I will let the pictures do the talking.
All were shot with the R1 shown. 18 power setting, AO adjusted, reasonably firm platform rest shot sitting. 28 yrds (measured) slight wind right to left, 10 shots after each pellet change to "scrub" the barrel and then 10 shots for record. All shooting was done with a light hold, somewhat like the artillery style hold using my support fingertips to index off the scope rings.
No sight adjustments during the shooting.
Here is my R1 and the scope setup.
On the middle target, the tin to the side is the correct one. No pellet holes were covered.
I normally shoot Barracuda's out of the gun. They work well and I like how they load. Silver points are good also but I am inconsistent loading them. Crow magnum are good. Barracuda Hunters are excellent while sports scatter.
Match rifles did poorly while barracuda Hunter extreme and field target trophy did well.
Rabbit magnums stink. Actually only the 2 pellets shown even hit the paper. One other pellet banged up my target box pretty good. The other 7 pellets? Who knows. Spitzkugel did really poorly.
My last three where some old beeman pellets and RWS target pellets from the 80's as compared to modern match rifle pellets. Interesting to see how the older target pellets did better then the modern ones.
So next order?
More other pellets to try as this was kind of fun.

Maybe some Silver Points and Crow Magnums.
Just out of curiousity any thoughts on my 28 yrds range? I was thinking I should go out to 50 instead as 28 is just too close to really separate out the quality of the pellets.
Next time I will do this with my Beeman 400 then with my HW30 from the 80's. It will be interesting to see how they do with modern pellets.
