    Western Airguns Working to Figure Out the Western Rattler .357

    Agreed thats why i mentioned it..I heard minimum should be 140,if thats the case not sure why they would let it leave manufacturing at 130.I just now watched jim chapman had tuned his rattler at a reg of 160 to shoot the NSA 142gr.basically punched a 3/4 inch hole at 65yds with that set up.Best...

    Western Airguns Working to Figure Out the Western Rattler .357

    Great thread!This will help a lot of people over time i believe.So i have had just about the same exact experience as this guy describes with my Rattler .357.First day out (about 6 months ago) I set up with JSB 81gr pellets as was suggested.First 5 shots to zero at 25 went perfect,second 5 shots...

    Not many its just an extra 120cc.My thought on that was there was no advantage to the 700cc on the .357 because you have to break and reload anyway so just top off at the same time and then you are ready for another full mag.I guess if you were using lower power with light pellets then it might...

    Yeah i think they had the 700cc’s already for the production of the .45 and decided to offer it as an upgrade for the .357 in the meantime.you’ll notice they actually had the 700’s standard on the .357 for the second to last round of production then went back to the 580cc on the current run and...

    Out of curiosity..What is the minimum FPE everyone is comfortable with when going after say white tail or big boar (175lbs+)?I feel like 300-350 will get the job done with good shot placement.Is there really a need for 600-800fpe or is it just more humane and assuring?Heck Keith Warren was...

    Yeah i have the rattler in .357 already and am sticking with that along with my bulldog .357 magnum and dragon claw2 mainly for air bolts.If i was buying my first rattler i would probably go with the .45 but not enough of a change to make the switch from the .357
