    I haven't had the time to watch through the clip yet . I did have a quick look through and the velocities look very consistent.  As said nothing is set totally in stone but some of the lightweight bullets that are designed to set up in small critters such as Groundhogs will disintegrate when driven at high speed (over 4000 fps) when fired through fast twist barrels  such as 1:8 from something like a 220 swift. Every barrel / gun combination is different. I have spent a lot of time and money developing loads and my barrel just doesn't perform with light bullets and fast powders. The load that I have developed uses a slow burning powder driving a fairly heavy bullet. 55gn  BTHP Sierra game king. This punches them out at 3450fps which is only 250 fps behind a 22.250 with a 55. This hits like a brick and nothing walks away even from a peripheral impact. I have known some light bullets go straight through a charlie and them run off even from a direct hit. There was one that was shot some weeks after a previous shot and you could see the healed wounds where a bullet had gone in one side and out the other. This is where ground experience shows what works for the individual. This is why i love reloading but it isnt for everyone. 

    I noticed this guy is doing well with a 1:8 shooting 55g at 500-600m. Rabbits and fox.223.

    I think 1:9 is the best as sometimes a 1:9 cz will shoot 40g well and even 75g from my experience. 

    I think the 53 vmax likes a 1:10 barrel best and the 53's are excellent all round bullets. So a 1:9 should handle the 53 vamx well. 

    but its not set in stone. and people get lucky and unlucky.

    i think where your coming from is if you want to shoot 40g all day long its best to get a 1:12 1:14.

    but if you want something versatile that has a best chance of handling say 50 - 69g 1:9 is best. 

    maybe 1:8 handles 53 - 75 best.

    you pays your money and takes your chances

    Yeah, it's a b*****d of a thing to try to overcome. I'm a wood machinist, well, was, so used all types of saw you'd find in a woodmill. But always used ear defenders/protectors, so never had any problems. Then fell and suffered a very bad head injury 19 years ago, and that's where my tinnitus came from. Had all sorts of therapy etc for it, nothing works. Have just had to learn to live with it. Hope you can find some relief for it ?

    cheers shaaark

    having health and doing what I wanna do is more important than lots of money too me.

    i read even the recoil from years of shotgun shooting can set it off, so if you had a head impact it might be a noise OR vibration problem

    this guy i know says he can tune it out cause he had 2 loud sisters ?

    I have it CONSTANTLY in my right ear, and sometimes, say every 3 or 4 days, it shifts to the left ear as well, but only for a few minutes. Anyway, I digress lol. 

    The HW110 is quiet as f**k, and if my fcuking shoulder heals up in the next few weeks, I'll be looking at getting another, or the 110k ?

    i think mines from power tools and powder burning. also due to gunk in the middle ear doc says. hopefully i'll be able to use my fac air again. otherwise might look at one of those brocock compatto sub 12fpes if the hammer does not make too much noise. 

    the slightest noise or vibration sets it off in both ears at the moment and makes the ringing louder.  oh well lifes a bitch.

    I have tinnitus in my right ear. I'm right handed and shoot right handed. The 110 is practically silent to me lol. But when I bought it and started shooting it, even my son said 'f**k me, that's quiet'! Lol

    just about anything sets it off at the moment. i brought some crazy larger ear defends the other week that make me look well crazy?

    i have in both ears but still hear the mrs and kids when they want something?

    i'll just have to get down the workshop and make one ? or use a catapult ?

    German over British engineering think the Germans have the advantage there to be honest and to be fair you'll be paying an English company for bringing them in to the country ?

    English will only be getting a small percentage as wholesalers work on tight margins

    This is why china has go so rich in recent years and the UK has been getting poorer and poorer.

    We are buying way to much made overseas

    At least assembly of some products are in the UK which means local people get paid to assemble even if parts come from all over and the company is foreign owned.

    I know i`ve mentioned the HW 100`s but when you think about it, no matter the air gun because the large CRACK ! when a pellet strikes the brain box and the surrounding vermin scatters kind of cancels things out ?

     

                             Just a thought :rolleyes: :hmm:

     

                                             atb  Mark.

    Either I have a nasty ear infection this last month or I have tinnitus hence wanting a quiet action. Not too bothered about the down range noise.

    @ tench, he just got back to me and said, the 110k is just as quiet, possibly a little quieter than the standard 110. 

    Hope that's of some use ?

    cheers mate. i've been thinking about getting a hw110k. Its first on the list.

    the only snag is my English money will be going to a German company.

    would prefer to send my pounds to a UK company as our economy needs all the help it can get!

    I would like to find out which sub 12fpe air rifles have the quietest actions.

    I already have a good moderator so not to worried about the noise from the end of the barrel. its more the action noise I want to minimise. 

    Can anyone recommend pcp rifles with the quietest actions please?
