Although I understand different rifles handle different pellets differently. But are jsb diabolo exact heavy .22 usually the best?

anybody know who makes sig pellets ?

Yep…VC. Ol’ Victor Charlie. Or, in the words of the world-renowned varmint hunter Carl Spackler, Varmint Cong.

I wish I had a really interesting story about this one. You know…”I had the wind in my face and if I kept to the shadows…” followed by my all-time favorite gun writer line, “I was 700 yards away…there was no way I could get any closer”.

But I don’t.

What really happened was I was out re-zeroing my Sniper Sahara when the Minister of ASA (All Sexual Activities) walked up and stated:

1. There is a gopher in the backyard that keeps sticking his head up.

2. I was to cease and desist with whatever I was doing and go kill the little burrowing bastard.

I had VC in the wire.

And so I set-up the Sahara and the Bog Pod on my back porch and began my vigil. After a nerve-wracking wait of 3 or so minutes, ol’ Victor Charlie presented himself. After taking into account the atmospheric conditions and the distance (10 yards), I put an end to his yard-marauding ways.



What’s kind of funny is that the Minister, via a bird feeder, has turned the backyard into her own personal Audubon Society. See picture of the Band-Tailed Pigeons below. Note the feeder hanging from the tree.



And as said Band-Tails have the table manners of a hyena, they throw bird seed ALL OVER the place. And Victor Charlie figger’d this out and would rise from the tunnels of Cu Chi and absolutely dine-out on bird seed. I know this because I MISSED him from 10 f@$!ing yards a couple days prior (the whole hold over/under thing confused my simpleton mind and I threw dirt all over him).

I love whacking ground squirrels, but taking out a gopher warms the sub-cockles of my heart.

The Brocock Reign of Terror continues…

This morning wanted to test my shooting with my standing height tripod. I recently saw a thread about adding weight to guns to help with shooting. Thought I'd try it and made a very redneck attempt and it's working great! Anyways wanted to shoot and see how it helped my shooting off a tripod with no other support. So shot off the hood of my truck with my mini tripod with rear bag and then with my large tripod for standing. I shot my Evol Mini and Tikka T1X .22lr. So I was pleasantly surprised that there were no real differences. The added weight upfront really helps alot. Both top groups off the "bench" setup were 6 shots and the other lower groups were 5 shots. Very satisfied. And clearly I need to work on not pulling shots on the tripod....my top Evol was a little wind gust not a Pulled shot but both the bottom groups had pulled a shot low and right.

I think the motor if faulty now. Any ideas?
They're a ton of money to ship. It isn't under warranty. Debating whether to try to fix it or scrap it and get something else. It's about 5 or so years old. Has new oil, and enough of it. High pressure piston rings were just replaced. when it failed it threw the breaker. When working, it's never done that before.

Finally figured out what tune the 22 grain hybrids liked. Macro 16 micro 1.5 and 18 clicks and 132 on regulater. Six 5 shot groups averaged .508 with the speed averaging 933 fps.
25.39 redesigns liked 17 on macro and 2 even on the micro. I have shot several groups in the .300 to .400 range and it likes 915 fps. Orange dots are pellet groups. Shooting black sharpie dots with hybrids . All groups are at 50 yards

I am new to the air gun world. I have a FX Dynamic Express 700mm barrel.
Shoots 52 grain .300 diameter Javelin slugs great!
140 bar
22 on wheel
3.8 on micro
989 FPS
Looking for a start place for tuning 60.80 grain rifle slug series slugs.

Thank you

Jeffrey gave me a tin of the JTS 25.4 pellets to try at Nationals. Took me 1/2 a tin to find how they needed to be shot but once I did they performed well at 50 in variable conditions from light to heavy holds outside the rings.

I don’t see them as any better than the FX pellets , although they certainly look a lot nicer.

You always hear the effective range of a hw springer is 30-50y

So this poor thing was bouncing around at the 100y rack ( 95-100y) so for fun i just took a hail mary pot shot and flipped him over to belly up mode ..

So ya, a springer .177 has enugh but o one shot insto kill to 100y. ( if i wanted to kill the poor thing id never hit him in 50 shots )

So had to send ruff to go get it .


He looks a little disgruntled and told me in this humid weather to please keep things at around 30y

Hello All,
I recently ordered a GX CS4. I wish I could have found the model with the internal power set up but oh well. I’m wondering if it’s necessary to add additional filtration to the air line. I might buy a small SCUBA tank for diving, and if I fill that up I’ll definitely get a more elaborate filtration set up.
Thanks

Was walking back from my target that was out 125 yds. Between the time I went out and walked back, this critter slithered on to the path where I was walking and I almost stepped on him. He rattled and hissed at me. I left my air rifle on the shooting bench so I was forced to pull out my Springfield .380 auto and spank him.

