Close to 60 years ago I occasionally got to go "coon hunting" with my uncle near the town of Burlington Kansas. The mothers hated it, the kids (including me) loved it. My uncle tried to be sure everybody had a flashlight but only he or another uncle had a firearm (and nobody had a pellet gun)...

I traced a period of lower accuracy than expected in my most dependable gun, my P35-22, to loose bolts holding the action to the stock. I was a bit surprised that made a difference. The moderator I use in my P35s go inside the shroud and are 3D printed. But I have some with different sized...

I agree ease of changing the regulator is a big advantage for the Avenger. It seems like the hammer spring has a pretty short range of adjustability, however. It is also a bit buried and thus a bit difficult to get to. But the key reason my original Avenger in 25 sits in the storage drawer...

As with many things, there are advantages of doing the same thing different ways. I have been reluctant to risk even my inexpensive chronographs trying to measure bc. I can shoot within their window essentially 100% of the time with a sighted in gun and I can see the display in my target scope...

My Yong Heng will be 4 years old in a few days and works great. But I only refill my 45 minute bottle about once a month. I also have used Nuvair oil in it from day one. You are filling bottles a lot more often, perhaps that explains why you had such negative experience. I recently got a GX...

I admit I can get anal about gauges not reading the true measure. I like my BMW, for instance, but BMW purposely has the speedometer programmed to read 5 km/hr faster than the car is going. I activiated a little digital speed indicator that the M cars come with and was able to remove the...

I've ordered some plastic fencing with 8mm holes. I want to try shaking the mulch with pellets in it over the fencing. What doesn't go through goes back in the trap. What goes through goes into an old pan over a burner of my grill. The small pieces of mulch will come to the top and get...

A few pictures of a couple of my traps. The older one is 6 inches deep, the new one is a fraction of an inch deeper. Older one is mostly 1/2 inch plywood, newer one is mostly 1/4 inch plywood. The front of both has 1/8 th thick steel covering the wood of the box. The older one has taken...

Rechargeable battery that lasts a long time. Never misses a shot. At least accurate enough for tuning. I think this is a case where cheaper is better.

I only have one 177, a P35. It likes H&N Baracuda Match pellets and H&N Baracuda FT pellets. It seems to shoot NSA 12.5 grain slugs decently too but I need to do more testing on them and probably increase the velocity. I shoot the FTs at about 915 fps and the Match at about 885 fps. The...

My Prod is good for, at most, 30 shots. But it is very short and light and nicely accurate. My P35-22 is more accurate and significantly more powerful and will easily give 40 regulated shots on a fill. The Stoeger bullshark is almost exactly the same gun. I think most underappreciate how...

If I couldn't find an accurate JSB pellet I would try some H&N. H&N Baracuda Match are more consistent in head size and weight than the JSBs I've measured. But I do not know any reliable way to predict what a gun will like. I've shot 200s on the 30 yard challenge match with 22 caliber H&N...

...CS2 with the gun still in the Caldwell Rock BR rest recently just to see if it would work. Worked great. As I see it: Bottle fill advantages: * Fast. Takes seconds. * Nearly silent * Bottle is very portable but kind of big at the shooting bench and takes up some space in the vehicle. *...

I've had one commercial pellet trap the kids got for me, a Crosman, and it got shot up pretty quickly. All the rest I made. I still have one made from an old electrical box I found in my shed. It works but is not ideal. My other two are the same idea but one is made of 3/4 plywood and the...

I tried filling with my P35-22 still in the rest this morning. The little CS2 and battery are so compact nothing had to move. Voltage after the fill was 18.94. From what I read a low 18V battery is 15V. Under voltage protection kicks in at about 12.5V. I ordered a volt meter so I can...

I tried to get some data on 25 caliber today but it did not go great. I was using my Avenger. I degassed it and set the regulator to about 800 psi. It still shot too fast, everything went through. The lowest velocity I got on 25.4 grain FX was 558 fps. That is below what did not go through...

I filled my Avenger from zero to about 4100 psi using the 8 amp hr battery. I stopped before 300 bar because the compressor seemed to slow down slightly. It is still testing at 19.65 V so it is not badly discharged, should show 3 bars, but if I push the check battery button it flashes instead...

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been using a 6 ah battery and two gun fills only dropped it to three bars. But the battery level indicator started flashing so I'm not sure if it doesn't like this load or if it might not have been in great shape. I'll try a different battery, probably a 8 amp...

I've had a Yong Heng about 4 years and a retired firemans bottle almost as long. The combination works great. I run the Yong Heng about once a month to refill the bottle. Takes half an hour or less. I have an extra moisture filter on the YH but the color changing dessicant rarely changes...

That's a great looking stock. I've made a few but none specifically for benchrest. I've glass bedded PB stocks but never an air rifle stock. Glass bedding is sometimes only done on the recoil lug area and the purpose is to get good solid and uniform contact of the action and possibly the...
