in the old shot shed, 50 M up ahead is now one of our two 100 Y targets.

A paper shot the same day, the center hole shot like setup above, but all the surrounding " misses "
Me putting a clamp on a 45 X 75 mm post and then using it for a mono pod and at the same time leaning up against the shot shed or i would not even have hit the paper.

It favor the 18.1 gr JSB but the 16 grainers can also be used.
Also tried 22 gr pellets and also not too bad, JTS pellets also good.

The rifle is full power as in 2012 a Dane could buy ANY caliber PCP rifle if he/she was 18.
But one newspaper article on the power of modern PCP rifles, and some kids shooting at people in the streets,,,,, with a 4.5 mm of course ( in the Danish capitol of course )
And BAM only 4.5 mm allowed if you are 18.

When i was a kid you just had to be 18 to buy a shotgun here, back then less gun / any kind of violence here
we 14 - 15 - 16 yo kids got a older M8 to buy us a nice side by side at a thrift store.
It had a barrel with a slight bulge in it and as it was 12/75 we sawed it off, scared the living hell out of some birds with it and made a few little holes in stuff at the local lumber yard / mill in the then neighbouring industrial area.

TBH back in 2012 i almost picked up one of the 9 mm Banjamin buldog rifles.

Did not have a chrono back then, and have not had one when i have aired it since then, ill see if i can remember to do that next time.
But the 22 grainers do feel a bit heavy for it, iit is not like these oldies was super efficient HIGH power rifles.
I am sure i would not have to go very much up in slug weight in my 4.5 mm rifles before i am above it.
