Chronographed my HW97 today.

I purchased my HW97 .177 in December.  Since then I've been trying to sort it out.  I've found 2 pellets that shoot extremely well.  8.3 and 10.34 JSB's.  Today, I chronographed the 10.3's and sighted it in at 35 yards.  I figure I'll be shooting these at the FT matches in the coming spring.

According to Chairgun, this equates to 13.59 Ftlbs Energy. 

This is a factory HW97.  No modifications.

Good numbers on the .177. Out of the box, My 97 in .177 was shooting the JSB Heavy @792 ave. fps.

When you get a chance, try some H&N Field Target Trophy. Very accurate pellets!

That's pretty good:
 

771           Average

779                 Max

766                  Min

13             Spread

3.8  Standard Dev

The Standard deviation and spread should lessen with use.
Theae are not powerhouses out of the box, but still pretty good, and darned accurate.
