I tried the USBR at 10 meters with my FWB air rifle with a 6X Sightron mounted on the rifle.
I ended up with a 247 with 6 X. I know that the rifle is capable of shooting a 250 with a very high X count.

Nice target, Kid. Congraulations !! Must be a .22 cal FWB. Those holes look pretty big for a .177. Did you use a gauge to score it or just eyeball it? The reason I ask is a couple of those "9's" sure look like they should make "10" to me. If you don't have a gauge get one. They will add a few points to most targets....

Thanks Claybuster. It is a .177 caliber air rifle and I don't have a gauge. I used a magnifying glass.

When I checked the 9(s), I could see that the green 10 ring was competely intact. The 9(s) could not be any closer without actually cutting the 10 ring.

After I looked at it closer I finally figured out it was probably a .177 w/ flat-nosed wadcutter pellets. I know the RWS Meisterkuglein that I've used punch those nice round holes, almost like a paper-punch. The holes are almost as big as some left by round-nosed .22LR rounds. Those "9's" couldn't have been any closer & not scored I'll bet. But with the nice clean hole the gauge most likely wouldn't have helped either.

Again, really a nice target. Good shooting!

Thanks again Stan. If I ever get a good solid bench set up and a good front rest, then I might even shoot some real good targets.
