Some Punch

[Rez 4,961]

Ive had my 100 apart giving it a bit of a bath... naturally took the optics off.

 

I 'walked the shots' back on to the bull at 22m this afternoon and found that the 'punch through' power of a 177 Field is rather surprising. A large A4 pad, right through, with shock holes half way into the one behind.

 

Crono'd straight away in a slight panic and its the same as before 770FPS @ 11.1ft/lbs.

 

Dont know if I need to think about using Heavies.

What's your thinking behind switching to heavies? Wouldn't worry about it sounds like they suit the 100, plus heavies will have a much loopier trajectory

JSB heavies in mine is doing 712-715 fps and at 50 yards not far of being bag on with AA fields hole

About right then mine. That extra bit of weight perhaps make up for the 40 FPS diff.

 

I may give um a go, just gotta get through me tins of fields.

The problem is that the pad does not have any air in it!

If you separated the sheets of paper you would find that the pellet would be less likely to penetrate, due to the airbag effect!

Don`t know about airbag effect but i soon realized the game bag effect with the AA fields ( 8.4 g ) diablo
