So I just got my FX Impact in last week for hunting, and I have to say... Airguns have come a long way! This gun with a couple small mods, is shooting a 45 grain bullet at 925fps and it is only about half way up on the power settings, it can still go higher! The accuracy is ridiculous. When I sighted it in, I finally shot for a group and landed 10... not 5... 10 rounds in 0.4" at 50 yards. It outshoots my .223 at 100 yards and is capable of coyote hunting out to around 150 yards based on those accuracy numbers. Getting 41 shots per fill at this power level from its 480cc carbon fiber tank.

But the best part is, with the DonnyFL Moderator and the built in barrel shroud, it is quiet... and I mean... MOVIE quiet! all you can hear is the valve being struck and the regulator plenum refilling with air. STUPIDLY quiet... The animal likely will not even be able to pinpoint where you are shooting from! This all has me really excited to do some woodchuck hunting this summer.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
