There was a lot of accuracy testing data put up on gmi forum with some stunning results by members who had bought dies and swaged their own slugs.
The accuracy from these slugs is top drawer if made and used correctly as it's not a one size suits all barrels .
So you need to experiment with different diameters of caliber and shape of base and hollow and grain of slug to find what works or not for you "simples"

Prize for high over all score. (Not including unlimited class).
The bald spot on my forearm confirms sharpness of knife.

Nice kills. The second one reminds me of one I hit with my P35-177 about in the throat. It bled profusely and initially fell from the tree but then climbed back up about 10 feet and sat there looking at me and my dog. Then it fell and my dog shook him a few times to finish him off. Neck shots have consistently worked well for me even if my placement is not perfect. But the larger calibers do provide a little more margin for less than ideal placement in my experience.

I killed one with a pump up 177 that had about 5 fpe but I won't use it again on a squirrel. I hit the shoulder and the pellet broke it but did not get to the vitals. So the squirrel died but it took over a day. It could not climb and couldn't run very well. I don't think guns at that low a power level should in general be used. I did not even like the results with my original Prod tune of about 13 fpe but it did work as long as my placement was good. It it tuned to about the same fpe as my P35-177 (18-19) and has similar results. Any reasonable hit kills them quickly. I like my 30-50 fpe airguns too and I think they kill a little quicker and give a little more placement margin but for backyard shooting I like my under 20 fpe airguns. They are quiet with adequate power and their pellet doesn't carry as far if I miss (but I am still careful what is behind where my gun is pointed).

Come back and tell the folks here after you have gone through a few low dollar compressors. You get what you pay for.

I wouldnt call a GX CS4 a "low dollar compressor". Maybe middle ground?

Anyway, I've always refilled my bottles at the local fire station, all of them have high quality HPA compressores. My guess is that most people have on fire station not that far away. In here they want to fill it for free, but I always leave a nice donation for them. I just bought the compressor for convenience.

But you do you, it all depends on the amount of air that you need.

There is no formula.

The only means to accurately calculate BC from 2 velocities at a given distance, or 1 velocity with a known drop at a certain distance, or with 1 velocity and a known time of flight at a particular distance, is with a ballistic solver that brute forces the value by iterating through every possible ballistic co-efficient until the stars align (or rather its outputs match your inputs) and, walla, your 'ballistic co-efficient' is produced.

The above method has been fully tested, tried and trued to match MERO / Chairgun Pro.

So from now on, when someone asks, whats the formula to get BC from 2 velocities at a given distance ect, you say...a ballistic solver formulates that for you.

The why:

You cannot formulate or 'solve' Ballistic Coefficient without drag tables (which are velocity dependent) and knowing the flight characteristics of that particular projectile, which you feed into the solver by providing it two velocities at a given distance apart, or 1 velocity and a drop distance from POI and a given distance, or 1 velocity and a time of flight at a given distance.

For those who own them ... Maybe ?
Or there was inventory yet to be sold ?

If the manufacturing of said rifles is no longer, such would be the parts support for them ... No ?

So I'll have thr dream valve and .22l 4500psi bottle but still running the stock barrel (for now). I'm going for max power from this so just making sure the 4.5mm port still applies to the factory barrel.

Thanks for all your guidance on this fun little gun.

Yes!

You need porting in order to get max speeds

I wonder if wrapping the moderator in felt would help if that is even possible.

Click to expand...

Not sure if even possible, tried to unscrew mine and it is on there so tight I cant budge it, feels like Im going to break something trying to get it loose. Not sure if it was put on with loc tite or not havent heard of them being so. Will have to try a little heat and see i that helps.

Mine would have been delivered today, but I'm at work and a signature is required. Monday it is.

