Title: RTI Prophet .22
Post by: SADave on July 12, 2020, 06:39:19 PM
Went shooting this morning by the time I got to the range it ws already 85 at 9:00Am here in SA. Shot the Prophet at 75m. Still havent adjusted anything so far it really likes the JSB 18gs of the pellets/slugs I've tried.

Shooting a bullpup from the bag is still weird for me,  I should get an adjustable front rest and a bag rider. When I shot my R-10 after the Prophet the R-10 feels much more natural and easy to hold on target. Despite that the Prophet was more accurate.  I used my Vortex 4-12 Crossfire SFP that I had on my PBBA .401.bc it was the only picatiny mounts I had, so not the best target scope.  I had stopped by Academy but they were sold out of mounts. Next week I'll get a better scope  mounted for bench shooting.  Conditions were pretty good overall. I was shooting to the west and had a slight crosswind from the S wind.

Tried a couple  .22 217 Griffin slugs and it scattered them all over. You can see some of the flyers in the pics. They werent even within 4" of the aim point at times. The FX slugs opened up a bit but still grouped. Tried the JSB .25g redesigns but it didnt like them at 125bar reg setting. Very happy with the gun so far though.

Congratulations on getting your prophet! At the very least you already found her fav pill 👍. Nice shooting.

Nice choice and congratulations on finding the right pellet so fast.  It may be worth trying the sampler from NSA- the 17.5s  in particular.

Didnt bring the chrono, I was on call this weekend so only was there for an hour. I'll bring the chrono next time.

Ya, I'm happy it likes the JSB. Admittedly I dont have as big of a selection of .22 pellets as I used to. Seems all my guns like the 15 and 18g JSBs the best.

Ill check NSAs site for a sampler pack.
