    That sounds like the reasonable and sane thing to do. =)

    Airgun Technologies Testing slugs with the VULCAN 3 HP .30

    thanks, i have no way to test it, so it might all be just glitches. got even higher numbers on a few shots recently...so maybe the chronograph is junk.

    Taipan The Saharan Mutant

    this is interesting. and let me state, this is not in any way a judgement, but i am really curious what the appeal to this color is? what are the associations?

    Airgun Technologies Vulcan 3 HP .25 max fpe?

    would you please explain how you do that, i have no reg. tester and so far have been flying pretty bling with it, and still am trying to find a reasonable tune for the ammo i want to use. sorry to read, that you are still struggling with the rifle. i do not think anything i can say would be...

    1st time slug casting went very well and was fun too.

    thanks, i've been trying to inform myself about casting routines and what to watch out for and also what causes what problems, so it was too much of an trial and error process for myself. with the hollowpoints i was actually quite surprized that they dropped so easy. i was expecting worse. for...

    Airgun Technologies Testing slugs with the VULCAN 3 HP .30

    casted slugs for the first time. i've used a recommended NOE boattail and ended up with 66.6gr. they fit tightly, so cocking is a bit harder than usual, but i got much better results power-wise, but not i have to tune the gun properly for these. besides getting my ears ringing (supersonic!) i...

    why oh why, do i think that will also make all the 'made in 'merica' items more pricey?
