    Anyone ever try something like this?

    Ideally, a sizer will make all the pellets the same size, round out the skirts and make the pellets more uniform (except weight). When manufactured, the pellet's skirts are usually larger in diameter than the head by about 0.010 inch. This, I'm assuming is to ensure a good seal in the barrel...

    Most Accurate Moderator

    At the range yesterday, I was experimenting with different moderators and slugs on my .22 cal M3. Just for giggles, I removed the mod to see if it shot better. NOT! While the POI changed, the group size expanded quite a bit. I assume the weight of the mod dampens the barrel vibration to some...

    Benjamin Don't buy Benjamin Marauders on Amazon

    Amazon is getting the reputation of passing on remanufactured or return goods. Ya gotta wonder sometimes why the prices are so cheap.

    FX FX King Stinks

    Back to the basics, other than eye candy, what good are the GRS stocks? I had one on an Anschutz rimfire and other than the extra weight, it did not help with shooting accuracy. So the stock has an adjustable cheekpiece and buttplate: so do others.

    I also cover the cardboard with duct tape which holds things together longer.

    N/A Low powered guns

    I love shooting my Air Arms HFT 500. It's only 12 fpe, but it's probably my most accurate rifle up to 25 yards.

    RAW TM1000x .177 moderators

    I have a .177 HM1000x coming from Martin with a bare barrel. I plan to start with a Donny Tatsu 30 cal moderator. Noise is not a big issue with me, but accuracy is. I have several other Donny moderators that I can try, but if necessary, I will shoot it with no moderator. I plan to shoot 100...
