MickHowes 9 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Buying a HW100KT .22 On Tuesday, And my mate just got a HW100S and its only shooting at 10.22 Ft pounds. And We Feel Its been greased up an awful lot and after a tin of pellets(500) theres no change. Any Idea If this will be the sdame with my HW100KT and is there any quick fixes rather than sending the rifle away? Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Mine was 12.5 brand new. After about 1700 pellets no change so sent it back under warranty. Did a full string today its doing 11.4 with jsb exact 15.89 gr 5.52 mm and i get 92 full power shots before it starts to drop off (6 and half mags) and its pellet on pellet at 34 yards. Its a hw100kt .22 all standard 1 Quote Link to post
MickHowes 9 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hmm Thats more like it:) I Get it tuesday,. HW100KT .22 With The HAwke Panorama EV 4-16x50 (10 1/2 Mil-Dots). Some reviews say the kt only gets 70 shots in the green(recommended Section) before severe drop off? Would you agree?? and do u prefer the diable exacts or have u tried the air arms fields? Cheers For The Reply. Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Wasnt looking at the pressure but i think it was 60 bar when it started dropping off on the chrono results. Ine prefers the jsb exacts over aa fields but not much difference at 40 yds only a few mm bigger groups 1 Quote Link to post
MickHowes 9 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Will buy a few tins and see how they do, got a tin of jsb exacts and half a tin of aa fields so ill probs just try those and get a tin of superfields and maybe see with the AA diablo hunters perform like, Cheers For The Help Bud!

villaman 9,982 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 My mates new HW100kt is only running at 10.4 as well Quote Link to post
MickHowes 9 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 This Kills My Happiness:( i don't really wanna send it back to HC just to get it put up a few pound... if i find it doesn't pack enough of a punch to kill the rabbits/pigeons then ill get it done but if not ill deal with it:) Cheers Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 It might be only a way for few days or a week Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mine took about 2 weeks to come back from getting turned down. 10 ftlb is enough easily to kill cleanly out to 50-60 yards as long as you can hit the kill zone. Quote Link to post
MickHowes 9 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ill see what happens, still not sure wither to get a .22 or a .177:/ i can get a .22 3 miles away but can only get a .177 75 miles away:( Quote Link to post

Longers7 720 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I got the hw100 in .177, and it's brilliant. I'm sure the .22 is the same. It would all be down to personal preference . Quote Link to post
MickHowes 9 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 U sure lad? i have been scanning about andi quite like the fact that if u zero a 177 at 25 yards then its on target from 15 to 25 and u only need to worry about holdover anything past 25 yds.. but i do like the .22 just for the damage,. plain and simple. alot more hassle caliubrating your mil-dots but its worth it in the end up i reckon Cheeerss Quote Link to post

I may be tempted to take the hour and a half drive just for the 177 for the simple reason of trajectory but i may get the .22 for simple damage reasons. I'll have to wait and see. tuesdfay needs to hurry up:( even booked 4 days off work just so i can go shooting for a few days haha. Quote Link to post
