Thank god, Tt, I thought it was me I'll print this and study it using the fragment of brain that time has left me with. Thanks (I think)

Thanks, Timmytree, that completes the picture, though I'd appreciate clarification of a couple of things: "work out the sweet spot" How do I recognise the start/finish of this? (Yes, that's how rooky I am!) Am I right that it's when I start to get on-target, consistent grouping? "coun...

Thanks, Pav, that's very helpful indeed. I'm beginning to wonder- rookie that I am- if it would be worth my while after all. I'm reassured by your pre-regulation POI consistency; I had visions of POI falling away steadily after the first few shots (!!) I guess that explains why not everybody agonize...

Thanks, Scrane. It's not the shot count that bothers me really, it's the thought that I can't be sure when I'm missing because of my lack of ability or because the power has dropped off. It doesn't have a gauge on it, so I can't check power level. I'm thinking about getting XTX (or somebody else??) ...

Hi Dan. In fact it was noticing your reference to your moderator at the foot of your posts that alerted me to the fact that an S200 COULD be regulated. As a result, I visited the website you refer to. He seems a right sort of bloke who knows his stuff. But it's not exactly dirt cheap- to get it done...

BISLEY it is ! Thx, DH.

I'm seeking help (again ) with some basic stuff. I'm thinking, from what I've read, that it seems a very desirable thing to be using a rifle that's regulated. So, I'm toying with the idea of getting my S210 done. I wonder if anybody has any advice re. whether it's worth doing and why, any particular...

That's very interesting indeed (the air attached for constant pressure). My shooting buddy will be onto THAT! I normally fill to 180. Would you recommend pellet testing at 180? Am I right in thinking that optimum pressure is likely to be reached at about 160? So, would about 160 be best for the pell...

Thanks, Neil, that's very useful. I hadn't thought of just clamping it into a Workmate. Need to pad sides with polystyrene or something to avoid marking. I'll check no crossover problems by varying distances. Fortunately, I'm able to do this undercover from the more or less constant "summer&quo...

Hello, DH. Thanks for that. It's an S200 with 10-shot upgrade. I hadn't thought of using a bipod. I suppose, on a bench (Workmate, say), I could keep it steady with a couple of breeze blocks. I'm also acquiring an HW springer but haven't got around to thinking about zeroing that. I hadn't heard of B...
