I am intrigued by the folks knurling or canneluring slugs. Is it THE solution for a better all-around fit to most barrels rather than specific diameter slugs? I have been disappointed in my attempts to try .22 and .25 slugs - I never seem to have the right size and they shoot like open-choke...

Polishing is done with a nylon bore brush with a heavy duty paper towel and MOTHERS Mag & Aluminum Polish. Does a great job smoothing, but won't take out deeper scratches or the gouges.

You probably won't see the cross scratches with a pellet push. The longitudinal ones show up as scoring lines on the pellets. I don't think that it's going to get any better. I will have to relook at the crown to see if anything can be done for it. The ring gouges are pretty smooth now, so the...

I typically don't clean, but clearly there is embedded lead, even after polishing. I will have to rethink the cleaning routine. This was after a few tins of AEA pellets.

For comparison, here is the 22 L-W Skout barrel - I only ran a dry patch after shooting 2-3 tins. Sorry for the focus issues - the borescope has a learning process. Throat/leade Polished rear end (the roughness on the bottom/right is the borescope mirror setup). Starting to see some...

Here's mine with the borescope (just got the borescope today, so working on figuring out the focus).: Ring gouges in throat/leade that I polished quite a bit already. Polished bore in rear. Note the highly polished is the land, the groves are pretty rough even after polishing. Crown - yes...

So, curosity got the better of me. I pulled the barrel off my Skout to see how the SubMOA .30 was doing from a cleaning standpoint. There was not too much leading in most of the bore. I re-ran some polishing patches through with a longer cleaning rod. I could not feel the choke area with the...

Nate, Did yours have a choke?

I tried some additional groups tonight with a dwell of 14ms (the lowest that it would fire). I set the LP at 170-ish, the HP around 1500. I could see the pellets spiraling to the target, some even doing a "left turn" at the target. I had two groups that were decent at about 1", a really good...

I recently received my SubMOA barrel for my new Skout EVO and I am also very disappointed in it's performance so far. In looking at the barrel, the throat/transition to the rifling was so rough, it had deep ring gouges in it. I polished most of this out of the barrel, but you could still feel...

Thank you for the tuning instructions. These are super helpful. What does the dwell actually do? Once you achieve your target velocity, why would you want to raise the dwell from 16? Wouldn't a higher dwell just be wasteful of the Air and also negatively "blow" air after the shot? Thanks...

A warning for folks using a radar chronograph, is that these units measure the velocity a few feet/yards out in front of the rifle. Whereas the air chrony measures it right at the muzzle, so there may be a difference between the two, with the Air Chrony being higher. Hopefully at the World's...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. My goal was just to monitor the performance, rather than adjust during the match - to know if something went wrong. I like the FX's size and form factor, but they are often too flakey and don't work. Looks like the Garmin seems to work well for most folks -...

I’m looking for opinions on the best chronograph for benchrest shooting. I used an FX Ballistic Chrony at the Pyramyd Benchrest Finals, but it didn’t work well—it picked up other shooters’ shots, missed mine, and then locked up my phone app. I could have adjusted the sensitivity, but I didn’t...

Yes, definitely frustrated with the shift. It seems to continually wander over time, which is why I think something is going on with the erector tube/spring. If it was a Sightron, I probably would have the problem solved by now (or a replacement scope). Although it ranges really well, I am...

Just a PSA to folks thinking about getting a March scope. If you need service/repairs, you will have to ship it back to Japan on your own nickel. For my March High Master 10-60x56, it is going to be $140 with only about 1/2 the insurance needed to replace it. I understand the turn-around is 2...

Lewis and others, thank you for the tuning suggestions - it is really helpful in getting my new Evo setup. Can anyone explain how the valving system works? Is the LP the equivalent of a hammer weight? What does the dwell do? I have my dwell set to 12 and it bumping it up really didn't seem...
