      My apologies. HFT is nothing to do with ballistics which is why I didn't include it. HFT stands for Hunter Field Target. It's a shooting sport where competitors shoot at metal targets that fall over when a 'kill zone' is hit. Targets are usually set out in woodland at different ranges and the kill zones are different sizes. Hope that helps? 🙂👍

He carries excellent scopes, I also have a DELTA OPTICS JAVELIN 5/30/56 for long range from him also but it's a big heavy scope 34mm scope tube that's why I put the LPVO back on it's great out to a hundred yards for hunting.

I've only shot one 14 round magazine through it to zero it in , and it blew me away its incredibly accurate, the Kral comes with a spare bottle so you can just change the bottle over, it's a surprisingly cool bit of kit, it would make a great ratting rifle😂😂 im gonna give it a whirl tomorrow for a few hours..

      It sounds like something is getting knocked and moving, or it could be a scope fault. Check your scope rings are properly torqued. If everything's tight and it still happens, try a different scope if you can.

    Interesting video as always thanks very much. I don’t do air rifle BR but have picked a few things up from YT. I think the H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 grn hand sorted are very popular for BR, can very often produce less energy than JSB but you need accuracy first. The QYS 8.48 streamline are also excellent imo. You must try both head sizes with both those pellets. As always a good batch of the JSB are pretty much impossible to beat but it’s finding the best batch. Also I think the BR shooters weigh and size pellets for competition. Would be interesting to see the sizing process and the results if you ever push it that far. Another thing I’ve found over the years is that the least junk you have on your barrel the better. You could do with the adjustable air stripper and tune it to your best pellets and then leave it be. Problem being it might be too noisy for your garden and create many range trips. Just a few thoughts. Thank you very much for doing these videos. I find them so interesting. Just add a bit more 😂. Not sure if you find the same thing but I’ve found that the AA 8.44 with the deep skirt pockets shoot very well with PCP and the ones with the shallow pockets shoot well with springers. Might be just my guns but that’s what I’ve noticed. Trouble is, you have no clue what you are going to get until you open the tin.

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter 8 дней назад

      Some very useful advice there, thanks for sharing. I think I'm starting to realise that compared to HFT pellet selection is much more important in BR. Your air stripper advice tallies with what I've been told by others. Apparently the FTP900 barrel needs the weight of the stripper on it to maintain the good harmonics and keep it accurate. I'm going to be testing that. All the best. 🙂👍

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter 9 дней назад

      Hi Neil, yes I do still have it and you're not the first to ask about it. I was thinking about converting it to a bench rest stock. It probably didn't show in the video, but the bottom of the grip where the palm rest goes has been cut off and the grip has been fettled a bit to allow for right handed shooting with a thumb up position so it's not really in good order to be used as a left-hand stock.

  • @fxpeter22
    @fxpeter22 9 дней назад

    That looks like a beast Jeff, good luck taming it. Like you I found the Baracuda 8 pellets slower than the JSB even though they are stated as the same weight and head size and they also feel tighter when pushing into the breech. As another one of you viewes said the material is a little harder causing drag. Keep up the good work🙂

    H&N pellets are always slower because they are a harder lead alloy causing more drag in the barrel

    what a stunning bit of kit mate . and to be fair i think with the stock and hamster back to original it looks very nice . was not keen on that ally hamster probably severed its purpose but the original one looks better in my opinion. shot a few of those down the club . between that and the ev2 both fantastic bits of kit

    Your targets are too large. I draw a grid pattern and shoot for the intersections. I also sight in 2 hash marks lower in the scope reticle, so that I don’t shoot out my aiming points.

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter 10 дней назад

      You're right, and I did say in the video that I usually shoot at smaller dots or my own printed targets with 5mm bulls. Check out some of my other videos and you'll see that's generally the case. 🙂👍

    Hi, I think I saw you at the recent BRK day! Thanks for the good tip regarding scope height. Do you do this after you have zeroed the scope, or when the reticle is optically centred? Thanks.

  • @auldman
    @auldman 12 дней назад

    From my experimentation: I agree regard pellet weight. WRT head size - the head size shown on the JSB tins rarely correlate to the head size in the tin. Using a Pelletgage, I have found head sizes ranging from 4.49 to 4.55 within the same tin regardless of the size shown on the tin (the JSB Premium has far smaller spread). In my rifle, pellets with measured head size of 4.52 and 4.53 give the smallest groups, the further the head size deviates the bigger the group. I agree batch number does make a difference. The batch number with least deviation in head size and a head size that suits your gun will produce the smallest groups. Main brands better - not a safe claim, it depends on the variation in the tin. Skirts - not done that test. In your experiment did you use consistent heads size pellets - it might be the group size was affected more by the head size than skirt distortion.

    • @hftshooter
      @hftshooter 12 дней назад

      Thanks for sharing. Perhaps I need to get a head sizer and test this myself. What head sizer do you use? As for the skirts, I didn't size the heads, but since the video many shooters have told me they've had the same results. 🙂👍

      OK, but I've never seen anyone make ballistic adjustments in the field due to temperature. And to be honest, the gauge is so small you're not going to get an accurate reading from it.

  • @three-phase562
    @three-phase562 15 дней назад

    Interesting video to watch and set of results to look at. The reg pressure, hammer weight, travel and spring pressure are all interlinked to give the speed to the pellet. For sub 12 ft-lb, if you up the reg pressure you will have to compensate by reducing the hammer travel or spring pressure etc. It tends to be a long process of multiple adjustments. Sub12 airgun channel is fantastic, but you don't get to see the amount of testing they must do to get their results. Thanks for the video.

      The resolution is good and the 5 levels of screen brightness are not super bright. You need level 5 in bright daylight, but at night it works well on 1 and I didn't notice any glow when night filming, never spooked the rabbits anyway. 👍
