Did some shooting with the 2400KT .177 Carbine today

[T191032]

Well, I got out the Crosman Custom Shop "T191032 2400KT Carbine" and did some accuracy testing with it.  I have not spent any time with it in some time, so I was glad to get in to the basement (got a heat wave going here in VA, ya know) and see how the Carbine would perform. 

For pellets, I knew from previous testing the H&N Sport Wadcutter did rather well in this 18" .177 carbine.  I also knew I was getting a little "thin" in the single tin I had on hand and was wondering if anything might be "suitable" to be used from the stock on hand.  I decided to try RWS Basic, Hobby and Meisterkuglen 8.2gr in addition to some Crosman Competition and Gamo Match Waductters, plus I threw in the Stoeger X-Match, which I believe to be H&Ns, as well.

I drew the pellets straight from the tin for all but Gamo Match Wadcutters, which had been weight sorted; these were from the 7.7gr sorted lot.  I admit I messed up a little bit in my shot count, because I was trying to get my best 'bang for the buck' pellet/Powerlet ratio, then changed the protocol just a bit.

Well, in looking over the results, it shows the RWS Meisterkuglen Heavy wadcutters to shoot pretty decently in the 2400KT, when I'm locked down onto the benchrest pretty good and not jerking the trigger.  POA/POI seems to vary a little, as I was trying to aim for the bullseye center of each.

Of course, this is all pretty worthless without pictures, so here they are -

Nice! Groups should tighten up a bit more after a good break in.

Basics for fun and Mr. K's for the money shot. The last tins of Basics I got were $5.06 from Walmart or Amazon. Really good pellet at a terrific price.

I guess I was just concentrating more yesterday than previously; as I had not found the Basics to be kind to me accuracy wise.  Like those Meisterkuglens though.  Got plenty of Gamos to work through.

Some very respectable groups!

I was looking at the same Custom 2400KT last night for the wife, showed her the cost, $86 and some coin, and she couldn't believe how inexpensive it was.  Told her it would cost more for me to get the base 2240 and all the parts to build one...she told me to order it!!! . I'm still considering doing it.
