Just spend this afternoon shooting the most amazing airgun

The Daisy 753S. I was offered some new in the box at a fair price, guns are this years production. I decided to keep one. I have heard what a great shooter these are. Wow the rumor is true. First thought was the Pilk trigger tune. Since getting them I read a thread were later guns had a better trigger in them, The do, very nice two stage trigger straight out of the box. Very predictable first stage stack, than a steady nice clean break. Ones it has a 1000+ pellets though it it should be even better. I was shooting 19 yards (57feet) offhand and hitting my NRA airgun swinging ram and chicken. I was also shooting 10 meter paper airifle targets. Using JSB SCHak 8.2 flat nose pellets. The gun will shoot, and it is such a fun little gun with a big rep. Here are some pictures of this afternoon. Paper targets were shot of a make shift rest. Swingers were shoot offhand. The first paper target is a five round group. The second paper target has two flyers out of five shots. I was able to call both fliers, so not the guns fault. All shooting was done with the factory sights and the 10 meter front circle.

Top finishes at 100Y BR - skill or luck?

For quite a while now it's been debated that 100Y BR with pellets required too much "luck" to repeatably finish near the top in the RMAC and EBR type competitions...
A counterpoint to that might be this year, where:
The truly impressive performance of both Jeffrey Hernandez and Nicolay Boldov at EBR. Nicolay finished 2nd the second year in a row (2021, 2022) after finishing first in 2019. And Jeffrey finished first Sportsman in 2021 (and 2nd overall) and first in 2022. Other notable performances were Kjell Pehrson who finished 3rd at 2022 RMAC and 4th at 2022 EBR, and Keith Gibson who won RMAC in 2021 and finished 4th in 2022. There goes that theory flying out the window that repeatable top finishes are not possible because there is "too much luck" involved at 100Y with pellets. Either that, or those guys brought a bushel of rabbit's feet with them!

Power Plenum…benefits?

I have a Taipan Vet Long .22 that I want to power up a bit for shooting 25 grain slugs close to 1000 fps. I’m using a 700mm barrel w/ barrel tension, HUMA reg, and a power plenum. Does anyone know if two power plenums would give an increase in power? Along with that…the point of a larger plenum is to have more air to maximize the power output of a longer barrel, yes? Therefore, there is no point to install a power plenum on a compact gun/short barrel, yes?

Ever ask yourself, why the difference?

Just noticed the 50yd. groups the AA510 put up, would be hard to beat that group.
Thinking this: a lot of PCPs use the LW barrels,if all of them "liked" the same pellet why wouldn't they all shoot the same?
My opinion is why not.Thus a quality PCP is no better than another!...Hoo, then it becomes a matter of personal likes.
When something is agreeable to you one tends to like it; agreeable as is easy to get along with,fits good,and not fussy.
Your PCP is no better than mine,weather you pay $$$$$ or $$,it is all in your pocket book,mean head.
People are Always asking ,"what should I get"?and there will be a lot of different answers.
This forum is skewed toward BullPups and that is what most people recommend.
I see I should have started 2 different topics,better just leave with this,Better to know what YOU want,do the research,get a good idea what is the easiest fit for you; remember in the end there should not be much difference in the accuracy,so the fit and ease of shooting should be a better way to go.

NoeBulletMolds registration [Solved]

I don't know where else to ask other than here. I tried creating a forum account for the NoeBulletMolds forum because I want to create a post for a group buy. But I'm not receiving the verification email to create my account. I haven't had a response for 2 weeks on my direct email to them either, so I can't ask them directly why it's not working. Did anyone else have this issue when signing up for their forums, and if so is there a fix?

An empyrical explanation against believers of how an air rifle works and what the regulator is for.

Lets understand how an air rifle works in order people stop playing with the regulators.

In a rifle with hammer system there are two forces in fight, the preassure on the cilinder, bottle or plenum, and the force of the hammer (spring on tensión that is release with the trigger) to open the valve and release the air to move the pellet.

The higher the preassure in plenum, the less oppening of the valve, unless you increases the tensión of the spring of the hammer.

To be able to know what is the maximum power of your rifle you can remove the regulator, dial in all preassure (tensión of the spring) of the hammer and fill the rifle to 80 bar and shoot and measure fps, then to 90 and measure again, then to 100 and measure again. Eventually you will notice a decreases of fps, that mean that the top fps your rifle can give was the previous bar filling. At that preassure you should set your regulator and then decreases hammer tensión in order that you feel the rifle to shoot smoth.

Once you find that preassure the regulator should be set there and NOT MOVED. You will nor gain anything. The regulator will keep that exact optimal preassure for the air rifle to shoot at maximum power from top preassure allowed, to the regulated preassure set.

