Title: AT44 22 cal long 150 yards plinking
Post by: blackdiesel on June 11, 2015, 09:38:05 PM
I took my AT44 out and was practicing 100 yard shots on cans.  After a couple of clips it got real boring so decided to stretch it to 150 yards.  I was shooting 2 litre bottles and after about 5 ranging shots, I started hitting the bottles pretty consistently too.  This gun is really dialed in now....

Right now I use JSB 18.13 Jumbo Heavy and the regulator is set at 895 fps average.

150 yard shooting is more than impressive with a .22

I normally use my 25 cal when I get this far. But hitting 12 cans were so easy at 100 yards , I just decided to give it a try.  There was no wind so I was able to hold the cross hairs directly over target ( 8 mil dots at 12X) and the pellets just dropped right on the bottle.  I was hitting about 7 out of 10 tries so it wasn't luck, the gun is just accurate.

Wow, Dont get why my AT44 is so terrible inaccurate?
What you did to your gun? you adjusted power?
hard to think that AT44 ONLY takes JSB pellets, I can't find this particular pellets from local shops now, I shoot over ten models different pellets none of them are helping me.

My gun was always accurate, it was just too powerful shooting the JSB 18 gr pellets. I wanted to use these because I can get 4000 pellets for about $50.  The regulator helped get the speed exactly where I wanted it.  I did get the valves modified and got Baxter to do a barrel crown for me.  I did not do any before and after accuracy tests, so don't know exactly how much accuracy improved, I wanted the crown done to make sure I was getting the most accuracy I could out of the gun.

LOL Misprint, I meant 4 tins 2000 is the correct number.  And I either get the buy 4 with 1 free from PA or the buy 5 and pay for 4 from AGD.  either deal beats the 200 count tins of other pellets.

The 21 gr H&N dome pellets seem to shoot just as well in my gun.  I shoot the JSBs because they're less costly and very accurate.

Long range airgunning is a blast. Unfortunately, 109 yds is about as far of a range as I can manage right now. I'd love to find somewhere I could shoot out to 200 yds. We've got several Steel Plinkers resettable & quad targets set up at various yardages, starting at 80 yds on up to 109 yds.

It's an UTG 6-24x50, but I dropped the magnification to 12x which made the 4th mil dot equal to 8 mil dots.
