    Air in the Face Beeman 1358

    On my FX MkII the bolt probe is recessed into an o ring slot milled into the receiver. I’ve never seen an air rifle without an o ring somewhere on the bolt.

    Copper plated slugs

    They’re being professionally plated from a local shop…still working out cost effectiveness. Field testing in copper plated .25 (shown in pics) and they still have explosive expansion in pigeons. Haven’t field tested nickel plated slugs yet. Advantage is no barrel fouling. Optimal twist rate for...

    Question .. hybrid slugs pellets?

    I only have Impacts but in .25 I’d set my Reg to 145 BAR and tune it to shoot JSB MkII 34 gr @ 880 fps…exact same tune gave 950 fps with the Hybrids and only a 1/2” point of impact difference at 50 yards….definitely a good enough tune for hunting! I zero with the Hybrids @ 50 yards and the JSB...

    Convicted Felon Airgunner

    I was a Correctional Officer for over 11 years…here in Idaho the Attorney General views air guns the same as a firearm as it relates to felons…the law is written anything that expels a projectile - which can be a straw & spitball (absolutely ridiculous!) is a prohibited item for a felon. I would...

    Uh-Oh, Here Comes Trouble! FX Hybrid Slugs in .357 cal

    They need a 1:24 twist @ 930 fps or a 1:26 twist @ 970 fps for sub MOA at 100 yards. Penetration into Clear Ballistics Gel at 100 yards was still only 2”-3”. I killed a mountain of ground squirrels during initial testing a few years ago while developing the correct meplat size and wall...

    Tested The FX Hybrid 30 cal. for Expansion

    If you used Clear Ballstics Gel for your test the bullet industry has found that their inorganic compound (silicon?) lacks any type of moisture content found in true Alphabet org Ordnance Gel. This leads to no moisture available (like there would be when impacting an organic target) in the meplat to...

    Need Help Setting Up My .30 Impact For Coyotes

    That’s Power Plenum Impacts running additional external plenums at the regulator gauge area. M1/8 gained about 24 FPS, never chrony’d the M14 prior to install but am probably gaining an additional 40 FPS with it (that rifle shoots 16 FPS faster than the M1/8 and that rifle gained 24 FPS with the...

    Need Help Setting Up My .30 Impact For Coyotes

    I have two MkII power Plenum Impacts...one with an M14 external plenum and the other with the original M1/8 external plenum. Both are running 57mm hammer springs with the lighter valve springs with Delrin spacers on each end and the tiny rubber ball inside the spring. One has a brass hammer...

    Need Help Setting Up My .30 Impact For Coyotes

    I’ve been testing the new .30 Superior Standard 1:23 Twist (it’s not a 1:26) and shooting the 44.5 gr Hybrids @ 1032 FPS. They almost fragment in Clear Ballistics Gel @ 100 yards and I’m getting MOA or better for accuracy. Reg @ 165 bar, max hammer spring & valve about 3 lines out. It took...

    Fx impact in .357 question

    The .35 Hybrid Liner is being worked on...the 68 gr Hybrid is expanding to 70 cal+ @ 100 yards in Clear Ballistics Gel with a MV of 930 FPS...average penetration was 6” which is about perfect for a body shot on a yote. I got 2 shots at one a couple of months ago but the slug dropped much less...

    .30 cal Hybrid slugs.

    I'm shooting them @ 1030 fps out of both of my Impacts...one has a 29" TJ barrel (1:26 Twist) & the other the new 700mm Superior Standard (1:23 Twist). TJ has hundreds of rounds down it...just got the Superior yesterday and am still seasoning it in. I've gotten MOA down to 880 fps...depends...

    Difference between Nielsen slugs and FX Hybrid slugs?

    Yes! IIRC the specs are 32 grains & .415" long...it's been awhile but the long range .25's will be available next year sometime. A ton of people think slugs are strictly for long range shooting and that's simply not correct...with my design it's all about terminal performance and expansion at...

    FX 30 cal Hybrid will not fit in FX magazine.

    The FX MkII mags have been out for over a year and is what ships with an Impact...it's been that way for a long time as far as I know. The easiest way to tell what mag you have is to just look at the clear cover - the MkII mags have a slot milled into it. The original aluminum Side Shot I have...

    Difference between Nielsen slugs and FX Hybrid slugs?

    I think something that is being missed here is the entire premise of what the FX Hybrid Slugs represent = slugs at normal for caliber pellet weights. This allows for cross platform shooting without changing your tune settings...not to mention expansion that nothing else even comes close too. I...

    FX 30 cal Hybrid will not fit in FX magazine.

    The .30 Cal 44.5 gr Hybrids will only fit the FX Side Shot mags...they will not fit the original Side Shot or factory 'normal' capacity magazines. The slot that is milled into the top plate of the FX Side Shot mag accounts for the additional length that can be loaded into the magazine with...

    Sizing to the largest Caliber being used in a competition. Yes or no??? Explain

    I see the benefit of plugging to the largest caliber for scoring. It simplifies what your choice should be for choosing a caliber and pellet then...whatever gives the best wind resistance since diameter isn't a factor anymore. Taking that into account then the .22 34 gr Jumbo Beasts should win...

    Sizing to the largest Caliber being used in a competition. Yes or no??? Explain

    In archery tournaments lots of guys used the largest diameter arrow shafts they could get to maximize the possibility of hitting a higher scoring ring...the guys shooting 'normal' size arrow shafts didn't get a bump up in score for being close to the next scoring ring. With that being said do...

    Sizing to the largest Caliber being used in a competition. Yes or no??? Explain

    No. That's handicapping just like if you were bowling against someone with a higher average. A miss is a miss is a miss...you don't have your projectile automatically get larger if it's going to miss whatever game animal you're shooting at. That's where a shooter needs to be very...
