Title: Morning at the range with Billy's R1
Post by: Duckfish on June 11, 2014, 10:14:24 PM
Hello after a long time not checking in.  I have been busy with work.  And changeling jobs.  This morning I got to spend alittle time at the range.  I traded a nice BSA to long time retired Michigan Tuner Billy Kizy.  In return he sent me his personal San Rafael R1.  I had owned one of his tuned FWB 80 pistols in the past and that is how I knew of his tuning work.  I tried a few pellets to see what worked.  It lies the JSB heavies and AA heavies probably the same pellet I'm guessing.  It was a wee bit windy so I limited my testing to 25 yds.  Here is an example.  5 shots off my hand resting on a suport, the butt against my shoulder.
I didn't shoot spot #5 that's bad juju!
What do you all think?

Thanks Scotty,  ;)

Hi Sparky, yep 860 with the JSB heavies.   :D  The 8.44 were too hot.. 970 looked like a shotgun pattern.

Congrats on the "new" R1.

I am still getting used to a new R1 carbine; my first springer in this power range (14-15fpe). So far, I am not adjusting well.......but I need more practice time.
