    1st PCP; projectile weight questions...

    There is no one size fits all with pcp rifles and slugs. You will have to test to find the weight and size your rifle will shoot best. I have the 700mm panthera but its in .22. I do have a 700mm impact in .25 so it should be the same liner as the panthera. My .25 impact has the 16 twist slug...

    .177 a 600mm or 700mm barrel and why?

    I dont know why 700mm would be too long for slugs for a .177. If you were setting up for pellets then yes 700mm is way longer than needed for full power pellet shooting. If I didnt care about over all length I would go 700 mm. If you want it a little shorter go 600 mm. I feel 700 mm gives a...

    Slug accuracy thoughts

    My first go with trying slugs last year I had a lot of inconsistency in groups. I was trying the standard FX liners with hybrids since they are suppose to work with lighter weight slugs. Mine never did or at least not consistently. This time around I got the 16 twist .25 liner and the 16 twist...

    FX Crown transfer port

    Is it a .30? The .30 only has one port.

    I never need to clean my barrel -- am I the only one?

    rarely clean a barrel. When I do clean its because accuracy has started to decline. I have hundreds of slugs thru one of my slug guns and shes still hammering them into ground squirrel skulls past 100 yds.

    FX Crown transfer port

    Different how? different than the impact? yes the crowns probe is different than the impact. Different like a pin probe? No i dont think its needed at all. If you are trying to get absolutely everything you can then its going to add a little but I dont think its needed for most tunes. I havnt...

    FX Crown transfer port

    Correct. More velocity doesnt equate to better wind resistance with pellets. I dont know about .22 cal pellets and if they are different than .25 for the sweet spot. With .25 cal pellets in my rifle and environment the sweet spot in velocity is 880 - 900 fps for full value wind deflection...

    FX Crown transfer port

    I only use the slug port on my FX rifles. The one exception was my crown mk2 when I tuned it for a 12 fpe .177.

    My new airgun. Can you identify it by name?

    Ya its pretty clear in the video that .5 moa accuracy being claimed is not true. I didnt watch the whole video but of the 5 or 6 shots I seen one may have been a hit but its unclear if it was a direct hit or the slug hit the dirt right in front of the can then hit the can. I didnt see any holes...

    How long is too long?

    Depends on multiple factors. With metallic cartridges powder burn rate and the amount of powder used influences how long of a barrel gains velocity before starting to get parasitic drag. In an airgun replace powder with air and the PSI the air is being released at and I would imagine volume of...

    FX crown or daystate wolverine R

    I have two crown mk2 with grs stocks and I had a daystate wolverine Hi lite b. The crown with the grs stock is a much better rifle on a bench than a wolverine. The shape of the wolverines stock with that crazy wave shape from the bottom of the grip to the butt pad makes bagging the rear...

    FX crown or daystate wolverine R

    The wolverine does not have a valve in the tank so no you cannot remove the tank and put another one in the field on without having source to fill the empty tank. The wolverine I owned was this way so I could be wrong about the current wolverines but I doubt its been changed.

    NSA 55.5 gr slugs

    I think the OP is talking about .25 cal.

    FX Panthera puff of air

    I understand how the valve seal works and you dont get air leaking thru the barrel from that seal. Im just getting all the info possible about the rifle. You say excessive air but how do you know its excessive? The OP says a pretty decent puff but whats a decent puff to the OP? Does the OP know...

    .25 34gr Pellets - How fast?

    Yes I would say you would want to make sure you are using the best combination for the distance you shoot. If you stay at 50 yds and under the difference is so small you wouldnt care. If you are shooting to say 125 yds or trying for farther distance you would balance the speed around that as you...

    FX Panthera puff of air

    If that hole is a vent hole for the hammer and the OP just gets a puff of air when the hammer is in motion wouldnt the puff of air simply be the air being pushed out by the hammer movement? That makes more sense to me and the whole reason the hammer passage is vented. Maybe I missed something...

    .25 34gr Pellets - How fast?

    Crown MK2 JSB 34 gr. 880 fps. I have owned about 7 .25 cal pcp rifles from the lower end Hatsan at44 to my current .25 pcp rifles the crown mk2 and impact m3 and they all shot best at speeds ranging from 860 - 900 fps. Going above 880 - 900 fps increases wind drift on diabolo pellets so if you...

    The hunt for a stable slug continues xD

    Here in the US H&N are some of the cheaper slugs. For me I dont care what the price is. I only care about group sizes and consistency of groups. I also dont target shoot with my airguns I only pest and hunt so I dont go thru a bunch of slugs. If I shot 500 slugs a month I would probably buy a...

    The hunt for a stable slug continues xD

    Sounds like you are getting somewhere. A little tweaking and hopefully your search will be over for a good performing slug.
