Little show and tell of my own 155 gr .357 slugs.

Did a little testing today with my friend Matt

This is 55 yards , with my own home cast 155 grain beer mugs in .358

Do not mistake the shot placement as accident, both rounds hit the pan exactly where we wanted them too.

Look how it perfectly shrouded itself , also Matt can attest to the accuracy of the Slayer even during fast acquisition of new targets. Wish he participated on agn.

The slayer may actually be contending for my favorite rifle.

Awesome 👌.. I know on the end I most likely will keep only the pcps I could cast bullets for..

Air Arms  Has anyone ever tried this with a ProSport?

Tuning and futzing around with spring guns is fun, but it can be very easy to overthink the process and obsess over relatively small details. I have owned my .177 pro sport for a decade and I shoot it often. Shortly after I bought it, I felt that it was over-powered with the OEM spring and would likely shoot better at about 12fpe. I dropped in a Vortek 12fpe kit and seal, and have never looked back. That was about 9 years and many thousands of pellets ago. It still shoots consistently at 11.8fpe with JSB 8.4s.

If you want a 13-14fpe gun, buy a standard power spring or kit and clip a off a few coils. If 12fpe is your objective, buy a 12fpe spring or kit. It does not have to be complicated.

I did the same thing with my TX and at this point I’m happy with it. I bought it because I wanted a tack driver, not a powerhouse.

N/A  Predom Lucznik Holster is indeed original Polish military issue?

Dear SepticDeath,

Thanks for the link to the holster on ebay. If you subtract the $35 from my purchase price the buy looks even better. The English collectors on the Airgunbbs site gave a detailed post about military stamping on the holster which is very interesting. As an airgun (AG) collector the example of a Predom Lucznik (PL) air pistol I plan to obtain would be a cased set (Picture Attached). In the meantime, the shooter grade PL suffices until the case set becomes available. I monitor several websites/auction houses on a daily basis searching treasured AG collectibles.

Sometimes holsters really matter such as my Hy-score holster, which I bought because the "Encyclopedia of Spring Air Pistols" stated they are rare. Conversely, the PL holster is very common, and just a great accessory to own with this AG, as you rightly pointed out. It's nice when we get something extra. It's sort of like the Airgun Nation website that I joined because Google showed me a rare model 700 Hy-score for sale and I made some new friends as well.

Again, thank you for posting the link - your kindness is much appreciated.

Kindest Regards,
Randy

Hunting Scars

I'm sure you have those stories where only you know what happened. Well, here is one from an attempted squirrel wacking some time ago at my parent's house. I don't remember how long ago (probably last year), but I was very cold morning. It was so cold I pulled the shot while sitting on the ground inside the doorway pointing up to a squirrel sitting directly above the scar on a dog eared fence. Gun is a Daystate Huntsman classic .177 16FPE that shoots ZAN 10gr. slugs like a laser. Squirrel high tailed it out of there on impact, but I'm sure I got him two or three weeks later, as I don't let these things go. Happened to walk by this fence post while helping in the yard today, and remembered the day that squirrel narrowly escaped death. No one else would have any context on this fence scar by looking at it.

Trip planning, Airgun Retail Stores.

I don’t know about any airgun retailers on that route, but I had a great night in Pahrump about ten years ago. Got lucky on the floor, and then got lucky on another floor;; I used to tool around Nevada a lot in my drinking days. Lost more money in Elko than I’ve spent on my whole airgun collection.

Hatsan  So I drank the kool-aid (or was it Jet fuel?) and found the perfect plinker

With the mods I mentioned the shot string starts at 260 bars and ends at about 140 bars.
If you do not have enough hammer spring force your shot string will start at a lower pressure, under the 250 bar maximum.
Yes that was my intent since I usually fill from a scuba tank. Convenient filling and hopefully longer valve stem life.

Airgun Technologies  Vulcan 3 / .22 - 700 pushing up Velocity for 34 gr. Slugs

Usually I start with speeds on high 800"s and start shooting groups. Increase speeds until the group fights up. If your LONG ranging you may have to " finesse" for accuracy. I agree with accuracy is what your after. Although, you have to deliver the round on target.
