    Casting ammo from lead-acid batteries?

    That sounds like the reasonable and sane thing to do. =)

    Airgun Technologies Testing slugs with the VULCAN 3 HP .30

    thanks, i have no way to test it, so it might all be just glitches. got even higher numbers on a few shots recently...so maybe the chronograph is junk.

    Taipan The Saharan Mutant

    this is interesting. and let me state, this is not in any way a judgement, but i am really curious what the appeal to this color is? what are the associations?

    Airgun Technologies Vulcan 3 HP .25 max fpe?

    would you please explain how you do that, i have no reg. tester and so far have been flying pretty bling with it, and still am trying to find a reasonable tune for the ammo i want to use. sorry to read, that you are still struggling with the rifle. i do not think anything i can say would be...

    1st time slug casting went very well and was fun too.

    thanks, i've been trying to inform myself about casting routines and what to watch out for and also what causes what problems, so it was too much of an trial and error process for myself. with the hollowpoints i was actually quite surprized that they dropped so easy. i was expecting worse. for...

    1st time slug casting went very well and was fun too.

    hi @sonnysan, thanks for the comment and tip. yes, i am aware of the 'finned' projectile, i realized too late that there was tiny lead splinter in between the molds sealing surface and so the whole lot of 8 slugs were lost. i later sorted them out, but wanted to show my true results. i've not...

    Snowpeak Preordered my MAX1

    i think that is literally TOO kind of Wes. the fault lies somewhere else...

    1st time slug casting went very well and was fun too.

    when sized to .252 with the MP sizer they are a perfect fit for the mag. but i have just shot one mag for testing 'the feel', without any measures and only with a red dot on 15-20m distance with a stock, seemed similar than my results with other projectiles, but i will make better tests in the...

    Airgun Technologies Testing slugs with the VULCAN 3 HP .30

    casted slugs for the first time. i've used a recommended NOE boattail and ended up with 66.6gr. they fit tightly, so cocking is a bit harder than usual, but i got much better results power-wise, but not i have to tune the gun properly for these. besides getting my ears ringing (supersonic!) i...

    1st time slug casting went very well and was fun too.

    MP MOLDS .253 50gr. vers.3 (not sized yet) for HUBEN GK1. NOE MOULDS: .253 46.4gr boattail deep hollowpoint (made shallow HP as well) also for GK1. NOE MOULDS: .302 66.6grn (made these for my VULCAN3HP and got good results powerwise, but still have to tune in. as i shot them the first time...

    Snowpeak Preordered my MAX1

    why oh why, do i think that will also make all the 'made in 'merica' items more pricey?

    Snowpeak New SPA offerings has me stoked!

    does any one recall how long it took (and still takes) for snowpeak to bring the long announced MAX1 to those interested in it, since it was announced?

    Snowpeak M60B leak

    it was similar for me, it was fine in the beginning. but then in my case there were sharp edges that slowly destroyed the seal. and i actually have taken the bottle of now and then to work on the gun. hope you will find a fix.

    Snowpeak M60B leak

    yeah, that is annoying. if you get the bottle adapter from Wes, make sure (if that is possible) that you get one with a build in check valve, so you can take off the bottle under pressure, if you need to. the one i got send all the way here was missing that + the original foster fitting on it...

    Snowpeak M60B leak

    i had severe issues with that as well. including a deep and sharp cut in the o-ring ridge. after polishing all the sharp edges down. it was still leaking. i have tried many things to mitigate it, like extra seals on the bottom of the threads and adding extra (thin) o-rings in the original...
