Footnote E

Footnote E

This links to a periodical issue which has quite a nice article about the Diana 60.  The bonus is a very comprehensive little treatise on pellet shape, design, and speed with regards to accuracy.  Very enlightening, and applicable to air guns in general.

The writer talks about pellet speed, which I have mentioned before.  Pellet shape, at increasing speeds, makes a difference too.  It would be great fun to take a week and shoot pellets of different shapes through the Diana 60 and do a little accuracy study.  That is the kind of shooting I love to do; get right down to the idiosyncracies of a particular quality gun and see how it can be tweaked to shoot the best it possibly can.  All the more reason to get this gun back on the firing line.
