Getting it right
I hope to get out today for some range finding/pellet count. If goes well and it does not rain I will be putting out targets at 30yards and taking as many shots as I can from I fill but only 5 shots per tagert aera so I can see how the fill pressure affects the POI at set distance.
With this done and now knowing the ‘sweet spot’ I will fill my bottle to about 2500psi and take a shot, again at 30 yards, see where the pellet lands. if its in the sweet spot aera I will fill the bottle a bit more and shoot again to see where it lands. I am going to keep doing this until the pellet leaves the sweet spot aera.
Yer its sucking eggs for you guys but its all new to me.
So I now I know my fill pressure for the sweet spot – target practice time. That is if I am not exhausted from pumping up my bottle.
I am going to put out targets at 15 – 25 – 35 – 45 – 55 – 65 – 75 yards
I will be zeroed in at 35 yards and all shots will be take with the Xhair on centre of target. 5 shots at each distance.
If it turns out that 35 yards is not suitable for ‘Zero’ distance I will adjust the ‘zero’ to a more useful distance. With anyluck it will be on a multidot either up or down.
Once this session is over I will know;
The sweet spot for my setup.
Range finding with the multidots at all distances tested.
Which multidot to aim for at said distances.
How accurate my kit is.
I will post results from this session and maybe it will assist with others and their setups.
I know there is software out there that works this all out but there is nothing better then doing it and having confidence knowing that it is reall and not computer generated.
I will shoot B Magnums from a prone possistion using a bipod.

I do not have a clue what the TH is set at as it is a BN valve and I can’t work out how I would measure it.
I think my sweet spot is lower as the hammer is lighter at 65g.
