FX  Fx m4 .177 to .30, hammerweight?

I have a 600mm .177 M4 that I changed to a 500mm .30 cal. After turning reg up to 125 it seemed like it takes alot of micro wheel to get fps up (macro at 16). It seemed like I could not get to the knee as fps just went up until I was maxed on micro. Also took like 4+ just to get into the 800’s.

My question is do I need a different hammer weight than what came stock on .177 M4? Or maybe something else?…

Thanks

The simplest solution i can think of and cost no money is just unlimited shot's till you hit the intended target , Everybody gets a 1st place trophy !
No winners , no losers , no hurt feelings , no tear's ,and most of all ,no whining !

But this is an international, organized, skill based competition.
The entire fall of society is due to putting the rules and the enforcement of them by the wayside in favor of immediate gratification and personal desires.

Taking the skills away would ruin the entire spirit of the sport.
it's math in the beginning, eventually you begin to just know distance based on size in reticle and where the parallax becomes crystal clear. I can just put something on my reticle, use my side focus wheel and have a good enough idea to score hits on game. I dont do FT.

just like AI and cellphones in school, always opting to rely on technology degrades skills and arrests development of knowledge.
A hit isn’t always a ethical kill shot… I prefer precise

any Miliradian FFP scope or SFP MRAD set to its 1:1 magnification is an analog range finder.

Height of target in inches ÷ 36 x 1000 ÷ Mil reading= range in Yards

with MOA reticle it's

target size in inches x 95.5 ÷ MOA reading= range in yards
Math? 😳

Huben  Huben GK1 not precise at all. What I am doing wrong?

Are you using the stock loading gate? when i first got my gk1 I found that I was shaving the head of each pellet pushing them in. I only noticed because I was shooting from a table and wiping with a paper towel showed lots of lead bits unseen on the table.
the magnet type gate made it easy to load right and accuracy improved a lot!

Thats the field target conundrum right there. Field target is primarily run on dedicated equipment that borders on the esoteric.

XFT and 100y BR are thriving because the equipment is what everyone uses for plinking/hunting/etc.

We have lost more attendees to the new AG sports than old eyes, knees or backs.

If the game they play under NRL Hunter (the full size PB's, not the 22lr or AG NRL Hunter) was adapted to AG's I think it would be a big hit. It’s a bit more involved than what we do but just as challenging and would 100% have a practical application (hunting). The power level equalization factor would need to be inverted, but other than that it would be easy to adopt.
Commercially available/ Access to targets that can handle <100 fpe at 15 yards is pretty much non existent and when you do find a source it will cost you a bunch $$$

What’s the last gun you’ve hunted with?

Umarex Surge in .177. Dont judge....Trying to get to 10 posts so I can message on the classifieds and upgrade to a nice PCP! lol



Oh my!
What a precious sight!

Someone RIGHT AT THE EDGE

of the ABYSS!! 😱


What an awesome sight! 🤩



Maguana,
fear not.

• You will fall,
• you will fall rapidly,
• you will fall deeply,
• and there is no halting from this point on.


But it is a fall worthy of taking.
• Courageously press on to those 10 posts.
• Buy that first PCP that will be your very own gateway drug.
• And just let go — your new friends at AGN will accompany you on your fall into the AG rabbit hole —
all the long way down.
We will.


Trust us.

Coma wheel direction

I am looking the Athlon


I like the coma wheel but not all of them. The main thing I need is the magnetic attachment.

What’s the last gun you’ve hunted with?

PP700
.22cal
19.5FPE

My steepest downhill shot so far:
34⁰ down 🤩
And the sucker pest went down without another flap.... 😃


After this shot, I was sent on
an abstinence pilgrimage
to a foreign country that generally hates anything having to do with weapons:
I will be subjected to a therapy of
3 (three) months of no killing any pests or game!! 😵‍💫


➧ Send your condolence cards via PM, please.
➧ Mourners are invited to the informal ceremony via zoom, details tba.
➧ If so desired, you can express your sympathy with my loss in tangible ways with a donation to the RTI .22cal barrel fund.


Cheers,

Matthias 😉



PS:
The 3-month therapy was really the request from my job to do some work in that country.... 😉
But the effect is the horrible SAME!
No guns or shooting for 3 (three) months! 😵‍💫

It can only be two things,right?

Thoughts, Shooting my Maurader Field Target.22 using Air Arms Diabolo Field 16 grams I get all pellets touching at 25+ yards.
Next day my groups are opening up....So my air pressure went down ,could that cause my groups to open up ,I mean it was not a big drop ,but it was getting down to 1000psi which I think is too low.What is your sweet spot? I think I keep it above 1500psi from now on.
Ok, the other problem could be me,I am not as good from one day to the nest:cry:
Stay between 2750 and 1500 psi and you should be in the sweet zone
but
what is your regulator set at?

Coma wheel direction

I am looking for a new scope and side wheel combination for field target. I really want a removable side wheel.
JD custom is what I have now. It is great. But I’m shopping around while they are restocking inventory.
I just discovered that the coma side wheels come in two directions. If the parallax wheel turns clockwise to increase magnification it is one type and if turning counter clockwise increases magnification it is the other style.
Can someone please show a picture of how it should be set up.
Buy a round 6” mag wheel and it won’t matter… you’ll thank me later!
I think only Nightforce is the reverse direction but not completely sure
what scope are you considering?
I may even have a scope and a wheel your looking for

Regulated or Non-Regulated

I bought my first PCP in 2020, my Prod. It has not required any maintenance so far. My second was an Avenger which leaked when I got it. So I sent it back and it has been fine since. I doubt I've shot it 1000 times so far, however. I like it but it is really long. I got it in early 2021. I got a P35-25 in late 2021 and I like it a lot better. I've rebuilt the regulator once and replaced other O-rings but it's shot thousands of shots. I got my P35 in 22 and 177 in June 2022. I have replaced some O-rings in my 177 and recently opened the 22 for the first time to rebuild the regulator. While I was in there I replaced many more O-rings. I got my Caiman X in April 2024. The regulator failed almost immediately but I rebuilt it and it has been fine since.

I'm providing this information so you can judge the maintenance needs of regulated PCPs. I have had some but I don't see it as a big deal. My regulators have failed because of too much silicone grease where none was needed and not any where it is needed (Caiman) and for less well known issues that were fixed with new O-rings lubricated correctly (P35s). Cost is very low and time required is pretty low too as long as you have the necessary O-rings on hand.
