More Surprises From The Super 10
Jonjon79 replied to Jonjon79's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
I kind of ruled those out because of their weight. I'm a .177 man really so, when I use .22, I need all the help I can get - hence the lighter pellets and/or shorter ranges -

I once went home with a bird that could have done with washing and weighing ..... Never bother with pellets though. Life's to short. -

It's supposed to be snowing here again tomorrow Trouble is, none of it settling - it's just little whispy bits in the air all the time - the sort that keeps hitting you in the eyeballs - I keep walking round like a twitching div ...... I'll do some tests in the warehouse before work tomorrow. It's a pisser that those hornets won't work for you - I imagine they'd bring down an actual armour plated pigeon Have you tried Polymags? -

Nice This one's the same - it had a sevice at BSA just before I bought it and, they confirmed it's totally factory standard. I did think about letting John Bowkett have a look at it but, I don't want to feel any different to how it feels right now. If it aint broke My thoughts exactly -

That's the ones I was surprised by the marks inside the skirt and on the back of the head - they look like they've been flared after moulding. -

Cheers Si I think I'll only send it off now if it needs work. I'll update this thread again when I've done a bit more testing with it - Hopefully tomorrow I know what you mean about head sizes - I'm not one for weighing and sorting but, I can feel a real difference in some when loading one of the springers It's a shame you're having problems with softer lead on the birds - this was a .22 FAP from my TX ...... they work well on squirrels heads as well -

More Surprises From The Super 10

The FTT Greens have been a real surprise - I'm usually a staunch advocate of the soft lead diablo but, today, these were getting to the target so fast and hitting hard, I reckon they might make a good ratting pellet I want to put the FTTs and the FTT Greens over a chrono and, test them at longer ranges but, so far so good. To be honest, I'm not holding out much hope for the FTT Green past 40 yards - I reckon it's power retention will be shit. This is one that I dug out of the stack of brochures today ...... -

This morning, before work, I gave the H&Ns another go at 30 yards this time. I rezeroed for the FTTs. I taped a pistol target to a stack of brochures and put through another 10 shot group of each. The FTTs began to creep up and right but, I reckon after a barrel clean and leading back in, these could well be the ones They deformed well after hitting the plate behind the target at Black Cat. I don't imagine anything getting away from a hit from these -

I set some targets out at 35 yards and tried the JSB variants first - nothing too scientific, a mag of each without rezeroing. I was looking at how the pellets cycled and what the groupings were like. I tried - JSB RS JSB Exact FX FAP They all felt slightly stiff but, for some reason, the the JSB RS and FAPs were now f***ing awful - some of them gave a lot of resistance when cycled, then popped into the back of the barrel. When I fired those pellets, I could see them spiral wildly into the target - some missing the 8" paper target altogether Next up was a selection of ze German -
I've had this Mk2 Super 10 for a little while now and, it's proving to be exactly what I was after ..... It's compact, not too light, not too slick but not agricultural either, accurate, good shot count, looks good, gives a satisfying hit being .22 and, because of the short barrel, feels like it really spits the pellets out. It's good, honest retro shooting that puts a smile on my face. When I bought it, I was advised that the previous owner had always ran it with JSBs so, I did a few pellet tests and settled on JSB RS - at 13.43gn they were a nice fast .22 pellet and they were accur

It would seem that's the plan. Staying over in Kenilworth. Sake. Wow I just Googled out-calls in Kenilworth - they average £99 Have fun mate -
Nice introduction and first post ! Fair comment Rob Now, lets see, what could I suggest? I reckon if he could wedge a 17 hmr round half way down the barrel of a .177 SMK B2 (might need a bit of filing), then fire a JSB Heavy up the spout behind it - it might qualify as a powerful spring piston rifle ....... C'mon chaps, give the lad some ideas
