Thanks, Dave. That was my suspicion.

Target was hung in front of backstop by 6 inches or so. Targets are also regulation benchrest targets, chosen for their ability to showcase accurately bullet strikes. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d61/bOUddha22/tx200.jpg Not the best picture, but this is the TX200 in .177 taken the same day.

.22 cal Hunter is rated 975 FPS. It shot lighter weight pellets fairly well (half inch @ 20 yards occasionally. I'll probably give this to my neighbor, just curious. My TX200 is much better in all areas, of course, and I swapped spring & parts to lower it to 11 FPE.

H&N 19.09 grain pellets, thru a GAMO .22 Hunter. Is this normal?

Got TX200 on Thursday, shot it some on Friday, Vortek 12FPE kit arrived & installed Saturday, old man happy Sat, Sun, Mon...teeth are dry from grinning for three days. This is one sweet set-up. At 50 ft, five shots into .189, shots 6 & 9 expanded group to .710". 50 shots total thru gun,...

I ordered it from Pyramyd Air...nobody local sells them as far as I could tell. Nice wood is always welcome! I bought an English walnut stock set for a Thompson Center Contender made by a guy in Nebraska that is so beautiful I can't sell it... http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d61/bOUddha22/IMG_0192...

I think I'm here, therefore...yep.
