I do have chronographs. I've heard of some rare anomalies where people are getting accurate shots with overpowered settings. So I'll try to see how they shoot hot before I turn them down.

Can you ask your friend what he did to get it to shoot so well? I just got one and there is very little info on how to tune these. Thanks.

Easy, take notes because I'm about to give you a special special sauce....
Get the red power spring if you don't already have one, (a lot of 357's have the grey spring which is horrible). Then get you two 14 gauge washers (.075" thick) and one 18 gauge (.042" thick), with 5/16" inner diam, and 1" outer diam..... and put these washers in front of the power spring when assembling the spring back in. Then turn your reg up to 205 bar. Buy you some Griffin 95 grain flat base slugs and fly those babies at 920 fps with masterclass precision.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST SETUP for the 357 Pro. Nothing will touch this. 180FPE and accuracy beyond anything in its class. Beats out my $2000 guns 50-80 yards. That's just how good this slug and tune is for this gun.

Fantastic! I've got 300 of those slugs so I'm on it. I appreciate the guidance. Is the red spring harder sprung than the gray spring?Easy, take notes because I'm about to give you a special special sauce....

It's longer which makes a huge difference.
The grey spring will make 130fpe and valve lock occasionally at stock reg setting.
The red spring will make 155fpe at stock reg.
The red spring with washers will make 180-200fpe at 200-210 reg depending on the slug style.

I first bought the AEA .30 HP semi auto carbine, then the Pro challenger. 30 and now the Huben .25 cal k1. My question is about the Pro .30, I shot it only 5 times. Hadn't even sighted it in before the police showed up at my house, mind you private property with over 500 ft in every direction. Enough room to shoot any types of real rifles. Did you put a silencer on yours, and if so what was the difference
plus what rounds work the best in this platform, I'll try the NSA .303 61.5's.Upvote 0
Hahaha cops. It’s loud as heck that my ear was ringing. So much so that I put the Donny fl emperor on it. NOW the hit of the 80fr slug is what’s loud haha. I use avs slugs, 80gr about 1050fps, love it. Love it!I first bought the AEA .30 HP semi auto carbine, then the Pro challenger. 30 and now the Huben .25 cal k1.

Where I live people shoot .30-06 and similar rifles on their farms pretty much every day. Still I like to be polite to my neighbors.
I've only shot the Pro 30 a few times without a DonnyFL Ronin attached to it. Otherwise it's louder than rimfire. It still makes some noise but it sounds more like using some weird pneumatic tool than shooting a gun now.
As for ammo I'm still using those NSA 303 61.5 and haven't really found a reason to experiment much beyond that.

Facts. I was shooting 44.75gr JSB at 1077 fps out of my stock gauntlet 2sl 30. That being said I only got 2 clips before having to refill.

Hey do you know if I can do the same thing with my gauntlet 2sl 30 cal.Easy, take notes because I'm about to give you a special special sauce....

I found the 47.2 .303 NSA's shot better out of my Terminator. I need to try the 61.5 slugs I missed them some way. It is a must to shoot the .303 caliber the .300 shot all over the place. What I am currently shooting and frankly is the best projectile I have shot out of my rifle is the FX 50.2 gr pellet. A little under powered compared to your Challengers I get 108 ft lb. I too have bushed my hammer spring and have sets for my different AEA's . I have not yet bushed the Terminator. I'm pretty comfortable with what I have there. Probably looking at .357 or .458 next.

Shooting the 47.2's at 970 fps. Shot ok but I'm shooting 50.2 FX Pellets with much better accuracy. I found with slugs past 55 gr the accuracy started getting worse. I'm not sure if it is twist or what but for me 50 gr seemed to be what it liked. I have not tried the 60.5. I have a mold for 55 gr slugs and they are not very accurate. Groups are twice the size of NSA's 47 gr slugs.
