Extreme Bench Rest this year will have a 200 big bore competition. I set this 4X4" steel target at 200 yards primarily to practice for that event. The weather has been in the high 90s but the wind was quite calm today with a cross wind of approximately 5 mph.

I put the bullet info into ChairGun with my 85 yard zero and got a holder over of 6.4 mill dots at 10x. The first shot went over the target so I placed the target centered in the box above the 6 mil line. Bingo!

Here is the 4 shot group ( thought I'd quit while I was ahead LOL)

Looking back at my shooting position.

That's 191 fpe at the target. No problem taking a coyote or deer at 200 yards if you do your part!

Very impressive!!! Nothing like raw power and a finely tuned weapon. That is a lot of down range wallop!!!

That is the big surprise. Both the swaged 125 and 139 gn bullets shoot considerably better than the mystery bullet but I'm completely out of those (hint hint). What is the mystery bullet........?

.........Hunters Supply Soft 358 127 gr. FP. Yep, they are a very economical practical plinking round. These bullets are not round, have lots of flash and some have sharp slag on the surface that needs to be removed or they will slice up the breech seal.

This is one that I recovered, it was just laying on the ground a few feet in front of the target. 43 gns is what is left, I have no idea where the rest went.

Production is moving forward. I finished 100 triggers and cross bolt safeties this week.

Kinda off topic, but what do your .25 caliber, regulated Sport Pup's cost?

Not sure yet but should be similarly priced. I haven't found a barrel in 25 cal that I'm happy with yet (got 22 and 30 covered) so it may be a while before the 25 is ready.

judging from the "Splatter" on that target,
at 200 yds that thing is still hitting like a runaway freight train !
Very impressive Tom !
WOW!

The accuracy and power of your gun has MOVED the .357 "GAME" upwards. Making that kind of power AND accuracy at that range is something that has not been done before by any maker or modder that i can remember.

Glad to see the airgun "GAME" being stepped up. The whole "ITSA 50 YRD GUN" is getting closer and closer to being gone. Ahhh, the next 5+ years will be interesting.

Keep up the good work Tom and thanks for thinking outside that darn "QB" box that every maker except Crosman is stuck on.

Thank you to our advertisers!
