Testing cheap Hobby pellets in my Morini 162ei air pistol - 5 shots, 10m group outside to outside 8.4mm

I've not much experience with match air pistols but that seems to me to be pretty good! Impressive - are they RWS Hobby?

Dave

Yes, RWS Hobby. Not quite as tight group as RWS R10's but only 2/3rds the price and still capable of a maximum score (on non-decimal targets)

This is R10's - 5 shots at 10m


RWS Hobby:

Hmm.. this is making me want a match pistol again....

Just off to check GT

Here's another of my match pistols - This is my old Walther CP-2 CO2 pistol, cutting edge in it's day and still capable of excellent results. These aren't expensive - I paid around £200 for this from Egun in Germany (Ebay for shooting stuff)

Well, its taken me a while, but I am back to having a match quality air pistol - a Steyr LP50, which I am doing 10m rapid fire postal comp with starting soon! What a great piece of engineering :)

Excellent - The 5 shot semi-auto air pistols are fun to shoot.
Here's my Brno B96. Being CO2 I was concerned if rapid fire would cause accuracy problems due to the cooling effect, and hence lower pressure. Maybe a little, but not enough for me to worry about.
This is at 10m with cheap Hobby pellets.

Ah, a friend had the Brno, another really nice pistol. I had a five shot years ago that had an inline magazine and ran on co2. Lovely thing with a quality leather case, tools and spare seals - but it wasn't reliable so sadly I sold it on... wish I could recall the maker.

RWS Hobby are great if your barrel likes them. Plenty of the 10m gents on the airgun forums use hobby to good effect in the 10m SSP rifles. I don't shoot that much 10m so I just stick to meisterkugeln as that was what it apparently grouped best with when I bought the rifle, and it still way outshoots my capabilities so I haven't tried to disprove that fact!