Ideal i would live in a place where all year i could wear. T-shirt - shorts and flip flops, or that is i use to say that, now that i have almost doubled my weight by a sudden ability to gain weight, well i am not as good with heat as i use to be.
Then again i am old and crusty so not work that will get me sweaty

The ES was all over the place and the group sizes were more than 2x worst than before. After change the o-ring accuracy and low ES returned.

Ic. Glad you sorted that out. I will keep that in mind, thanks.

Ok, great, thanks, I found A.G.R and attempted to send a PM. Apparently I have not made enough posts and can not do a PM? I followed the "hover over my Icon or their Icon" instructions, and I do not see any option for a PM. If you could send him one I would appreciate it. I have looked at a few of his posts, and he is definitely someone who may be interested in what I propose.

After getting my Redwolf some months back I have experienced the "hype" behind Daystate products.
With regard to both of the guns you mentioned, they are both fine products. Price would be the motivating factor.

is the link for the new Reset Arm attachment for the Rx Speed Silhouette set. This is sold separately and all forthcoming Speed Silo sets will allow easy installation of the kit. Now one will be able to reset the targets from the bench which is more convenient when other shooters are on the firing line. This also will allow more practice and less walking back and forth to reset the targets. 4 sets have already been sold so I am looking forward to seeing how they do. If you have a Rx Speed Silo set already and want to buy the Reset Arm attachment kit contact me and I will show you how to modify your existing target to accept the accessory.

While I'm obsessing, lol...back to another point above.

The diameter and side alignment tabs of front sight inserts vary between brands, so you have to do some homework to get what fits your sight. (The "M" numbers refer to the diameter in mm of the threaded sleeve that clamps the inserts into the sight. Sleeves of a given size will interchange between brands, but as you can see the inserts do NOT.)


Some makes of inserts come with a variety of post and ring sizes and shapes, which you will want to play with to see what suits you best. Here is a random selection of Anschutz ones:

I will give another bump for Vulcan 3 500mm. You can get a synthetic from talon tunes for like 1440. Out of the box and shoot. Super easy to tear down and work on or fix any leaks.

Update as the 5% sale isn’t on anymore so it would be a little over 1500.

Oh damn, well he would definitely CAD yours if you send it to him. His mags are pretty stellar and they look great

Big THANKS & admiration goes out to rc4fun & HooXXDVM for 3D printing & mailing out to me a tripod adapter plate that was virtually impossible to find were it not for these guys. What I've come to expect from so many of the great people here! Pay it forward people! It's what makes AGN a growing & worthwhile community!

Yes, great helpful and knowledgeable group we have here. I would like to take this opportunity to mention Dckoch, who gave me great advice as well as provided 3d prints of stock adapters for my HW44's. I am still enjoying these.

Accuracy is fine with a .22 Huma on a .22 Crown. There wasn't any accuracy difference between the old kevlar Huma and the new Avalache Huma. The Avalache was waaay louder than the old Huma or the DonnyFL Koi

Another great man doing great things! I toast to your generosity

Buongiorno,

Sono un tiratore sportivo e sto cercando di trovare la giusta configurazione per il mio fucile FX Dynamic calibro 30.

Attualmente sto utilizzando un cane Tungsteno da 26,4 grammi e sparo slug Javelin 2 gen da 68 grani con un reg da 165 bar. E la mic.impostata 3.5 ps anche se aumento la velocità non cambia.

Con questa configurazione, riesco a raggiungere una velocità di 935 fps, ma la precisione è troppo bassa.

potresti aiutarmi a trovare una configurazione che mi permette di ottenere una maggiore precisione?
Grazie per la vostra attenzione.

i will say its a tossup between the Fx m3 and the ghost hp,
then he says if i wanted the black hp ghost he could do it for 1725.00 cash out the door.

That’s a great price on the Ghost, its going to depend on which one felt better in your grasp… Me I am partial to the BRKs through their performance afield. Others have had great success with theirs in competitions. If you feel “haunted” tonight? It might not be a bad thing…

Vincent is spot on....Sportsmatch.
