    I like the short and varied intro.
    I'm a typical German from the south, so typical Brits always seem a bit special to me. Language has a very big influence on how you appear to others. For example, we are used to always getting to the point very quickly and directly and the accents of the German language make us seem rather harsh and unfriendly, which we actually are not. Maybe that's why I like the English language and the associated manner of the English/British people and their friendliness, which always overwhelms me.
    I discovered that there are also inexpensive diabolos that don't have to be bad. The problem with large spreading circles is a relatively large weight distribution within a can. That's why I sort them by 0.2 grein weight difference, which is actually quick. That's not particularly precise, but it's enough to usually create two groups of about 74% and 25%, and a third of maybe 1% that are actually eliminated by weight. This creates two “varieties” that are reasonably homogeneous and each form acceptable groups. Of course, you can work even more precisely when sorting to get even better results. By the way, I also do this with high-quality diabolos. For even tighter spreading circles, the head diameter is crucial. You can also quickly measure it with a measuring gauge and sort it accordingly. And last but not least, there are also calibration matrices for calibrating the head and cup diameters in 0.01 mm increments. However, due to the time required and the purchase costs, these measuring gauges and calibration matrices are probably more suitable for competitive shooters and not for recreational shooters. I don't actually want to share a link, but if you're interested you can search under the company name "Mamba Target" - it's a small company from Cologne. But perhaps there is something similar in the UK, especially as this sport actually originated here.
    Of course, if you have a PCB rifle that doesn't have a regulator, you can forget everything as long as you don't restore the original pressure in the weapon after about 30 shots. In my opinion, the weapon you use plays an even bigger role than the diabolos in determining how large the shooting group will be.
    I use about 40 different types of Dabolo to determine the “best” ones for each weapon. This generally results in 4 types with which this weapon delivers good results, or for the corresponding purpose. If possible, I prefer inexpensive varieties - I don't use very expensive varieties at all. But I'm just an amateur shooter and not an Olympian.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing.
    To wring the last accuracy out of our equipment it’s important to also try diffrent power levels for the selected pellets. A few fps up/down can make a huge difference.
    With current world affairs some of us do not use pellets/equipment made in for instance China.

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter  День тому +2

      Great point! I have done a video with my Ghost where I change the power setting to see how it effects accuracy. Easy to do on a Ghost but not so easy on my Wolverine.

      Thanks. On my lg110 (f. 20fpe class) I now have the reg. (polished) set at 130bar and have backed off the hammer spring for a short intense air burst with minimal valve bounce.
      Have no experience with your rifles but would suggest you consider testing polishing your reg. and try different settings. My next step is to make a larger plenum …

    From South Africa. Bought a used AA S400. Those JSB 10.34s are superb in it. Re the Predator Polymags, hit a biggest rat at abt 12m from a Stoeger springer - +/- 825 fps @ +/- 13 fpe. Close to blew the rat in two. Extremely destructive round.

    Do you think a JSB exact diablo 8.4 grain would be acceptable for hunting? I realise heavier would be preferable, but would 8.4 deliver enough damage?I don't hunt and probably never will but I was just wondering? Thanks very much

    In all 5 of my Daystate's ive done the pellet testing (8 variaties )and each will stack H&N 8.4 and QYS domed 8.4. Red wolf giving best results, 2nd Reverend closely followed by Sapphire and Ghost. Regal and mk3 yet to seriously test

    Hi mate, nice vid thank you, never had a problem with the old intro, like the new one too. Nice look at some pellets in real world conditions and great to see someone shooting at longer distances. So many "reviewers" claim how great pellets are and they only shoot them at 20 or 25m. You only see the real accuracy when you push the distances out a bit further, Cheers

    Have you any thoughts on pellet skirt shapes, I’ve not tried jsb shorts yet but currently using barracuda 8s as they group well and were only 7.50 a tin. they have a slightly longer skirt compared to exacts, but I’m not so consistent since the wind has got up. Thinking more surface area is giving the wind more to act on

    • @hftshooter

    Fairly good results from all the pellets by the looks of things. Is the reticle on screen in the video, what you actually see, seems to obstruct the target view quite badly for me. I didn't mind the original titles, the new ones are an improvement though.

    Good video. Not much fussed about the intro music to be honest, I usually skip over it! One observation though, when you first started to shoot I immediately thought your scope looked to be too high for your cheek piece, perhaps lower mounts would be helpful?

      Interesting vid as usual, said too the Mrs before the 35mtr test that the JSB 10.34 would be best, weren't ar wrong, also very good in mine.. Gonna recommend the RTX pellets, Tillys Gunstocks did a test vid on them, work superb in all my daystate and air arms rifles.. There classed as heavy, although they are only 8.33grn, found them quite good, so much so, ordered 10tins

      I think there's a glitch in the way the scope records video. It always look calm and perfect through the eyepiece, but the recording lens always places the reticle to the right side for some reason. I guess the video capture isn't meant for target shooting?

    Sorry but the combination of over-magnification exaggerating your pulse and the awful over-busy reticle make this all but unwatchable.

      Yes, I must admit the through scope stuff wasn't great. Got to try different things. I think I'll go back to setting up a video camera down range at the target.
