Nice shooting Phil.

The best pellet I`ve used was the Hobby 11.9 g flat heads, in .22 cal` for rat work. After 30 yards though the accuracy starts to slip but under 30 yards they are deadly. Nice flat trajectory, hit very hard with the flat heads and nicely accurate to the 30 yard mark. Each to their own opinion but RWS Hobby for me.

Hi Sniper, The closest I`ve ever got to lubing is a light spraying of the empty loading side of a HW 100 magazine at arms length every 5th or 6th re load- tightens those groups up really well. I`ve decided not to fix something that is`nt broke and stay with the AA Fields 4.52, 8.4g in the KT and also stay with the JSB Exact Express in all of my .177 rifles. As said, if you hit the spot, light V heavy does not even come into it -
Have not put my cross hairs on a rabbit for a while now as I,m trying to help build their population a little on my permissions.

All my HW rifles love the Express including my HW100KT. The ft/lbs are all 11- 11.5. Yep it was Mitch ( Villaman ) that put me onto these and I`ve never looked back to be honest. They hit hard and laser accurate, all heart/ lung. Good luck with the HW99 Phil, nice to see you shooting with a proper gun buddy. -

I`ve still to try out the JSB Heavies with everywhere shut down until now. Got to admit though, it would take a team of horses to pull me away from the JSB Exact Express now. Phil, promise me you'll try the Express, 4.52, 7.87g through your HW 99 before you decide, I can send some over to you if needed buddy ? Here's my HW 97 on the range with them. All my .177 rifles, bar the HW 100 KT, are hunting with the Express. Check the 12 shot group against the 97`s stock screw, deadly accurate. -
Yes Phil, that's the brand.

Hi Gaoler, I can only speak of my own 100`s and both have just the one o ring on their mags. I have never used any oils with silicon in it as many years ago a gunsmith told me not to because it clogs up in the gun ? I`ve used the Brunox, silicon free, turbo spray for years. No silicon. no PTFE, no graphite contact spray. A tip for you buddy, spray the loading side of your HW 100 mag` every 5th/ 6th reload and your accuracy improves considerably, hold the mag` at arms length and give it the lightest of sprays each time.

Let it react Jimmy, that stock is a beauty mate, do your magic as I`m sure you will atb. Mark. -
A question to all you springer boys.
mark williams replied to philpot's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Very good question Phil. When I`m in a hide decoying I always stay pellet chambered gun not cocked as you normally see your quarry flighting in. Rabbits, squirrels, corvids from a hide, cocked and ready to fire. On the quieter evenings I much prefer the spring rifles without a bear trap so I can uncock the rifle as I too feel better after a long wait, I`m fully aware that you can sit there loaded and ready for ages at a time with no ill effect on the spring. So Phil, on the slow waits, older spring rifles with no bear tra -
Air Arms Diabolo or JSB Exact Jumbo Diabolo (.22 5.52)
mark williams replied to Gaoler's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Agreed. Mitch, ( Villaman ) put me onto the lighter pellets some three years ago , Falcon Accuracy Plus in .22 and JSB Exact Express in .177. I`ve just bought a classic MK1 HW 80, in .22 and the Falcons are very powerful and extremely accurate, here's her numbers Gaoler. 626.64 ft/second, 11.71 ft/lbs atb, Mark. -
Lovely work Jimmy, as always. The coffee tip is one to remember I won't forget that you are first refusal on the 77 but I have to admit I love that old girl. Again, lovely work Jimmy.

Meantime, practice with what we have with the " Air Cannons " "Cah BOOOOOM" ! , " Cah BOOOOOM" ! ( Phil`s with `I'm )- Timberrrr ! ( oops shot the fecking tree down, missed the squirrel on the feeder )

Hi buddy, If it helps, I bought a brand new, shiny, Walnut Pro Sport a few years back that came to me beautifully ready for a finish to be applied. My RFD advised me to apply Walnut oil, which I did. One of the regular lads - Big Mac, ( Jimmy ) should be along soon, refurbishes rifles regularly and prefers different oils for different jobs, here's one of Jimmy`s refurbished rifles that I bought from him. (front rifle, beech and true oil I believe )

Nice write up Phil, Good luck with the 57 buddy, only ever picked one up and shouldered it, never shot one, if I remember correctly the loading pop up port was`nt my cup of tea either but saying that its a HW, and normally that means quality. Interesting post Phil, please let us all see how you get on with her both shooting and stock work etc. atb, Mark.
