
take the original flow through bolt. 4 Reticle Bushnell Trophy red dot.
It wears the original Medalist .22 bl.
No where near all of them- just a sampling...
I did hit that jug cap with a bit of Kaintucky windage and elevation on the first try:
Here's what the road in looked like- +24 C, beautiful early spring day.
