Airforce Airforce Texan .308 ready to test.

[357cal]

With weather permitting need to test the .308 Texan because of some changes I have made recently, nothing to outlandish but still hoping to improve its performance. I have made improvements in the past; Goal is 960-970 fps with 150gr with good acracy from 50-300 and beyond without over stressing the pcp. After the testing I will post the results.

That's a gorgeous set up! I'm hoping you hit every goal and every target brother!

I have the results of my testing and was able to achieve the speeds I was aiming for. However, the testing was conducted while tethered, and one of the changes involved using an aftermarket top hat with a stock valve. This caused inconsistency in shots 1-4. The 964 fps was achieved at3300 psi and between 1/2 and 3/4 power wheel with the stock top hat. In the future, I will post 6-8 shot string. 150gr boat tail.

AFter changing the top hat back to stock was able to get 965 fps with 150gr consistently when tethered. Here are over 10 shots but, i found out i forgot to lock down the top of the table . The video was after i locked down the table at 100 yards, 150gr. BARS slugs.
