Robert, I vote for the light pellet drift less as well...weight
difference is not a whole lot yet the velocity is faster=less drift imo.
of course, I though it was the heavier pellet at first, but after much
though, the lights would drift less now that I figured it out.

Hi Andrew:
    Thanks for your thoughts on this.    In the future, I'll try to do a
field test and report results, but I think the faster, lighter pellet
would drift less.....but I will admit to some uncertainty as while wind
drift effect is a function on exposure time (more time for slower
pells), it is also the case that the lighter pell is affected more in a
given period of time than the heavier pell.

men.....maybe we need to accept our traditional roles, and stay men :-).
    Alternately, maybe the concept of us men discarding our f.arms in favor

                          by Tony Belding >>
I generally agree with this review of the QB-22. I can understand the
roblems
encountered with bulk filling. First off, this reviewer did not use the bulk
fill extension which makes the QB-22 bulk fill more like a 114.  It also
really takes some technique and practice to make bulk filling work.  A good
example is the 300 shot QB77 that I just got from MAC-1. I was able to
chieve
a 90plus gram fill. That's the same as 8 powerlets!  Still, it took me 3
ries
to get a maximum fill, but once figured out it is now easy to fill to the max
everytime. Charge on Monday and shoot till Sunday. Great stuff.

ps: Not sure if MAC-1 is offering it as an everyday option but Tim also did a
special blueing job on my Ultimate QB's .  Beautiful.

We have Airpistol Silhouette match every month.  Usually 2nd Tuesday of the

San Francisco Airport.  The matches start around 10:30 am.  There are open
sight and any sight matches in classes.
We have some very good shooters too.  Most use Morini, but there are a
smattering of FWB, Steyr, Walther, IZH-46, Daisy, Hammerli, etc.
Oh yeah, and ONE LD-1 from MAC 1.
Yeah its mine, and last Saturday I shot a personal best -  55/60.  I really
enjoyed beating Morinis and Leupold combos with my LD-1 Bushnell combo.
Thanks to Tim for a really nice gun.
Anyway, anyone in the SF area, come on down.
email me if you have questions.

assistant: To: HAMILTRE@osd.pentagon.mil
Subject: pell drift
Robert,  From my calculations the 7.9 grain pellet that started at 800
feet per second will have a wind drift of 4.32 inches in a 10 mile per
hour wind at 50 yards.  It well be traveling 629 feet per second and take
.212 seconds to reach the target at 50 yards.
The 10.5 grain pellet that started at 800 feet per second will drift 3.32
inches at 50 yards in a 10 mile per hour wind. It will be traveling 662
feet per second and take .206 seconds to reach the target at 50 yards.
The 7.9 grain pellet starting at 970 feet per second will drift 3.55
inches at 50 yards in a 10 mile per hour wind.  It will be traveling 763
feet per second and take .175 seconds to reach the target at 50 yards.
There are many other considerations that may raise more questions than
they answer.  I have seldom found any.177 pellet that is accurate at much
above 900 fps.  Also,  Most higher powered spring Airguns will "damage"
the pellet enough to lower the ballistics coefficient considerably.  I
have seen round nosed pallets that shot with lower coefficients than
wadcutters after being "damaged" by fast action spring airguns.
More later, Guess I better start packing to leave for Baton Rouge.  I'll
stir things up more later.

I'm very surprised at this post.  Most every lead pellet I have ever shot
has much more penetration than is necessary.  Those aluminum pellets
have a very very poor ballistics coefficients and are terribly
inaccurate, also.
The copper coated pellets are also terribly inaccurate.
A good supplier of unusual pellets might be Harry at JW70@aol.com.  Some

I never recommend any more than 2.75 Oz in a full length extension. You

So by rule of thumb you don't want to go beyond 72 oz. Don't push it. I
put 2.9oz in it to test it and told you 2.75oz max. Then you tell
everyone that it holds 3.2oz. You need to set a proper example. Don't
