Does anyone have hands on experience sizing pellets for ST barrels? Wondering if FX's smooth bore is kind of 'auto-sizing' pellets anyway as they are pushed into the chamber by the probe.

Sorry for this post, guys. Its not 'advancing the airgun community' in any way. I just want to draw from the collective wisdom and decide the right thing to do in this situation. I own a rental property in Cleveland, OH. The property manager wrote a report today that "someone shot a BB through...

This more of a theoretical question, but really, what's wrong with a perfectly round ball as a projectile? The weight seem to be quite respectable, e.g. in .22 its around 15-16gr, and making balls on the industrial scale also ought to be less tricky than a diablo shape. I understand that the...

I've been experimented with lubing pellets for my FX Indy .22 (purchased fall 2014). I applied a very small amount of frog lube (basically putting a little lube on a small piece of cloth and placing it in a small ziploc bag along with a handful of pellets, and then kind of massaging the mix to...

Let's say someone is a really poor shot (seeing some of the groups by members here, appears to be true in my case). That someone buys a descent PCP and would like to know what the *gun* is capable of. How would one remove him/herself from the equation leaving only things inherent to the...

What size o-ring do I need for the .22 FX Indy breech? I feel a puff of air on my face with each shot (when mag is out). Interestingly, it's been the case from day 1. Crony still shows fairly consistent strings, but I figure what the heck, changing the o-ring after a year of light use cant hurt...

I guess the title says it. Can someone shed light on why there would be a horizontal component to POI shift when switching from one pellet type to another? I see this quite often - consistent groups, identical everything (scope/zero/gun/rest/bench, settings, etc), and still, some pellet types...

Does anyone know what a typical eastern gray squirrel population density might be in a fairly densely populated, but still considered suburban environment (8000sq Ft lots with plenty of little parks around)? Another question: Is it possible to damage the local population by just picking them...

I suspect some of you guys may have seen this effect, but I thought I'd share some measurements that seem to be shaping up into a hard to ignore pattern. Please confirm or refute if you have an opinion/data. So, I got a new tin of pellets (14.35) to try out on my .22 FX Indy. As usual, I first...

I am curious about using those pellets at low power settings with my FX Indy .22 at short ranges (<50y). If you've tried them with an ST barrel - could you please share your thoughts? I know the standard answer - buy and try on your gun, but as always, I'd rather not waste time and save a few...

Its hard to imagine someone doing all this research, but here it is, enjoy. http://www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=3667 Anyone used frog lube?

I guess this feedback is for all ammo manufacturers. We are well into 21st century. Lead is on its way out never to return. We need a quality non-toxic pellet that can compete with JSBs and H&Ns. The market for a pellet that would do well with moderns PCPs appears to be up for grabs. What's...

I have a friend named Ashley, who is into PBs. He took me to the rifle range in Kenmore, WA, where I wanted to test my .22 Indy at 50 yards with different pellets. He brought his 338 Lapua. When shot by him, with me standing 10ft behind, it sent such shock waves through my rib cage that I think...

Do you know of a study that examines the effect of the wind on the vertical component of POI? The tailwind/headwind/side-to-side aspects are intuitively understandable, more or less - but are there other, less obvious effects of the wind to be aware of at longer ranges? One thing that comes to...

Was re-watching AOA EBR 2014, and saw a fragment of a curious looking gun. You guys know what it is? You can see it for a fraction of a second at exactly 7:30 in this video. It has a shiny breach and an exposed probe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHp3Ku36iYY

There are many risks involved in innovation, no doubt. In tech, we figured out a way to somewhat minimize the "demand risk" by using crowd funding campaigns. Not only its a way to raise the capital, but also a great method to market and get customer feedback. Wondering if the same concept could...

Not sure if all of you guys who own Indy/Independence saw it, but AoA put together an awesome vid, where Steve takes a deep dive into the pump disassembly. http://airgunnation.dev/topic/fx-indy-pump-maintenence/#post-20844 At over an hour long - the process is a bit more involved than you'd...

Does anyone have experience with lead free (tin) pellets shooting through ST barrel? Specifically, those: http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/Dynamic%20Pellets/Dynamic%20Pellets.html#TM2 http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/Dynamic%20Pellets/Dynamic%20Pellets.html#PCP2...

I have a few tins of JSBs and H&N in .22 cal. I "think" when I was buying from PA (a while back, checked out as a guest), I ordered them in 5.52 head size, but not so sure, esp about H&N barracudas, which are available in both 5.52 and 5.53 on the PA site currently. Tins just have 5.5mm printed...

So, I've got this little orchard in my backyard with cherry, plum and apple trees. In the past, here is how the harvest was distributed: Cherries: 95% - Squirrels, 4% Native Birds, 1% my kids (homo sapiens) Apples: 50% - Squirrels, 25% - insects, 25% my family Plums: 25% Squirrels, 25% Compost...
