Pictures later.

Dave,

PDA ammo is kind of a joke. It is to light. Pushing the pellet close to the speed of sound diminishes accuracy considerably.

Most air guns achieve best accuracy with what ever pellet keeps the fps around 875-900. By picking a heavier grain pellet and shooting at the slower speed you will still see modest increases in FPE.

Here is my new toy


Day state air ranger 30 fpe version. Shoots a .22 18.1 grain at 905 fps. Hawke scope. I have the tank and shoe box compressor coming for it. I should be able to have a quarter size group at 75 yds if i do my part.