New pesting permission advice…

I just had someone reach out to me over an ad I posted in regards to pesting. I live in farm country and figured someone would need some help.

I’ve done plenty of hunting and pesting at our family property but never around new functioning equipment and roofing and such. Just looking for any tips or advice maybe some of the guys who have some experience can give me on do’s and don’ts of pesting. It will be for sparrows and starlings around livestock.

I have not yet had a chance to go visit them yet for an initial scout but have a feeling I’ll need something for longer range 50-100y max and close range inside the barns.

Followed the manual. Unscrewed the bottle, dry fired about 5 or 6 times until gage was on zero and then the handle will only go back half way and won’t cock the hammer. Anyone else had this issue and found a remedy other than disassembly? Gun was fine before this. All screws are tight and not binding the probe travel.

There has been a woodchuck living in the burm here are the farm off and on for a while. I never saw him, but his holes were quite obvious. I dumped used kitty litter and my compost bucket down his first hole, and he dug a new one. I urinated down his second hole and blocked the opening with a cinder block and then saw no evidence of him for two months. Today I actually saw the little turd leaving the flower garden and he was heading toward the burm. He has dug a new hole.

The question is, should I hunt him down. He isn’t causing any trouble in the burm, I just don’t want him undermining the barn or sheds. He keeps using the burm so that appears to be the favored location.

Are woodchucks territorial? Should I expect to only have one in the farmyard, and if he likes the burm I don’t have to worry about another moving under the barn? Or are they somewhat gregarious and any offspring they have will move in next door?

Thanks,
-pg

In an attempt to create a sub 10 lb compact FT rig, I purchased a BRK Ghost Carbine and a Kahles 10-50x56 FT specific scope. I added a PRS adjustable butt plate and a PRS flip out single shot loader.
Safety issue = if you don’t want to shoot the ends of your fingers off accidentally you really need to add length to the barrel so a Zero Db Moderator made sense.
Overall Setup was pretty easy.
I used Burris XTR signature rings for the first time; very nice way to get some additional MOA and I went with with 5 MOA option since 60 yards is as far as I’m shooting my ghost.
I would have liked to eliminate the BRK pic rail completely, but, if the scope was any lower than 3.25 ” C of Barrel to C of scope I couldn’t get a cheek weld and eyebox that worked well. This meant my zero would be at 30 yards if I wanted to eliminate hold unders.
In the end the total weight came in at 10 lbs 9 oz. Damn those 9 oz gremlins!
For FT this platform really needs the trigger spring swapped out for a lighter one as it’s definitely a hunting trigger. Most of my FT guns fire if you sneeze
StrelokPro data is spot on as far as I can tell at this point.
With the power wheel on 15 and the regulator at 100 I’m pushing JSB 10.34’s at 865 FPS…. Increasing power wheel above 15 provided no increase in speed. Accuracy testing will follow.

Just got a crown mk2. Don’t need both. Has slug power kit and cf liner installed. Comes with lots and lots and lots of pellets and slugs. Hugget moderator and saber tac adjustable check riser. Original included too.
$1200 and will split shipping.
Over 150 in pellets and slugs included.

Please tell me which is the biggest animal you have taken with .25 CAL and JSB Hades pellets.

I have confirmed that bleeding cause by Hades is much more than the one caused by normal pellets. But I do not know how well they penetrate.

Thanks for your feedback.

I took some .25 cal. JSB 33.95's and put them in a vibrating case cleaner with some corncob media and cleaned them and took them out and sprayed them down with some Dillon case lube. I shot them this morning on my woods range and I think it did make a difference in the way they shot. First group I shot at 50 yards, was fifteen shots all in the center of the bull...

here's a pic of the group....

I also tried to make a short video of shooting a 3" steel target at 100 yards....

In a recent post the poster was asking about a pellet pouch and a number of nice commercially available ones were suggested.

I suggested a homemade pellet pouch on that thread and thought that I would start a new thread here to bring it to the attention to those who might want to make their own.

The advantage of this pouch is that you can reach into to pluck out a pellet (one handed) without having to fumble with lids or closures. The pouch has a flexible flap the stops the pellets from falling out.

I recently detailed my pellet pouch in a guest blog for Pyramyd A.I.R. so I'll just provide a link to that...


Hope this is of intrest!
Cheers!

Its something to display my Pride and Joy on for all to see and admire. Well those who go in my bedroom that is. For £19 its ok and does the job.
