Had this half full bottle of yellowtail merlot and I figured it be fun to shoot with my 2240. I was using flat tip crosman .22 cal pellets and at 25 feet it wouldn't bust! So I got to 10 feet and still no luck.... I know this gun has to be powerful enough to break this bottle! _________________ so far a stock 2240 and a 2300kt with a 14.6" barrel, walnut grips, with mods from www.mountainaircustomairguns.com - power adjuster, modified valve, and an extended bolt probe. optical- leapers 30mm tactical dot sight   Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 5:32 pm Roy Veteran Member Joined: 01 May 2008 Posts: 101 Location: Wisconsin What is the cost of that stuff-- about $10 USD per bottle ? No great loss. There are more palatable paint-thinners. I hope you were not drinking and shooting-that might not be safe.

Try something like the Gamo Rocket pellet...the one with the BB in the tip. _________________ .177/.22 Cal Benjamin Discovery .22 Cal Crosman 2300KT Custom Modified   Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 8:57 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 4942 Location: "Out There" You're trying to shoot a cylinder (the bottle) which is basically one of the most structurally difficult things to break, especially if the shot isn't dead on flat- difficult with such a shape. You're also using a lead pellet which will deform fairly easily. If the bottle is full, you've provided some nice shock absorption to the mix. Try emptying the bottle (?) _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Lol I didn't buy it... Was left at our house by wifes cousin. We don't drink and she wanted it out of the house. So I thought what better way to dispose of it. Well it's back in the fridge now lol. I'll try some of them bb tipped pellets when I get some. I did notice the bottle flattened the pellets like they were spitwads. If you would like me to send you the contents of the bottle please send me a self addressed stamped ziploc bag. _________________ so far a stock 2240 and a 2300kt with a 14.6" barrel, walnut grips, with mods from www.mountainaircustomairguns.com - power adjuster, modified valve, and an extended bolt probe. optical- leapers 30mm tactical dot sight   Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 11:50 pm Mark5043 Senior Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 830 ausher wrote: Lol If you would like me to send you the contents of the bottle please send me a self addressed stamped ziploc bag. _________________ .177/.22 Cal Benjamin Discovery .22 Cal Crosman 2300KT Custom Modified   Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 12:11 am ellodrith Member Joined: 16 Jan 2010 Posts: 50 Location: Duncan, BC ausher wrote: Lol I didn't buy it...
