[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 6495, member: 25"] I chronographed the Shock Wave bullets this week downrange and got some very good accuracy. Best was three shots into 1.25" at 200 yards, that was probably a fluke but it happened. Shot an Omega and this rifle preferred Pyrodex over 777 pellets. 777 pellets are 90 fps faster at the muzzle than Pyrodex - using 150 grain loads. From a 100 yard zero the bullet dropped 8 inches at 200, this is flat for a smokepole. Beat up my skyscreens again, plastic chunks on the ground everywhere but that is what happens when you leave the diffusers on. Easy to replace. Now I am going to try to get velocities at 250 and 300 yards, will be tough. Fired 65 shots the other day. Found that 5 30-grain Pyrodex pellets hit exactly the same as 3 fifties with this rifle. Quite a difference in size but they worked the same. [/QUOTE]
