Title: Raw .25 fac Zero check
Post by: maxtich on June 20, 2026, 05:53:18 PM
As the crops are about to be cut ..so I thought I'd double check the accuracy of my Trusty Raw air rifle.
Here's pics of scene with evidence that it's pretty Darn good.
I was shooting from my 4x4 rested on my shooting rest ..pellets Jsb exacts @ 25 gr distance @ 35 yds give or take.
I shot about 20 pellets at these 2 leaves ..wind was about 4 mph.
Most were going through the same hole and a couple were a little out..the pellets weren't checked for weight nor for damage..but I did notice a few skirts were slightly deformed !
I did account for 4 Wood pigeons under GL 42

Good shooting there.👍 What is your .25 putting out power wise.

Was actually doing the same yesterday on my perm with picking leaves to shoot from my 4x4.
Also shot a handful of Jackdaw's yesterday under GL42 from within the cattle sheds.

Yep my Rapid FAC could do similar with the JSB 25gn, but any other pellet it'd struggle to hit the leaf,
fussiest barrel I've ever had.

It's running around 44-46 ft
It could easily go to 50ft + if I wanted ...but it's a waste of air!
KevG told me Fac .25 is best around 44-45 ft.
