Dimitris! Welcome back from afar! Looking forward to your statistics as both my PCP’s are close to your AA in terms of ft/lb energy wise .

Thank you Randall!

Nice shooting! You have a great view from the window!

Thank you Randy!

I still need some time to prepare the promised video about the BC of these bullits, but at least I finished (and would like to share with you) a video of 2 shots at 100 meters I tried yesterday.
My target at that distance was a thick book and the impact of these projectiles on it, kind of confirm my BC results.
(for whoever is interested: they LOVE lothar walther barrels)

Here it goes:

Maybe I should better place this second clip together with the first one...

Dimitris, that is some serious BC! 180 pages at 100 meters is very impressive

.

I was very impressed as well when I opened that book and saw the results!
It was one with very thick pages and that's why I used the caliper (so to give an idea of the thickness of the penetrated paper).

ranchibi · « **Reply #27 on:** February 06, 2019, 07:32:14 PM »

I was astonished how much penetration occurred at THAT DISTANCE!

That would make an impressive hunting bullit!

UPDATE INFO...UPDATE INFO...UPDATE INFO...

1) Someone in another site mentioned (and he's absolutely right!) that these solids look very much like the discontinued .22 Eley Magnums wich were excellent "bullits" (a copy maybe???)...

2) Discovered a link of a shop in Greece wich sells them!Here's the link:

Very interesting thread and like others posted I want to fish from your kitchen window or better yet sip my morning coffee looking out that window

PS; Once I get my new FX Crown ,22 I would like to find a source over this side of the Atlantic and try them.

Is that corrected to ICAO conditions, or is it the BC at your location and existing weather conditions?.... Either way, pretty healthy for a flat-bottom bullet with a Sectional Density of only 0.079....

For the BC calculation I inserted the local data (humidity,temp, etc) of that day.
After my (little) experience in longer ranges with these solids, I started having suspicions of an interesting BC.

That's what I'm talking about . It doesn't get any better unless it is cloverleafing a group at 100 yards

Avra · « **Reply #39 on:** March 08, 2019, 07:24:49 PM »

I'm working on it:
A few weeks ago I received from Holland a good number of .30 NSA slugs (47 grains) so I had to find the right shooter for them...
My EDgun R5 is coming tomorrow
