RAW REPORT

[Rey]

It was the 44gr pellets. I ended up with 2 different head sizes. 7.65 and 7.66. 90 percent of the pellets out of the batch sorted yesterday was 7.65. I will run some tests through these pellets and see what happens next week. But I am guessing pellets tolerance in these guns are close enough where it might not matter. We will find out. Does it matter with the .30 cal? We shall find out on this hm1000x.

 

[Imold]

Your killing me Rey hahaha, good information tho. I only plan to shoot JSB 44s in mine when I get it so this is all good to know.

 

[Imold]

Hynzie you need to get a pic up of the wildcat in the case. I already know what the HMx looks like in the 54” case.

 

[Hynzie]

"Imold"I think we all need to get our pellet count up and I mean pellet TIN counts up hahaha.

I know it is not one of my RAWs but my Air Arms S510 Ultimate Sporter has 14,000 rds through it since Sept 2016.

My RAWs are new to me so it will be a while before I have big shot counts on them.

 

[Hynzie]

i did a little sorting and organizing today 136 tins of pellets plus 4 boxes of special slugs 15 of them are daisy gamo and crosman all the others are top end 31 tins of jsb 30 cal half 44s and 50s ,,22 tins of polymag 30s,,,thats over 50 tins in 30 cal the rest are mark 2s and everything else a big assortment of h and n

 

[Imold]

So what does it mean when someone orders 4 tins of pellets for a rifle they don’t have Hmmmmmmm.

 

[Imold]

I found this HMx .30 for a fair price minus scope. Used very little and looks like he received it last December so it should be the latest design and power.

 

[Hynzie]

well imold that means ur ordering 30 cal pellets,,, cause your gonna buy the nice 30 cal one in the pic nice grain go for it for $400 u can get the lrt stock u want and do whateva with the walnut

 

[Imold]

The Walnut does look nice and I do like the Thumbhole stock and I can always order a LRT stock later or even get lucky and score a used one.

 

[Imold]

Here is a 100 yard group with it he sent me.

 

[terrymc]

Nice stuff congrats Imold

 

[Imold]

I’m trying to talk myself into buying it now and I’m about 95% sure I’m going to get it but just sent him a few more questions I needed answered and then I’ll make up my mind on the remaining 5%..

 

[crgabel]

Good luck with your decision Jim.

[Salticon]

"Imold"Here is a 100 yard group with it he sent me.

think i know this gun..

 

[crgabel]

Does anyone leave their magazines loaded when not shooting for a few days? I don't as I don't want to stress the spring in the magazine. Am I nuts??

 

[terrymc]

Imold, 

Good luck with the decision it can be tough but so far I have good luck with the used air rifles I have bought.


ON THAT NOTE, I made a discovery about the .22 HM1000x today.
To build the suspense I will say last week I only had a chance to shoot in a big wind storm just before some rain came in.
I was surprised by how well it was doing in the heavy winds much better than I am used to seeing in a .22.
So I had a theory.
I just confirmed that theory this morning and am very happy about it.

This RAW has a polygonal barrel! See the flats on the pellet instead of swaging from a cut barrel.

MAN this is just icing on the cake! It is the one regret I had about not buying a gun direct is
I wanted a polygonal to help with the wind out at Rio Salado.
Not a problem got it covered.
FANTASTIC SURPRISE!
