PELLET WEIGHT

I have been using 7.0gr R10 pellets in both my Morini 162e and Steyr lp2 but I have never tried heavier pellets. Does it make much difference?
Also has anyone tried Qiang Yuan pellets?

AIMING POINT

I am new to 10m air rifle and was wondering if when shooting comps you are allowed to bring your target back after each shot and turn it around so you are always aiming at the same point. I have shot LSR for several years but as there is only one target to aim at , you never have to move your feet, ...

If you are shooting well ,then I would not trade your gun for one that is probably no more accurate. I know a lot of shooters that have regretted trading in perfectly good guns and scores have gone down. It could take months to get your scores back up to what they are now.

another good 'starter pistol' is the rohm twinmaster action. a few teenage girls at my local gun club have started with these and have had good results. i shoot a twinmaster sport which i would also recommend but it comes down to how much you want to spend.

Re: Hill Pump Question

I just received my Steyr LP50 and purchased a Hill hand pump at the same time. I don't know if other people have the same problem as me, but I can only pump it to 150 bars. Now I weigh 290 pounds, and even putting my full weight on it doesn't help. Is this normal for these hand pumps and should I b...
