I don't eat them in this area, she went in the trash- she was pg. But do eat deer, elk, game birds and fish.

No …but thanks. I’ve seen and busted enough starling to know how to ID them.

The app also gives call examples..... That work. Check your local regs on this obviously. Merlin is pretty fun.

That tail looks like you made a mistake..... But if I'm wrong and it's just ruffled I get after crows too. It's weird how ravens and crows will hang out together and ravens will even mourn popped crows. Whatever you hit him with you blew the down out of him

Great shooting and yes, we can be the cause of issues especially with airguns...

Thank you all for the information, I got out and shooting this evening with what little daylight that I had. Per the above posts, I swapped out the tungsten hammer for the stock fx hammer.

Slowly started working on setting reg and hammer settings till I maxed those to the point I was not getting any more speed,,, Keep in mind this is at the valve return on 5.

Surprise surprise, accuracy was actually pretty good! At least the best I have had out of any slugs thus far in all of my testing. The big kicker here, was only getting about 840-850 fps. When I tried to increase the valve return towards line 6, accuracy just exited stage left.


Any thoughts??

you need to go the other way, if your group is getting wider with speed, start closing the valve maybe 1/4 1/8th turns in at a time take 3 shots and repeat you will see the group tighten up, that valve being open that far is wasting air and could be causing an issue.
most accurate way is to measure the valve with calipers from the back of the knob to the block of the gun.
measure your micro adjustment with calipers vs the lines on the side much more accurate.
just have a pen & paper to keep notes. good luck

The rifle has less than a tin of pellets and it is less than a year old. I have a Bauer Oceanus, so the air is good. I did not check the orings yet.
I appreciate the help and suggestions.

Dude you are scaring me""

Hello, Mark King! Great shooter, Great Guy

If you have access a lathe..... it is a snap...
The main body is made from tungsten, the skirt that is threaded on is made from Stainless

Wow what a beauty! The pre-WWI BSA's are really something special. And you definitely won the wood lottery.

@markhooper : I also carry a 1911 or a MAC - 10 on a thigh holster for quick access in case things go south.

@Bedrock Bob : You are absolutely 100% correct. They can be extremely dangerous and will most likely eat your hat as well. Did they weigh the pig you posted? He looks heavier than 300 pounds.

He may be bigger than 300. The guy on the right is a Texas hog man for sure and he estimated 300#.

They have shot several in the past that were bigger. I don't think they weighed any of them.

They go to the farm 2-3 times a year for a massacre and have their hands full shooting them and dragging them off. There is an adjacent landowner with lots of acreage that allows them to multiply freely. So they have their hands full when they get together for a hunt. Pretty much nonstop action all day and night.

There is a pipeline that crosses the property with a good view from the house. About 1200 yards of low brush just high enough for them to feel safe. You can spot hogs walking through there 24 hours a day if you look hard enough. You can kill a pig or five just having coffee on the front porch.

Nice combo, what reg setting are you using?

100

Dave~H said:

I have increased hammer spring tension. Actually at the max speed I was able to get to the hammer spring tension was maxed out.

Why the warning on the small increments?

Thanks

The warning is for your final fine tune. The valve on the Dynamic block is larger than any other FX gun. So changes in hammer spring strike make bigger differences than in most other guns. It is easier to adjust right past your sweet spot.
There is no physical hazard. It just took me a while to learn to go in small increments. In fact another member here had mentioned it and I tried going in small increments. It worked.

I'm with you. Thank you for your service. I know I have many times before. Wondering if we ever crossed paths before airguns. I was Army 98-06.

Click to expand...

Possibly! The Army is big and Ft. Hood was huge. Thank you for your service as well brother!
