Nice, Tommy Boy! I have my 125 sniper Vortex QE sighted in at 25 yd, myself... (using Air Arms 25 4gr Field Diablo ~700fps IIRC)Sounds like you've got yourself a nice shootin' pellet loading.....and I quite envy your ability to "strap on the snowshoes and go hunting" as I have nowhere to hunt at the moment and obligations that would preclude me from doing much of it, anyways. Doesn't change my love for hunting. Anyhow, enjoy that rifle and enjoy the hunting! Keep us posted!
Nice ... Very nice! :Cool:
With that lake I'd have a problem deciding if I wanted to hunt or go ice fishing. Great shooting Tommy, and excellent write up. Good luck. Waiting for more of your hunting adventures.
You're a better man than I am Mr Tom. While I love shooting, I most definitely don't have it in me to get decked out like you do and go spend hours in the conditions you do...lol.The Air Arms pellets are a weird thing at least in my guns. JSB makes them for Air Arms and they're the same pellets you'll get if you bought the JSB branded ones but for whatever oddball reason, they shoot better in a few of my guns than the JSB's do. I have both weights of the Air Arms in .22 if you want to try before you buy. Oddly, I don't have them in .25...hmmmmm.....
You know what? Tommy your last post just reminded me that I have, in fact, tried the air arms falcons in 22 caliber .....the 13.43 gr pellet. It's honestly not the best in my SuperTACT . 22 and doesn't even get any higher velocity in my gun than heavier pellets.... So... It's a no go for me on the falcons. Likely good in some guns .. just not mine, really.

Lot of the reason I don't post much anymore is from constantly getting slapped around and down for what I do post....lol.I do have the Air Arms Falcons and they shoot even better groups than the H&N FTT's in my HW95 but for a rifle with the power the Talon has compared to the 15fpe the HW95 shoots, not sure how they might shoot being so light and why I didn't mention them thinking of the Talon.I'll get some of those Field Heavy 18gr's boxed up and on their way. Also learned a major lesson from the fiasco the PO made of the Falcons I sent to LtDan and yours will be in a box.
Nothing wanted, nothing needed, my friend Only thing I've ever asked of anyone I ever gave things to was should you get a chance and can, pay it forward to a fellow member if they're looking for something

I haven't ever shot any of those yet.I should order them in both 25 cal. and 22 cal.I have 2 spring piston Hatsan 125 hunting rifles to shoot them in.I am surround by state land, about 65,000 acres or so and more still just across the border in Wisconsin.Small game forest hunting is what I do when I am out hunting.Winter is a great time to hunt... as I have the woods all to my self in Jan & Feb.Best Wishes - Tom
