Title: Hatsan 125TH .25 - chronograph & pellet testing... PART II (continued)
Post by: microsalmo on April 14, 2012, 09:55:33 PM
Cross reference the first chrony batch here:  http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php/topic,28629.0.html (http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php/topic,28629.0.html)

I played some more with the new 125TH .25 this evening.  I finally got around to testing another batch of pellets, and just for fun, I retested the JSB Kings.  The retest of the Kings was interesting to me because I last tested these in the first 20 shots of this gun's life.  While they have lost 10 fps since then, they have become even more consistent than their previous 2.44 fps standard deviation. 

The gun continues to get smoother cocking and firing.  I'm about 200 shots in now, and the power is still there too.  While I have lost 10 fps since the gun's first 70 shots, it continues to produce (on average/not maxes) between 31-33 fpe, no matter what pellet it shoots.  To my pleasure, the standard deviation has continued to shrink below 2 fps, and the extreme spreads are following suit.

In order of least standard deviation:

The retested JSB Exact Kings 25.39 gr

H&N Hollowpoint 26.23 gr

Pretty exciting results, especially from just a $200 rifle.  I wouldn't dare try to tune her, with a spread like that.  Scope her, zero with JSB's, and leave it alone for the life of the spring

My thoughts exactly. Im not fooling with this one. It's real smooth too.  I feel like it would be worth it to do something nice with the stock.

Any penetration tests done yet? How thick of a piece of plywood will it go thru?
My little .177 Air Hawk drives the little 10 grains thru a 5/8ths thick fence picket from 27 yds.

I wonder if these results wre typical of Hatsan. I look forward to more reads as others get their guns.

... i was thinking of bed lining the stock and muzle break.  Or maybe just painting them. Wish  they sold a wooden TH stock. If they did, I would buy it.
