The air ranger 50.ft.lb is simply a beast. had been filling it to 230bar but filled to 250 bar and shot off this string down to 110 bar. 50 shots holding the same POI works for me. While I'm not power hungy this rifle will make you grin and grunt. using the 21 baracuda gets me 50 ft.lbs but I like the jsb 18.13 more. anything less than 18.13 slightly spirals on its way to the target at distance except at 150bar then they fly true.
then tried some cuda match and jsb 25.39gr just to hit 50ftlbs. I'm not into larger calibers but don't mind a .22 that hits like a .25
I'm definately going to get a few more daystates.

that is a great rifle and you did exhaustive work on the stats but what kind of groups are you getting at 50-85 yds to me that is the most important stat of all

Ok Grady now you have my attention I may have to expand my want list again . Right now I am getting the Air Arms S510 Extra Fac .25 dialed in and ready to sell. Then I will start to shop for my next "LAST"rifle

#1 &#2 are the RAW HM1000X or another Daystate $:-\$

50 yards pretty much hole in hole 1/8 to 1/4 groups, 80 yards one ragged hole 1/4 to 1/2.
also, this rifle is pretty much the way I brought it out the box, no extensive work done (havn't even cleaned the barrel yet), heck, I wouldn't even know where to start on this one and if I did i wouldn't. this rifle was meant to be a beast, untamed and unadulterated.
I like the way it shoots, sends that .22 down range with a lot of extra stank on it.*L*

Grady, that is a sweet rifle you have there. Daystate accuracy is amazing. One question for you. Where did you get the program/spread sheets for tracking your information? Is it available to the public or something you created?I would like to be able to track my rifles like that. I'm just not that good in creating Excel spreadsheets. LOL!

I havn't shot a RAw yet but if I can get a .22 delivering the kind of stank the air ranger does. I'll drive down there and pick it up.

Don't ever do what I am about to suggest then...

Get a 12 bull target, and at 50 yards put 5 into each bull. Repeat at 80 yards on another sheet. Average the max c-c distances for each group.
cheers,
Douglas

I'll give it a go in the near future,the most I've done was 5 shots at 50 and 80 with three 1/2 inch targets. (those little colored ring stickers)

1/4"-1/2" groups with the 21 barracudas at 80 yards sounds good enough ( excellent ) to me.

Some may not appreciate the penetration power the .22 cal. 21 grain barracuda/kodiack pellets have - when traveling over 900 fps.

Though I feel certain some of the hunters of deer, hog, etc., that go for a brain shot do.

Enjoy/shoot your rifle the way you want to, it sounds like a good one

Now that is what I am talking about. excellent accuracy. would you believe my LGU in 177 shoot 5 into a .30 hole at 53 yds. it is PCP accurate and does nothing bad that a springer is known for

Interesting that you are getting the same POI at 999 fps that you are at 1097 at 80 yards.... pretty remarkable.... Any idea how that is happening?....

here's a few more spreadsheets. Enjoy.

for me, shooting groups is important up to a point. it lets me know where the rifle and or I stand at for consistancy. once that's determined, then i focus on precision and accuracy. shooting at various targets at various distances in changing conditions is what my main goal is. I can shoot at a static target all day. after a while it gets boring and it doesn't reflect my ability. one target, one shot, hit or miss. I also like picking straight from the tin, that unknown variable makes it even more a challenge. I know I'm not going to hit every target on one shot and I'm not even going to think I can. but when I'm in my zone, it's lights out.
what really wow's me with the daystate is the power and accuracy. lets just say my back yard is a target rich envirionment and I've seen the devastation this rifle produces on targets.
at the last fun shoot, a young lad picked up this rifle and repeatedly hit a 1 inch bell plunger at 50 yards. honestly, I get more of a thrill watching others shoot my rifles than I do.

no not at 80 yards, at 50.

rsterne · « **Reply #14 on:** December 25, 2014, 05:39:07 PM »

OK, 50 then.... Curious, because Chairgun predicts a 0.69" vertical change in the POI with those pellets at those velocities.... Strange things happening there for sure, I wish I understood what....

my quote was 50 shots holding the same POI works for me.
this comment below is not related to 50 shots.
"50 yards pretty much hole in hole 1/8 to 1/4 groups, 80 yards one ragged hole 1/4 to 1/2."

abslayer · « **Reply #18 on:** December 25, 2014, 05:52:59 PM »

So then how many shots do you claim for this comment (( 80 yards one ragged hole 1/4 to 1/2."))
Just asking
