For a variety of reasons, all my air rifle have been sitting on the rack unused for well over a year, just prior to that I had amassed a fairly good supply of pellets in .22, .25 and .30, JSB and H&N, and a box of Nielsen Specialty ,30 hollow point slugs, 54.5gr which I never shot, and prior to putting everything up I had just recently made my first 100 yard shots with the JSB, not at all consistent.
So today, I just got it in my head to load up my Challenger Pro .30 and the slugs and head for the range, set up for 100 yards, that's where the ATN scope was sighted at at last use. Used a bench rest, first shot high and slightly right, used the zero function on the scope, and I'm hitting 100 yards like I have a clue what I'm doing, load a mag of JSB and the wind is pushing them all over no group at all, go back to the Nielsen and as good as my witness put 3 through same hole, I've slowed the video down, can see where the rounds went anywhere else, even took a last shot on a fresh dot just to make sure they weren't going hayball.

That's some very good shooting Troy.
I really like those Nielsen slugs. The consistency of the weight and the diameter are the best of all the ammo that I have measured. It's good when you have a rifle that likes them.

I like videos like this. Target shooting.
Even in .177, the nsa slugs can do 100 yds well. It's a whole new game: long range accessibility in airgun land with nsa's.

NSA = the JSB of slugs, the first I will test, aside from my home cast and when I find a great deal on 21 gr H&N slugs, that seem to kill everything I aim them at :)
