Pellet in Air !

Post by rsuresh » Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:03 pm

Guys,

Have you ever seen the pellet when shoot from your gun ? Of course you need a scope.
I have many times witnessed this in my marauder and recently in my HW 80 too.

Hi Suresh,

Hello Brihacharan,

I have checked/ Chronied the FPS of both the guns and they are doing fine.

The HW doing 905 FPS with gamo promags!
The Marauder doing 945+ fps with the gamo promags.

Hey guys,

Yesterday when i was firing my IHP .22 with Gsmith High speed pellet i was able to see through the scope ,the pellet actually hitting the target , the target used was a white coloured cardbaord box, but if i use a Mastershot roundhead pellet i cannot see the same.

Think the gsmith pellet is loosing power during its flight due to its weight or may be my gun lost its power need to check. :(

:cheers:

Santhosh,

The Gsmiths are heavy compared to the other pellets I have used. Yet i have the bigger grains too.
Its heavier than the Gamo Promags which is 7.6 Grains.

Brihacharan ,

All my rifles in 177 except the Indians ones in 22.
