Getting closer to M.O.A.
July 09, 2010 05:08PM
Wanted to get out for just a couple hours to shoot and then decided to try my JH457 AGAIN, on paper at 100 yards. The night before i went ahead and cleaned the barrel. I had not cleaned the barrel since i received the gun and i had just shot some good groups at 55 yards 2 weeks previously, so i figured, what better time to clean. About 2 patches came out dirty and by the third patch, there was just a slight gray tint on some of that patch.

Any ole who, so now i set up at the range and by the time i sight in 5 airguns (2 were my buddies that i did some work on and 3 were mine), the wind started to pick up steadily. So, i had to hurry up and start shooting 100 yard groups. Long story short, the gun consistently shot 1.250" groups at 100 yards with my HP's. Never got a chance to try the more accurate 320 gr FP's but i will next time for sure. I am 100% certain, this gun and ammo can shoot MOA. All groups were and usually always are off of a Bi-Pod.

But i'm happy for now as all three shots would have EASILY/Consistently made a kill shot at 100 yards, and that's with an 11 mph crosswind that was blowing left to right.

And yes, the gun was shooting a little lower than usual as i was previously shooting some HOUSEHOLD items that the wife gratiously gave me to destroy....lol. And i sighted the gun in at about 35-40 yards.

Nice shooting Ced! I don't know how you could hit anything with the target upside down though!
