Okay, M1963 rules "Not a scam."
Let's nominate our next contestant on "SCAM! or not a Scam." M1963, I'll take WTS Air Rifles for $3,000 please . . . .

Sorry, I don't see it that way. WTB is much different than WTS. Alex, I'll take "yes a scammer" for $500. Here, "1-post-Wookie" is responding to a Want-to-BUY ad , asking: . . . I noticed you may have one. No, they DON'T have one. Read. It's a WTB - perhaps scammers don't take t...

Let's Play: "SCAM? or not a Scam?" You be the Judge! First contestant: My son made marksmanship at Mariner High School and I am trying to give him the tools to be successful. The Major recommended the 2009 Crosman and I joined this group cause I noticed you may have one. I live in Cape Cor...

Maybe I can improve with heavy version? Here's my 5-round pistol pseudo -group with RWS R-10 7.0 Maybe the heavy version will keep me from sending every fifth pellet to the 7-ring aka " low earth orbit ." Hypothesis: Human bio-mechanical variance will produce 100x-plus the " landing ...

Feinwerkbau also recommends the 8.2 grain pellets (at ~150 m/s) [492 ft/s] Given: 7.0grain: V = 568 ft/sec (chron'y data) 8.2grain: V = 525 ft/sec (estimate) Flight time to 10m (32.8086ft): 7.0grain: 0.05776 seconds 8.2grain: 0.06249 (let's assume flight in a vacuum, no deceleration) Gravity: α = -...

. . . maybe try some 10 grain pellets . . . Awesome! Let's try the 10-grain Depleted Uranium pellet. Better trajectory and the Pyrophoric Effect has got to help on tie-breakers using the Doppler-system on electronic targets. I can see Mr. Orvin right now, scouring the rule book trying to find the p...

(you know, like all committees, if you want something stalled, form a committee.) I've got a brilliant solution - let's form a committee to oversee the other committees! ( On a serious note, is there a specific §501(c)(3) organization under either CMP or USA Shooting for charitable donations? More ...

. . . overlay of all individual targets usually show that different pellets - certainly different weights - have a different 'epicentre' and would therefore require sight adjustment. Sure thing. However, adjust high or low, and how many clicks? . . . the change of the barrel time from 2.69 ms to 2....

Answering my question here - updated schedule posted: One relay only for all air guns, both women and men. 09/28 PET WAP 9:30 09/29 Match 1 WAP 9:30 09/30 Match 2 WAP 8:00; Final 12:15 10/01 PET MAP 9:30 10/02 Match 1 MAP 9:30 10/03 Match 2 MAP 8:00; Final 12:30 I promise to bring my extra-high-stre...

Any word on Squadding?

There's one relay just MAP, one relay just MAR, and the middle-time relay is mixed Pistol & Rifle.

.00292 - .00269 is 0.23 milliseconds, not 2.3 milliseconds Proving my point! Now there's 1/10th less "time-in-barrel." Regardless, back to topic, not enough additional "time-in-barrel," for even me to mess it up! Human error vs. mechanical error: See center pic above, nice group...

Your math looks to be assuming that the pellet is at muzzle velocity the entire time that it is in the barrel. You know it starts at zero. Brent, please review your criticism: Run the numbers again, I actually used AVERAGE velocity - yes, it starts at zero. For secondary proof, use: Dist. = velocit...

Buy two cartons of each pellet and when you finish shooting them you will know the answer. Absolutely. This is the only correct answer. I'd limit the variation of 7.0gr vs 8.2grain - as simply: How would the trajectory change, i.e. how many clicks on the elevation sight, if any? Less barrel time, l...

THANKS!!! Got it!

Access Ft. Benning next week?

Does anyone have the info or link as to how we pre-clear background check to get into Ft. Benning next week?

Pistol Pellets: 7.0 gr vs. 8.2 grain ? A wise sage recently told me: "No one uses the 7.0-grain pellets, unless your pistol is 40+ years old!" I had informed him: "Gee, I've been using the RWS R10Match 7.0's for the last seven years . . . Olympic Trials next week!" Sage: "W...

Oh, we will . . . welcome to Target Talk.

Rover, calling Rover . . . your input is needed in the Shooter's Lounge department.

I wouldn't want to dip it in a tank filled with a solution of cleaner with fine dirt suspended in it. First bath: Ed's Red (look it up . . . ) Second bath: denatured alcohol with HBN (hexagonal boron nitride) . . . would not put a assembled pistol or partially assembled pistol in a ultra sonic clea...

Generic charts DEFINITELY the way to go! Much better than using a coach or actually training. The bigger the chart, the better!

Definitely KGB.
