Ronno's Daisy Trigger Mod Install "Pic Heavy"

[Keepingitsimple]

I can run some across the crony today, IIR I found the 13.4 gr JSB .177 are the most accurate pellet I have shot out of my 1977, I will report back on the velocities in a few hours.

OK Here is what I got for now.
Crosman 10.5 dome 8 pumps 694 FPS
                              10 pumps 738 FPS
  Opsi I went 8 pumps, but got the velocity you are after at 10
Benjamin 7.9 dome  8 pumps 730 FPS
                             10 pumps 812 FPS

That's pretty close to what I was looking for. Thanks.
I wanted to know what the approx velocity is w/ 10+ gr at 7 pumps. I'd guesstimated it to be around 650 fps.

13.4 gr Jsb's? Might have to try some of those. H&N 11.57 gr Silver Points are on my bucket list. As are their 10.03 gr Hornets.

 I can do some more test and get the pumps right, and add a few other pellets to this, will be in the basement range playing with my new pp700 later on.

That would be great, James. (I had no idea Benjamin was still making the 7.9 gr dome after Crosman discontinued production of that pellet).

I guess you're having lots of fun with your new PP700? It is WAYYY too windy for target practice where I live. 15 mph wind from the SSW.

You're right about the AA 10.3's. My Winnie likes the Jsb 10.3's. I'm definitely going to have to take advantage of PA's next 10% off sale and order the 4 for 3.

Airgun Detective said in his 1977 vs 880 vid that RWS 8.3's were good for 806 fps / 12 fpe using 10 pumps. He also used that pellet for his accuracy test where it did a 0.51 group at 20 yards.

Even without Ronno's trigger fix. Bet it'd do better now, huh?

I need to stock up on those 8.3's too. I have a Lego 1389 hosp sniper that also likes them.

Eeek! Two 4 for 3 orders.

Actually have not done much shooting, except for a friends Gamo Mach1, that I  am trouble shooting <` see the pun for him, next step is a teardown and seal replacement.
 I will get back to shooting the 1977 while I await Gamo seals. Today may just be the day, if not I have a week off to get there.
 Have you seen my Daisy barrel stabilizing mod using sink washers trimmed to fit the barrel and shroud right behind the front sight, similar to the barrel tape mod but much more secure, and no sticky tape mess to deal with when servicing the gun.

I have no need for that barrel stabilizing mod, but thanks anyway. I have a LDC on mine to stabilize the barrel. Works great. Mine is quiet and accurate. It usually does (or did) 1 inch groups at 25 yards using Daisy 7.87 wads and 5 pumps. Groups with the RWS 8.3 were slightly larger. That was with the somewhat modified, pre Ronno trigger mod, trigger.

We finally had the wind die off for a bit yesterday and I sighted it in at 25 yards using RWS 8.3's at 7 pumps. Groups were 0.75 in size. I'm guessing my Winnie likes 7 pumps better than 5 pumps at that range with that particular pellet and I'm definitely liking that Ronno kit modded trigger in it.

I'd wanted to try the 10.5 gr Crosman dome in it, but I couldn't find them. I'm taking that as a sign that I need to order more of them.

Found my missing ziploc bag of box 10.5's. There's around 700 pellets left. Plenty to wring out the Winnie with them. See how they compare to the 0.75 groups the Rws 8.3's do at 25 yards.
