I have just been diagnosed with arthritis and a torn rotator cuff in my left (non-dominant) shoulder. I had been finding it increasingly painful to shoot for some months and decided to give it a rest for a season whilst I sought a referral to see what was going on. I can't help thinking that nearly ...

Steyr UK advise that the best results are with heavier 4.50 rifle (not pistol) pellets. I use JSB 4.50 Match Diablo rifle pellets in mine.

I use JSB Match Diablo AR (4.5mm) pellets in my LP1. Steyr UK recommend heavier AR pellets as the Steyrs operate at a higher velocity than other APs.

Great series of pictures - thanks for sharing them !

Shouldn't be a problem moving distances - on a standard Anschutz rearsight you should expect to go up about 40 clicks from 50yds to 100yds. A word of warning though - if you shoot with a noticeable degree of cant, you will also need to put on some windage.

It's shot 20 at 50, 20 at 50, 20 at 100, 20 at 100.

And a double Dewar is of course 40 shots each at 50yds and 100yds. Shot with a .22 rifle.

To sum up for a Steyr I was adviced to select a high qulity pellet with a good reputation, that is on the heavier side, and you can easly and regularly obtain. Then have someone who knows what they are doing eg Styer UK, not the _know_it_all_ next door, tune the velocity in for that given pellet ty...

Steyr UK actually recommend using rifle, rather than pistol pellets because Steyr pistols operate with a higher velocity and the heavier rifle pellet is more stable in these conditions. I also know that pellets with a 4.50mm head size are a better fit in Steyrs than 4.49mm Up till recently I've been...