For example my Vulcan 3. 30 Cal gets to the top fps at 140 bar. If I increases preassure. Fps start decreasing.

The only rifles on which more preassure in regulator means more fps are the HUBEN, LCS and Rattler because those rifles do not have a hammer.

In other words once you get to know the adequate preassure your regulator has to be, you should not mess with it.

I took the following image from the thread of the Brocock Ghost. It confirms exactly what I explained above:

Monday, a good day to be cocked...

Out of the curiosity of a few, and my own, I'll take on this task.

My relatively new (about 6 months old) Taipan, Veteran Compact, in .22 cal., I do not have any idea how long it sat on the shelf at the dealer.
I will take on the task of cocking, letting it sit for 7 days (+/- 3 hours), and shooting it. I'll keep track of all obvious parameters of the very lightly-scientific test.

1667259230588.jpeg

One note - the sight was changed a while back. Just full disclosure !
Also, because it had not been shot in some time, I did put a few rounds through it before the test began, so the gauge needle is further off of the 3000psi. But, the tell, will be between the two photos that I will post.

1. I've topped off the cylinder. As verified with the 2" gauge on storage my air cylinder.
2. I put three shots through it. With the pellet speed as measured with my MagnetoSpeed, Ver.3., as measured in fps.
3. I cocked the gun (fourth round), putting a JSB, 18.1 gr. pellet into the breach, and put the safety "on". I never use the safety's !
4. I've put the gun behind the bedroom door, standing upright, barrel up, the barrel is lightly protected with a sock to keep rocks out. Only me and two cats live here, so no one will mess with the gun.
5. The gun will sit, undisturbed for 7 days, +/- about 3 or so hours.
6. Next Monday, after lunch, I'll verify the pressure in the guns cylinder.
7. I'll reinstall the Chronograph onto the barrel.
8. I'll shoot three rounds into my foam target, recording the three speeds in fps.
9. Will photograph the pressure gauge, both now and after the week is up.

We'll see what the outcome is, both in any obvious pressure loss from the gun, and in fps per the MagnetoSpeed chronograph.
Will write everything on paper and take a picture of it, so all can see my findings.

Have I missed anything ?

Pulled off a Maverick dual tune!

Ok, I just couldn't lose the itch to try slugs in my Maverick VP. I tried a few different slugs in the past, got OK groups but never as good as my pellets.

Yesterday I decided to give it another try. My rifle is .25 cal and tuned to shoot 34 grain JSB's. It's hole in hole at 30 yards when I do my part.

To start my process I confirmed through the chrono that it likes the pellets to leave the muzzle at 890, I had the power wheel at 7.
So I turned the wheel to 6 and then upped the second reg until I was back at 890, this ended up being 119-120 on the rear gauge. Shot lights out.

Next I loaded up with NSA 29 gr slugs and power wheel at 5. At 30 yards I had quarter sized groups with an occasional flyer. As I turned up the power wheel they got smaller and even at 6 no more flyers. Went up to 7 and bam, groups as tight as my pellets. I didn't use the chrono as I didn't want to be biased in my tune. FPS didn't matter, only group size. After the initial tune I put 45 slugs through the rifle and all the 5 shot groups were a ragged hole.

Next I went across the street to a neighbors for a try at continuing my slug experiment on squirrels. His back fence straight out is 50 yards so at angles it's obviously a little longer. The squirrels like to run the ground along the fence. I felt squirrels at 50 yards plus would give me my final answer. Within about ten minutes four squirrels were down. All were head shots pretty much where I aimed. Two in the side of the head were pretty much missing the other side of the head when I retrieved. Two were head on. Three of the four dropped in their tracks without a flinch. One hit in the side of the head dropped then did two flops.

I'm pretty thrilled with the outcome and being able to switch back and forth between pellets and slugs with the turn of a dial.

FYI today I chono'd the slugs and was getting 937. One added benefit I noticed was a ten shot string had eight shots at 937 and two at 935 so a bit more consistent than the pellets.

PCP General Question

This question is about my FX Impact.

I had a full fill of 250 bar. After the first 28 shot magazine I noticed I was down to 200 bar and thought ”wow, I won’t get 100 shots out of this”. The next mag took it down about 30, and each additional mag went down less. I stopped at 100 bar, where the 2nd reg is set and that was 5 mags (140 shots). I didn’t have the chronograph setup and was only watching for an impact change on the target which I didn’t see.

Is this normal to use more air when tank pressures are higher? I’ve left it filled for several days with no change in pressure so there doesn’t appear to be a leak. No complaints about the number of shots, just seemed odd.
