Field Target Tech #2 Weighing Pellets

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Thanks for graphicly showing just how much difference in trajectory the different weights make.

This was an older version (2-3years ago) of Chairgun by Hawke optics. You can go to Hawke optics and download the newer version. It is a free program and download.

these videos are great,every shooter does them differently.every pellet scrutinised well done,may i ask doing this do you believe it gives a sort of pscological advantage over other shooters.would you do a shoot out with cleaned way and straight out the tin

[@sniperxbow60]

BITSNBOBS, I wouldn't say that it gives me a psychological advantage, other than I know that I'm not putting a possible sub par pellet in the mix. I don't remember if I mentioned it in this particular video, but in an Exact JSB 8.44 grain tin, I've found weights between 8.07 grains on the low side, up to 8.74 grains on the high side. That alone will, or could give me a miss on a 55 yard Field Target. Add inconsistent head size into the equation, plus a larger/smaller skirt size as well, and you could possibly have pellets out of the tin, if not sorted, vary more than 50 FPS. That's a large number to be off, particularly when a decent wind is involved. I would say by me sorting them in this order: first weight, then head size, then skirt size, is my normal regimen for a big match. For a local, or club match, I might not go to those extremes, and sometimes my score shows for it. I would say psychological wise, it doesn't give me an advantage, as much as peace of mind knowing that the pellets that I am using, are culled to almost perfection.

Good video I use scale from my reloading equipment you know that little slide scale works good or I just use my digital gram scale and do the times table for grains you want got it written you're all set just my opinion y'all have a good day shooting bang bang bang he he he

[@joedejesus6363]

Awesome video Thanks, this video was very helpful. I'm looking for a an accurate but fairly price scale, which one do you recommend?

[@sniperxbow60]

Joe, this is a no name scale that I got from Hector Medina, of Connecticut Custom Airguns. If I recall, this scale was relatively inexpensive, less than $60. If you look on Ebay or Amazon, there are comparable scales, at even cheaper prices. As I believe I stated in this video, a scale that reads, for example, 7.9 grains, 8.0 grains, 8.1 grains, is not a fine enough scale, in my opinion for these purposes. Just make sure the scale reads at least 7.90, 7.92, 7.94, etc., for the accuracy we require. If you can find a scale that reads even finer, like 7.90,7.91, 7.92, 7.93, etc, even better. You should be able to find a similar scale that I have for well under $40.
