Anschutz 9015HP barrel band testing, 25m bench rest

[@Marcus_Shaw]

That's really interesting and great to see it quantified. A while ago I noticed a shift in POI with my HW100KT which I traced to the barrel band putting a downward pressure on the top of the barrel. When using a Bipod the extra pressure from the clamp on the Sling Stud stick screw had caused the bottom of the barrel band to bed progressively further in to the stock causing the shift. Any change to the pressure underneath the gun was transferring up to the barrel and sometimes causing the POI shift, although it was mostly only noticeable when putting away and taking out again. Currently I'm using a Rowan Engineering Floating Barrel Band to negate interference to the barrel and I have cut a thin metal (Beer can) spreader plate to sandwich between barrel and stock which is easy to add to if required to relieve pressure from the band on to the air cylinder. I think of I was going to try another band I would want to experiment with perhaps some method of bolting in both axis so I could adjust alignment and fix in position, perhaps in a similar way to the Sabre TRS Delrin shroud clamp 🤔 Thanks again 🙏👍

I reckon once you open up the plenum it will run smoother and under less stress 👌 Buy awesome progress boys and great shooting 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Yep that's definitely on the list, at the moment its nice and slow progress we want to test everything rigidly so we can get a definitive idea on whats going on with the rifle. Thanks for watching

Excellent Jake, another very interesting vid and great attention to detail, I can see your going to be up there next comp, Geoff had better get his finger out as so should we all

[@sub12airgunners]

Cheers Chris, the rifle is turning out nicely interesting to see all these little changes and what effect they have, Thanks for watching.

[@Fabio4408]

Nice video as usual, but being a competitor in various national match, I would like to suggest you to use a .22 gauge for a correct marking, in order to have an international comparison with other results my great respect mate Fabio

[@bashm5767]

Another Great video guys👍🏼

[@Tim_Bassett]

Really nice shooting there and even though it’s slightly better, everything helps 😁. Keep up the good work.

[@sub12airgunners]

Cheers Tim its getting there, more and more little improvements and we should have a really nice rifle at the end. Thanks for watching.

[@warrensnaith8035]

Another great video boys. And great shooting Jake. Hope mine improves with the band👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Cheers mate, we saw a definite improvement, with the chopped off one, although a few people have suggested lifting the block in the stock and fully free floating the barrel and cylinder, which I will have to check out at some point. Thanks for watching.

[@jaytee8188]

Thanks Jeff, I found that very interesting.

[@sub12airgunners]

No problem, Thanks for watching.

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Awesome video definitely improvement 👌thanks for sharing 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@jeffhello1444]

nice shooting tex 😄

[@gordonmoore4356]

You will be please to know that as long as the marker is touching the blue line, ie no white showing between the two circles it counts as the higher score so definitely a 250. The scoring pin you are using is fine for this testing and practicing but they have been updated now and the newer design with no magnifier, is the official scoring pin. Great video, keep up the good videos

[@sub12airgunners]

Interesting very good to know that, do you have a link for the pin by any chance? It would definitely be best to be using the right one, but for these tests it doesn't matter that much. Thanks for watching.

[@philpinkney9238]

Hi ya so I'm confused generally speaking iyo is a barrel band better to have or not. I've seen lots of people go from a free floating set up to a fixed setup

[@paulspeller968]

so very interesting indeed . i would say definitely an improvement for sure. as you say also you have to take into account your not fully used to that rifle yet

[@sub12airgunners]

Yeah the stock is still a little cramped at the moment but I am getting used to it. Thanks for watching.

[@DrSurfingTiger]

Hi, Geoff, what pellet did you use in those test? Cheers

[@sub12airgunners]

it was JSB shorts 4.52😀

[@DrSurfingTiger]

Excellent! it is laser accurate on my HW100, and I will give it a go on 9015

[@apt3007]

Hi great videos always from you, but can I ask, is your name Geoff, Jeff or Jake 🙂

[@kerrywilliams9995]

Do you still sale the plugs for the edgun lesilye 2 on. Ebaly thanks dave chubb

[@sub12airgunners]

Hi Dave no sorry, we sold the L2 and don't make the plugs. Thanks for watching.

[@kerrywilliams9995]

@@sub12airgunners understand what you’re saying

[@stuartprouse7254]

Shots 5, 8, 22, 23 ? Plugged using inward gauging ? Domed always leave tear marks and not the true hole size or centre, unlike wadcutter characteristics. Looks good for a 249. What went wrong with 1 shot Jake, heheheeee

[@CrackshotTom]

Need to use a .22a gauge for correct marking

[@sub12airgunners]

Yeah I know, but for this test I was not too worried about score I wanted it to be harsher to get a more better idea of what was happening, but thank for watching.

[@CrackshotTom]

Great vid. Definitely revealed a bit of info a lot of people don't think of 😉

[@philbate5555]

Brilliant stuff jake , it's good to see the improvements on each video you're doing. Apparently if you float the cylinder as well as the barrel on the underside of the block towards the front there's a long grub screw , if you change it to a shorter one you can put another stock screw in it that stabilises the action in the stock, I believe this is common place for the bench rest boys. 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

Cheers Phil, interesting ill have to check that out and re test, interesting to see what the little changes do the way the rifle performs. Thanks for watching.

[@uksnusreviews9455]

Touching the line is enough, you dojt have to break it 👍

[@sub12airgunners]

thanks for watching 😀

[@sonysyafaat]

May....that from barrels it brand new guns, more shot more accurate 🙏🏼
