Dumb question....what's the slowest you can shoot the JSB 10.34 Heavy pellets?

Have not tried, but should be able to go below 720 FPS, which would be UK sub-12 power level

Thanks for the accuracy info on the DW.

Soren, do you have a sense of whether the DW has shorter or longer lock time (i.e., firing cycle) than the RW for comparable barrel lengths? I'm not a steady aimer and my accuracy suffers when there is a longer time between trigger pull and pellet exiting the muzzle (I learned this from comparing shorter and longer barrels on my CO2 gun). So I would like to get a Daystate electronic triggered gun, which have short lock times. But I can't find out whether the lock time is longer or shorter on the DW compared to the RW and Pulsar. What do you think?

From my experience there is no difference in the trigger lock time between the RW and the DW

JSB is coming with .177 slugs in 10.03 gr and 13.43 gr

Just got my die set from GMI today and will now be able to swage .177 slugs in 10 gr and 13 gr as well



Initial testing tomorrow afternoon

Very interesting setup. Will be watching for results. Thanks for posting.

At my private range this afternoon after work to do a little testing with the H&N Baracuda Match 10.65 gr 



It was pretty windy, so I kept it at 50 yards - Velocity 845 FPS 



The glare in the iPad screen connected to my WIFI camera, I will fix

Very good shooting. Thanks for sharing. Were these staged slugs, if so, how about a video on the process of swaging. Thanks

The 50 yards shooting was with H&N Baracuda Match 10.65 gr !

And Happy you should be shooting 10.65gr pellets @ 50 yds in windy conditions with that type of Grouping,' WOW'. The 845 fps is also an eye opener as I would have expected more in the 900+ range? Just goes to show when tuning keep an open mind to all the possibilities!



Thanks for sharing
