    Skout .25 Barrels, And Slug Selection.

    Like @Motorhead said, "slugs built for the guns". I doubt 2 tins will be enough. I've shot lots of these slugs. That high BC .2475" slug was made for the Evo .25 platform. I thought the Evo guns were setup for this slug out of the box. Might be good to call Skout.

    N/A Average Distance of your shooting sessions?

    I would be in these two guys camp. Shooting for fun and pushing the limits. Average distance would be 300 - 500 yards is what blows my skirt up. I do get the short range pellets use though. The term air gun is misleading to me. The manufactures have done a great job making "pellet guns"...

    Kalibrgun PCP Slug Gun- True effective range with slugs could be farther than we think.

    I was always shooting pellets at 100 about 7-8 years ago. Once I started shooting slugs, it was a lot more challenging to keep pushing the range. I've been pleasantly surprised just how well this setup works actually. No more mod's. for this gun, just trigger time now. Shot a couple sub MOA...

    Kalibrgun PCP Slug Gun- True effective range with slugs could be farther than we think.

    Here's a paper target I shot at 300 yards with 5 - 5 shot groups on it. Conditions were very light wind. This is the only target I shot to confirm that my slug-gun and slug were fairly consistent to at least 300 yards. With a high BC 50gr. - .25 cal. slug I make and a custom slug gun I've...

    600yds today

    Looks like 14 hits on a 2' square. That's a large target even at 600. My only question is out of how many shots fired?

    How to Use a Corbin S Press - A Thread Geared Toward Beginners

    You got some shooting in...(y) Rather rewarding to shoot slugs you make, isn't it? "Air test" no lead. Just checking that the punch, die, and HP extractor pin don't collide. @ Ca_Varminter - has a good explanation of how to go for the lightest weights safely. 3 years ago someone sent me...

    How to Use a Corbin S Press - A Thread Geared Toward Beginners

    Bingo... The punch will go past the bleed hole as it begins crushing into the ojive. Most likely making the punch flash after that. I always slowly air test to be sure nothing is going to hit. Especially since my older punches don't even have limit lines.

    How to Use a Corbin S Press - A Thread Geared Toward Beginners

    So you decided to get a press. Good for you.(y) 7+ years of using this equipment has shown me a few things. I would suggest making small ( 5 - 15 ) batches of slugs in about 1-2 grain weights for a .357. 1/2 gr. increments for smaller calibers. Then test fire them. Lots of slugs won't shoot...

    Hollowpoint Skiving/Serration on Slugs

    That someone is me. I wrote that article. You asked if someone had "firsthand experience trying something like this?" Well I thought I did. Thanks for schooling me about expansion. By the way a 12 oz. can of water (Hillbilly test) is about as close to a pigeon or squirrel as it gets. Very close...

    Hollowpoint Skiving/Serration on Slugs

    I don't think beating on a precision projectile with a hammer and tool is the way to go. But, what do I know. Here's a photo of the results of a slug that is exactly the same weather for a target or fragmenting/hunting. Clearly long range accuracy and consistency aren't a problem.

    Comparing a few Poppet Valves

    Looking forward to what info. you might share about the Pilot Valve design. You gave a very nice description so far. I want to use that type of valve in my next build. Here's the style Balance valve I made for a Cricket that can get a .25 cal. 50.4 gr. slug going 950 FPS @ 135 bar reg...

    Comparing a few Poppet Valves

    Great info. !!! I've been using a balance valve in a custom gun with surprisingly good results for about 1.5 years now. Took a bit of time to get things right. Now that I'm in the "Goldilocks zone" with it. Just trigger time now. More velocity and power. Less cocking force, less plenum...

    Skout Sniper Slug - Official Release

    Data shot from my gun doesn't actually show a 17% difference in BC. Just for a reference here. Due to crappy weather looks like there will be an in the wind test tomorrow out to 500+ yards. :) Even at 100,200,and 300 yards the chronys theoretical data below shows decent velocity and Ft Lbs...

    FX True Ballistic Chronograph - Testing & Results

    I've been using one of these for comparing different slugs BC and velocity consistency. Great little unit. Very happy with it. Reads every shot even in the dark. Don't assume that it reads at multiple yardages though. It takes two readings, near the muzzle and somewhere inside of 33 yards and...
