True, but in the centerfire world with custom barrel makers, some do have tighter chambers and tolerances for those that custom load their own ammo. Some cartridges have the bullet seated deeper and some less than others.

Shot the Zan slugs today, and they are excellent.

Which brand of slugs are you using on your .22cal Condor? I've got one sitting in the safe dying of neglect that I should revive.

These Hollow Rebated Boat Tail Hollow Point Low Density Core in 24 grain are phenomenal.

It’s getting ridiculous. 12.6y.

Holdover for 13. Stuck low. Still instakill.

Thank you, I did see those kits. I would like to order at least 25 of each. They always seem to fit something else later.

I have two GK1s in .25. They are too powerful on infrastructure for close in-house/barn pest control even at mid-power settings. I use my pp700SA in .22. Very accurate and not too destructive

I don't understand. The GK1 can be set down to 6 ft/lbs easily. The PP700SA is about 12 ft/lbs stock

what is the opinion of he beeman r9 ? found a used one at a decent price

i really like the diana 460 22 cal,, but can't find one in stock anywhere.

The Beeman R9 is an excellent gun. If it is in decent condition, grab it.

Yeah I need trigger time for sure.

The rifle does indeed sound like a fart...lol.

I have a slightly different version. They are apparently sold under many names.

I have repaired several of this type, by Tuxing, and they look like GX CS1.

I can post some photos of internals in a while

More of a practice day for me, trying to knock off some rust. I started with 13gr pellets on another target, but the rifle wasn’t liking them today.
I used a 177 scoring plug

Chris, fwiw

You can use the .22 caliber plug for this informal competition. But, I get it too with using the .177 gauge.

I’ve come across a few sets on Amazon, vitron sets. Just don’t know if there’s a preferred set or not.

fatkid21 · Saturday at 5:38 PM

Good luck. Seems usps isn't too concerned about these issues cause I went thru something similar and could only get a few emails answered before the item finally showed up. Calling did no good and local office would just tell me what tracking number says. Hopefully you get your items soon.

I need to get out to the long range squirrel spot with the long range gun and it's zulus. The need for a ground squirrel catch all thread was there for me this morning.

Field Target sight-in opens at 07:45 at the Air Rifle Range at the top of the hill.
(Drive past the clubhouse, drive uphill past the shotgun fields on your right, continue to the end of the lane.)

Safety meeting at 08:50, match starts at 09:00.

The Field Target match (in the ‘Field Target Forest’ behind the clubhouse) has ten lanes, three target per lane, each target shot twice. One standing lane, one kneeling lane. The June 29th match has a course Troyer of 30.7 - each 2025 match creeps to a higher Troyer number.

AND…A 10-METER OFFHAND COMPETITION!

Right after the Field Target match, a 10-meter offhand competition at the Air Rifle Range.

This competition has 20 scored shots using rifle, or pistol, or both!
Standard 10-meter ISSF airgun rifle & airgun pistol targets are used.
You can use your Field Target gun, or bring a specific 10-meter gun (.22-caliber, 25 foot-pound limit.)
PCP and ‘old school’ guns are welcome, any sights/scopes/red dots are allowed…there will be classifications based on equipment.

AND…A ‘RISK/REWARD’ SILHOUETTE CHALLENGE!

Alongside the 10-meter offhand competition will be a NEW Silhouette challenge.

This challenge locates silhouette stands at 20 and 30 yards.
Each stand has twenty critters - five Chickens, five Turkeys, five Pigs, and five Rams.
10 offhand shots per stand, 20 shots per match.
[4-points per Chicken], [3-points per Turkey], [2-points per Pig], [1-point per Ram].
Multiple shots may be taken at a single critter.
No shooting jackets, no shooting gloves, (.22-caliber, 20 foot-pound limit.).
Piston rifle class & PCP rifle class.

IF weather forces us to forego the Field Target portion, we will still have a great time under roof at the 10-Meter and Risk/Reward Silhouette events. Updates will follow about the Field Target weather status.

Fee for everything…$10.00…what a steal!

Questions?...email Mark at [email protected]

Hope to see YOU there!

I am curious about the "Risk/Reward" aspect. Can you please explain a little bit about how that works? Thanks.

@JimD Average fps of the HAWKi Thunder 25.3 gn pellets out of my Komplete is 718.8 fps, so 29 fpe; this is muzzle energy. I don't know the down-range energy. I suspect your P35-25 is 45 fpe at the muzzle also (?). It would be nice to now what the acceptable fpe is for different size small game, squirrels, rabbits, ground hogs, etc, for a clean kill. Then the down-range energy could be calculated, and you would know what can be humanely killed with a particular gun. I haven't chrono'ed the pellets at 40 or 50 yards, yet, but it seems like a good idea. (I'd use a .22lr or magnum after 50 yds. in any case!)

Follow - Through!!!

Hi @JimD, excellent writing as always.

I want to tune down my P35x, 177 to shoot 10 gr ish pellet at about 970 fps max. What reg pressure would you recommend and how do I adjust the reg to get to the recommended pressure?

Frequent teardown to adjust stuff will damage the airgun.

As mentioned several times GX compressor hard to beat with there coupon thru have ordering direct from there website. Shipping was fairly quick also for me.

I’ve always liked the joystick rest, I had a Farley that I loved. This I bought for CF Benchrest, worked perfectly for 100 & 200 yd. BR. Went to use for 25m and could not cover the whole card L to R with out moving the rear bag so you lost your quick advantage of going from record to sighter. But would definitely buy a joystick again! Probably be a SEB though! $$$$

My leak experiences have been the check valve in the foster, the guage block orings (usual suspect) or the guage seat oring. There's not too many more other than valve body and air tube cap. Crc aerosol leak checker and a roto burr knife are your friend. Once the tube is deburred a little better it doesn't knick orings as easily.

This last rebuild after a deburr and captain oring kit has lasted 8 years charged the entire time.

steve123 · Saturday at 5:28 PM

A tripod is better than no tripod but there's a huge difference in how steady a tripod is depending on how well it's made, what type of leg material used, and it's weight load rating.

For example I have a aluminum Manfrotto 055 which should be steady using a RRS gun clamp but it's a night and day difference compared to my Fat Boy which is very very stable using a level head and attached to the gun via Pic or ARCA rail.
You'd have to experience this to realize it.

fatkid21 · Saturday at 5:26 PM

Scanned over airgunnation classifieds wishing my 10 days was up so I can buy some items!

6gun · Saturday at 5:26 PM

The captain oring kits are good if you can't find the list. My opinion is based off a gen 1, but using a little roto burr knife to deburr the holes in the air tube goes a long way too. 3 rebuilds in 15 years and the captain oring set has lasted the longest thus far. Just because I'm lazy and it wasn't expensive enough to go your route and they serve 2x parts

Squirrels must have had a union meeting last night . only one lone squirrel out in 3 hours this AM . Maybe it was a scout that drew the short straw ? she did not report back .

Cantona256 · Saturday at 5:22 PM

This is from last month. This dude was posted up in a tree at like 40-43y I don’t remember exactly. Pretty unlucky to catch a slug in one eye and out the other…

Barra 250z .25cal
31gr franco slug@960fps
