Yes, .22 Leshiy2 @50 meters and .25 Impact @100 meters, this one I planning to make a stronger backbone for higher power to reach 200 and 300.Are you shooting a PCP?

Wow! What sort of energy does it take to reach out 300 meters with any sort of accuracy?Yes, .22 Leshiy2 @50 meters and .25 Impact @100 meters, this one I planning to make a stronger backbone for higher power to reach 200 and 300.
Nice!! They sure ain't my pappy's Red Ryder bb gun!!Yes, .22 Leshiy2 @50 meters and .25 Impact @100 meters, this one I planning to make a stronger backbone for higher power to reach 200 and 300.
Nice. I've got an Air Arms .25 S510 Extra to keep the resident gophers and grackles in line at a distance.Yes, .22 Leshiy2 @50 meters and .25 Impact @100 meters, this one I planning to make a stronger backbone for higher power to reach 200 and 300.
Lots of the PCP type airguns shoot around 1000 feet per second.Wow! What sort of energy does it take to reach out 300 meters with any sort of accuracy?
The accuracy....need a pile of luck as well don't trust Utubers. At 100 meters a 1" group of 5 shots will not place you in competition, projecting it to further distance, at 200 meters need to hit consistently a 4" plate and 6" at 300 meters.Wow! What sort of energy does it take to reach out 300 meters with any sort of accuracy?
Is “drill rod” the same as a “drill blank”?If its not available commercially (at a sensible price), make one. I've made lots of special cutting tools, taps etc over the years; bit of O1 drill rod, propane/air and can of old oil is all you need. Perfection requires relieving, but a workable cutter can be made by milling/filing away all but the smallest of lands behind the cutting edge.
I think I have seen drill rod referred to as drill blank also. Silver steel is another term I've heard.Is “drill rod” the same as a “drill blank”?
I think a good quality end mill will also achieve the same.A drill blank should be round enough to check spindle runout?
I’d have to buy or borrow a height gauge, tenths indicator, v block and surface placeProbably, I guess depends on the drill blank and the spindle . I'd expect something different from a drill press vs a schuaublin lathe.
You can check them easily enough; tenths indicator on a height gauge, V block and surface plate. Sweep one end of the blank, then the other, rotate a bit, sweep
None of the Nato tolerances are anywhere close to microns. +0/-.025mm is hardly micron level precision. Not saying that sloppy work won't affect results.So, people who compete need a micron tolerance on the tool.

Is 12 thou runout decent for a drill press? I was expecting worse

The gun is way more accurate than this one eyed old man.
Lots of the PCP type airguns shoot around 1000 feet per second.
If you put 2500 psi behind a pellet it can go a ways, just not in a very flat trajectory. Much more of a parabola than a standard rifle round.

At anything greater than 100m I am confident that you will have windage to deal with as well, unless shooting indoors.
Gerrit, who used to shoot .303 service rifle at up to 900yds with a Parker Hale peep hole sight. DCRA competitions at Connaught Range in Ottawa and Camp Borden (600 yd at Winona) The only scope we used was for spotting.
We found out the hard way this spring that grackles and blackbirds also clean out their nests when the hatchlings start to fledge. Rather than simply push the crap over the side, which would alert predators to the overhead nest, they grab a mitt full and head for the nearest body of water. This spring that body of water was our new above ground pool. Our yardsite is surrounded on all sides by a mature shelterbelt of spruce, maples, elms, poplars, lilac and caragana. A bird paradise. When I realized what was happening I began the purge. Shot 6 or 7 dozen grackles and blackbirds the first couple of days. This spring I swear I'm going to put up a blind up on the pool deck and spend my afternoons out there with a can of pellets and the hand pump.I can't shoot like I used to, but grackles are my #1 enemy here on the farm. Those devils destroy my crop than deer, turkey, ground hogs, and blue jay's combined! They dig up and eat corn seed right up to the 4 leaf stage destroying many many acres in the process. For me, it's not a sport. It's an economic necessity.
