Wife and son were gone this weekend, so Sunday I spent five solid hours at the range. All that shooting, and souvenirs too:
These are 10.5 grain Crosman Ultramags fired from my G1 at the bottom of a 20 lb. propane tank 100 yards away. This instrument only plays one note, but that tink! is sweet music.
I didn't chronograph it with these pellets, but if 8.2 grain Superdomes come out at 890 FPS, these are probably around 780, and maybe 350 at the target. You can see how they all struck at an angle, so they are definitely on the downhill slide when they get there. Still, they have enough left to go splat! |

| Slavia, that's still enough energy for birds, rabbits, and squirrels, with decent shot placement. If they hit hard enough to deform like that, they'll still get the job done. |

| Later in the summer when we have really calm evenings I'll try some groups at 100 yards. I don't believe I have the accuracy to take an ethical shot on a small animal at that range. And if the animal has a kill zone the size of a propane tank (which I can hit), the G1 won't have nearly enough juice. |

I am going to have to try that with a LP tank... I located a new spot about 30 mins from here up on "China Wall" with plenty o' room for 100+ yard shots... Even got the blessing of the Forest Rangers to shoot there...
I am allmost set up for HPA/PCP on Sniper Project... I Still need to Hydro and fill the 80 CU SCUBA Tanks... It takes about 2 weeks to get the tanks back...
I got some killer deals on 22 Cu 3000 psi pony tanks... and found the maker for the 3000/1800 psi Regs... Sweet deal worked out with them...
Shooting Crony just shipped my F1 Master replacement...
Yes... after the death on the operationg table of my standard F1... I upgraded to the remote display... |

According to ChairGun2.... Crosman 10.5 gr. leaving at 780 fps should arrive at 100 yards at about 490....

I was just estimating; the point being that it still has some snort even beyond its usable range. But now that I know, I'm going after cape buffalo.

Find some nice dry ground. Those little puffs of dust sure make elevation and windage easier to manage. |

| 100 yard shots from my back yard are marked by a tree that lets off a nice little bark puff when you hit... It's fun... PM to follow... |
