Airguns are a learning curve..lol I have been getting terrible accuracy with my Chazsel .222 12 twist barrel.. Long story short i got another one... And half 45 grain .222 hitting sideways at 10 yards..Anything heavier 55 grain every slug side ways... I guess you need 7-9 twist..

I got about 50 lbs cast last night.. Getting oven ready for shake and bake powder coatingFeeling the spirit to cast some .510 N.O.E 460 grains today. I reclaimed about 300 lbs of lead 3 years ago...I need to try to use it up....I went way over in buying powder coating too about 13 lbs of it....jeez ill never use it..I usually cast 50lbs at a clip...2 Lee 20 lb production pots and a PID controller.... Shake and bake 25 lbs of slugs powder coating at a time.Water quench out of oven to get them to separate perfectly.. Can post pictures of process if.it may help anyone... If anyone needs .510 slugs I will have lots...I hate x bows...But a turn in luck...My buddy is giving me his KI Boss 405 when the new limbs arrive Wednesday... He is getting a KI Fatal X....Its a blessing... Money in budget for Pennsylvania 22 pcp...Lots of squirrel coyote fox.and few elusive ground hogs...Update I hate crossbows!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh....Just setup my buddies KI Boss 405with UTG 130 BDX scope......Spent a day and had it hit the target perfectly at 120 yards.....not as accurate as Airsaber put pretty good......Anyways bow season starts buddies adjusting scope says it moved inches at 20 yards.....I had it perfect... Told him limbs are probably shot.....seen him today limbs spit....had to make contraption to fire xbow with frayed limbs...his third set of limbs...warranty.. But still unreliable..... Crossbow are effective but disposable....I absolutely love my Airsaber.. It shoots so constantly.. It never breaks... Ahhh I have to go waste my money again on my third crossbow... Wish regulations would change.... Crossbow s are a disposable item sadly.... Airsaber so .much more friendly to use being semi handicap..... My last crossbow I recycled when the limbs broke and no parts available..... Its now a stock for my .510 Texan....My niece was back in the states visiting, from her home in the Philippines. She was just enjoying the country side...deer.fawns..rabbits.. Orchard.. Ect..she said she shot archery and enjoyed it. I didn't have a bow but I did have a Umarex Airsaber... She was excited to try a airbow..Her first shot she hit and lost the arrow...2nd and 3rd bent arrow.. After that all bull eye s at 20 yards. With straight arrow anyway.. She can't wait to go back to the Philippines and tell her friends and country airbows.. Just made me happyI rebuilt the yong heng again.. 5 th time I put new top end piston..She's building pressure to over 300 bar. I can't afford any better compressor s. I'm thankful the yong heng parts are cheap!!! Easy to work on. $12.00 and on the road againBeautiful Day feeling decent thinking about shooting the Airsaber at a 100 yards Today and posting some groups!!!!Hopefully don't loose any arrows....
