I finially broke 1 MOA at 275 yards with the Talon SSS
Took a lot of 640 yard trips painting the target to do it, but today it happened.
The magic combo was 2800 PSI, 64 inches of elevation on the Leupold/ Holland Long range VXIII 30 MM 4.5×14 scope from a 50 yard zero, bullets sized with Imperial Sizing Wax, thank you Jerry and a bipod, with the Maddog grip resting on the Caldwell range bag. I was tethered and refilled each shot. I used Dyotats valve which takes around 100 PSI each shot from the AF tank.
2.5 inches for 5 shots at 275 yards, there are two shots in the large paint mark.
My piss poor bench rest.
You can just make out the 8 inch gong as a faint white speck to the right of the crook shaped hanging vine.

where can I buy the z valve adapter?
You’ll never hit anything with that… 😀
Damn fine shooting sir!
😯 😯
You made a typo , you meant 275 feet right. 😆
Jesus, thats outstanding shooting roachcreek.
I dont think I could do that with a powder burner.
WOW:!: Darn I wish I were there to congratulate you:!:
GREAT SHOOTING ROACHCREEK:!: ❗ ❗
’bout damned time! 😛
seriously, very nice shooting.
The best advice I can give to any of you who want to shoot 150 yards and beyond with an airgun and cast bullets is…….
Save yourself a lot of work and get a Haley 257 and a Lyman .258 Mold.
This rifle has served me well, but I have gone to bed so many nights with aching arthritic thumbs from taking it apart and putting it together to keep it tuned for what WOK says it was never designed to do.
And he is right, there are better platforms to do this.
My rifle is truely a testiment for the fine work that Dyotat does, but if you look on the Adventures forum, you will see a Jack Haley 25 that shot a group you can cover with a nickle at 300 yars and doing over 200 FPE.
And of course that Haley probably shoots groups often like the one I shot today, and like the one I shot today and the Haley nickle sized groups it is a seldon thing, but it doe happen.
But bear in mind I was shooting at 2800 PSI and the Haley, like my Ranger 45 operates at 3900 FPE and it requires a huge cash out lay to have the equipment to shoot at 3900 PSI, especially when your only getting one or two shots.

Doesn’t look like all that wildfire smog affected your aim any.
Nice shooting again RC.
That is just insane!! I don’t think any of us realize how much work has gone into what you achieved. Your dedication has paid off in a big way. Well done!

Congratz man! Nice!
Are these groups reproducible?
I would never have imagined that this level of accuracy was possible. Clearly a lot of work, knowledge and attention to detail was needed to make this happen.
It might be a good idea for you to share all of the details of how you accomplished this (equipment and process) so that others that want to attempt to achieve this level of accuracy can learn from your experience.
Congratulations……

Great effort as always Charlie. I noticed the cleaning rod on the hood. Did you swab/lube the bore during session? If so, when?
