Shooting: CalibrGun Cricket 5.5mm / .22cal


And shooting continues. Same target as last time No.11 Air rifle target. Airgun is CalibrGun Cricket in 5.5mm / .22cal. Distance is again 10 meters and pellet used on all shots is Daystate Rangemaster 14.3gr/0.93g lead pellet.

First group of five shots got grouped nicely in the middle. Sadly time from last shooting has worn of some of the skill and the hurry i had when i was shooting did not give me so good results. I'm not totally happy about the sizes of the group since you can get 5 pellets into nearly same hole when you concentrate enough.  Best group i've gotten with 5 pellets is around 8mm. (using 5.5mm pellets)

Shots again aimed at the center and to the six above. Totally nicely on the other sides of the center line. Size of the group is ok.

Later one bit smaller. I bet the scope would work so much better with longer distance.

To the sheet metal Cricket does nice dents. Lead pellets are too soft to penetrate.


 Dents on the metal on both sides. At some point i will get steel tipped GAMO rocket style pellets for this caliber too and try sooting the metal again.

I also took video to compare the sounds of GAMO Hunter 1250 and CalibrGun Cricket. Sadly the sound loudness is not so apparent on the video as it would be in real world but you can still hear the difference. Camera is around 50cm from the side of the camera.



Next week we'll shoot with the big guns. SamYang Dragon Claw at 12.7mm / .50cal.
