Interesting. It says no brush but it quite literally shows a brush in the picture.
I'll let you know tomorrow. I noticed that. but, i noticed that same picture used on several size options. Look at the Address bar, the option is a unique item number. So it's most likely just lazy programming
If the gap to gain access into breech end of barrel is a tad tight, YES shortening the drop weight a bit is required. ONLY TRIM IT Minimally as you still need enough weight to pull the guide string down the bore
Yes, tested both as high as 910 and as low as 855[
Yeah, it would be a bummer to just have those sitting around, so I understand you're predicament.
Honestly the MRD do pretty well. I was right at 12fpe at 100 at the indoor range the other day. They held tight. MRD's did a good job. I just need to find a heavier slug that holds as well as the 10.03.. i'm still in disbelief at how good those things are doing at longer range. I figured they'd fall apart, NOT EVEN CLOSE.. pinpoint at 80, slightly larger than the tip of my thumb at 100. I'd love a 13-15 that could do that.
You're tried the JSB KO 13.43gr right? They don't expand at all, but they are the cream of the crop when it comes to accurate, reliable slugs in .177 in mid weights.
They're not bad. but my current setup is pushing them no faster than 900 max. the 10.03s give me one small hole at 50.. the 13.43 give me a quarter at 50. I might order an Altaros Reg setup for 33- 36 fpe and matched to a valve. I'll need to look up what the Huma Reg on the stock Katran L can do before i push it further. i'm at 115 up from 90. I imagine if i push the stock reg any further i'll have to do some Valve tuning as well
At that point, you might as well just whay you're using, if you're not gonna try to shoot beyond ninety yards.
I use slugs beyond 90.. I'm saying i wouldn't mind if i could find a setting that extends the reliable accuracy of the 13.4 cylindrical monsters to 85. I have a few spots for them. the MRD and KO.s i'm fine with at range. Just have A LOT of the monsters. Be nice to use them. Be more efficient? Efficiency is fine. I'm saying I dont know what the Standard Katran L Pressure range is. UA, and AMaks made it out that "it really should be sent in to be adjusted". I assume when i'm told that there has to be some serious reason, like the gun has a really delicate balance between the valve and reg. Or if the Standard Reg is only meant to operate between 90-125-130? If they're just attempting to get service fees out of me then i'm comfortable doing it myself. It is a pain constantly adjusting. Degas, Pull tube, Pull reg, refill, repeat. It's not so serious that i'm going to go nuts if i can't find a heavier slug that performs like the KO's. Just definitely wouldn't mind it.
