The 40gr CCI HP segmenting are so good (subsonic) that I use these for ranges out to 100m very confidentially on small game. .
But how many have TWO .22LR rifles on an FAC?
I use .22 shorts (sorry, not CB longs) on rabbits in the grounds of the local cricket club. Useful and accurate to 50 yards from my Marlin Golden '98.
I like shorts as well and generally, they shoot better than CB Longs. I use a Model 39A Marlin. What is a '98? Is that a UK variant?~Muir
That would be an oops - finger trouble.
39A it is.
Sorry to disagree with you Burpster, but IMHO (and it is only my opinion) any FAC Air Rifle (PCP) giving around 30fpe is going to be a better bet than using CB longs. It will be infinitely more accurate, have a much better trajectory and therefore be capable of shooting effectively at much further range. It will also almost certainly be safer due to probably less chance of richochet and the fact that the pellet will carry less energy !
No needs to apologise, that is your experience of them, but can I ask how many different types did you try ? Or is that your experience from one box of one make?
I tried several types (I was a real pain to my ammo dealer) and found one hat worked really well with the Finnfire. Fed perfectly and was sub1" at 25m ( what I would expect of an airrifle but with 2-1/2times the energy). Was relatively loopy trajectory but then anything subsonic is when you get used to c/f rifles....
for me it was a perfect round for rats and I will use it again.
My Caveat is that I have never settled for one make/ model of ammo for air rifles and r/f until I find one that works as expected with the rifle. (A lesson hard learned from Center fire and hence why I now reload).
I think there's only 1 rifling twist rate and its calculated for .22 long rifle including all the lunatic velocity as well as the low and slow.
Not too surprising then that different rounds shoot differently - even atrociously.
