DAISY GATE

Well, here you go Daisy dudes, you got your Daisy gate.

Once again GTA responds positively to members desires and reaffirms why its the first place I go when I fire up my computer in the AM. You guys are the best! 

Thanks to GTA for listening.... when I joined GTA, I had absolutely no idea that I would become so deeply interested in my year-old Daisy 880.  I did notice that it was surprisingly accurate and dependable.  I mainly shot it at 10 meters and ever-shrinking targets.  Recently, reading the many Daisy posts, I began to stretch the distances that I shoot out to 40 yards (about the maximum space I have available) and thanks to all of the discussion, the 880 is giving me more pleasure than I ever expected.  Recently, I gave it a 4-32 scope to compensate for my failing eyesight.  Other than that, it is totally stock.  All I have ever "fed" it is 30w n.d. oil and pellets.

It may be unusual but my 880 likes the Daisy Precision wadcutters as well as the Crosman premium wadcutters - and the Winchester domed (round nose).

Again, I appreciate this source of Daisy information and will continue to seek ways to regain my shooting ability so I can find out just how good my Daisy 880 really is.

@Alanheal:
How do you get those low weight pellets to deliver any power very far downrange?

At 8 pumps the Daisy 880 sends those light, lead free pellets, including the wadcutters, hurtling 25 yards to penetrate empty soup cans. I rarely pump it ten times, just not necessary.  I was surprised at how well the Daisy lead free worked, first because they are wadcutters, and second because Daisy is not known for making the best ammunition.
I don't know the weight of the Daisy Lead free, but I think it's a bit over 5 grains.  The baracuda green are  6.48gr and the H& N field target trophy power ( copper coated) are 8.8 grain.
