Playing a little hooky with my HW97k - pellet observations as well

[cslinger]

I am having a reasonably slow morning today so I played a little hooky with my HW97k.

Traditionally for my rifles I am an H&N guy, usually Field Target Trophy and I still find them to be excellent pellets through the vast majority of my air rifles in .177 or .22. That said I have recently been shooting more JSB in both calibers and I must say I am very impressed. I am finding it to be very repeatable and uniform. (At least as far as my meager skills and hobbiest approach goes)

I shot few 10 shot groups today with some Air Arms Diabolo, which AFAIK, is rebranded JSB and they all nestled into the same spot, with roughly the same group. The upper right group was a bit ragged and crappy but that has everything to do with the trigger...........more succinctly the idiot pulling it.

It sure beats work, and as always take care and shoot safe.

As with most of my shooting, this is rested at roughly 18-19 yards. This particular rifle has a NIKON scope.

Aaaaah. Back to Germany I see.

I have had better success with H&N than JSB in my Diana 34 and my HW30. However my recently acquired Diana 280 seems to be a JSB rifle, specifically the 7.87 Exacts.

But I have an unopened tin of H&N .177 FTT's and another tin that is more than half full. For some reason they won't shoot well in any of my rifles. They must be Wednesday pellets and I don't shoot on Wednesdays. If you are interested PM me an address to ship them to. They are of no use to me.

I would t want to take your pellets. What do you have that shoots well for you? Maybe I have something I can send your way in trade.

I really wasn't asking for anything. Just thought I'd give a few rebel pellets (for me anyway) a home. You seem to like them. My new 280 seems to be happy with JSB Exact Diablo 7.87's but if you don't have them or can't spare then no big deal.
