Optimal .22cal Slug Weight and Speed in 1:16 Twist Barrel

6
@ 1:16 even 34 javelin slugs have a stability factor of 1.68 according to strelok at 990 fps. Anything above 1.0 should be sufficiently stabilized iirc. Even then when I had my pellet liner I had things that were at 1 or just under that still, and still shot fair to decent at 100 yards but mathematically weren't sufficiently stabilized. They were squirrel accurate.

N/A  Buying O-Rings

R
I just pulled up the schematic for the FX Dynamic and am shocked at what little information is available. Normally FX is very good at providing all the specifications and details needed to rebuild their airguns. Wonder what happened with this unit.

Sourcing O-ring can get to be an interesting journey. At times I have had to order some O-rings from one place and others from a second and then look to a third vendor for those missing units. Believe it or not, Amazon has gotten me out of a couple of tight spots with odd sizes for some of my Chinese guns. Go figure.

N/A  Low powered guns

I agree. I have a couple rifles turned up, just for kicks, but my favorites are tuned down to comfortable, air economizing levels. I have an HW100.22 tuned to 12fpe, a Crosman Challenger at 6fpe and a Notos. The see far more use than high speed rifles.

My HW100s couldn’t hit the side of a barn when new. Polygon rifling, 20+ ft/lbs and anything under was a disaster.. It took a year to improve, and another to come good.
Now after nine years I have it at 7ft/lbs for shooting inside sheds, and it is a laser. Loaded with alternate Bara15 and Hades in a magazine they stack through one hole at 8m and 15m with same crosshairs. Head shots on pest birds. Just as satisfying as the P3 knocking pigeons at 90m/66lbs. One fill seems to last for countless magazines. 😃😃

Bipod mounting - Arca or Picatinny?

kwaping said:
Is there an advantage to one mounting style versus the other? I can go either way and want to make the best choice.
Click to expand...
I went arca for the width and run a pic adapter on my impact. Much easier that the pic rail on my dreamline with an arca adapter. I like some of the cheap import carbon camera tripods with a ball mount up top and the arca rail for sit and shoot or stand and shoot scenarios. It's more adjustable and easier to use than my long Pic mount bipod I use on the dreamline, but you have to carry a relatively large funny shaped tripod with you. Arca is becoming the "standard" with a lot of the longer range guys so that's why I chose it. Just to have interop with other people's gear in a pinch. Whatever that's worth to ya.

Karma Airguns guides Duck Dynasty Iguana Hunting in Puerto Rico!

Corbin
DonnyFL said:
Hey there airgunners,

We just got back from Puerto Rico where we filmed an episode of Duck Dynasty Revival with Willie and Korie Robertson. It was their anniversary trip and we brought the new Karma EQ along with the Karma SLS to help thin out the iguana population. We even got some range time in with the Karma Red Panda before the hunt.

The EQ in .25 turned out to be just right for the job. It had enough punch to drop the bigger ones clean but was still easy to handle when moving through thick brush. The balance was better than I expected. Most of the weight sits back so it stayed steady offhand without feeling like you were fighting the muzzle.

Korie got on a roll and was knocking iguanas out of the trees like she had been hunting them for years. Willie ended up with the biggest iguana of the trip and we had a good laugh about it back at camp.

Abner and the Puerto Rico Xtreme Outdoors crew made the hunt a lot easier. They were spotting iguanas high in the canopy that I never would have seen. Chris Turek, Karma’s brand representative, handled technical support for the rifles, kept the gear running, and provided brand support in the field. He also turned one of the iguanas into dinner for the Robertsons that night.

It was a fun hunt in tough terrain and the rifles did exactly what we needed them to do.

If you have hunted in spots like that with fast moving targets and thick cover, what is your go-to setup?

N/A  Buying O-Rings

kayakman said:
Trying to purchase specific o-rings for FX Dynamic without out purchasing entire kit or ordering 75 pieces to reach a certain $ amount some I don't even see listed by Captain O-ring or the O-ring store....very frustrating any help would be appreciated

There are other suppliers too where you can choose composition and durometer if that's your bag. McMaster is always a safe bet. I just bought 3 or 4 kits.... Haven't touched one for my impact in 3 years or even the dreamline and I have those guns in 100+ heat where they're "making free air" and sweating silicone-carne oil all over they anodizing. Still haven't extruded an oring that way. I've only destroyed regulator pistons.

Optimal .22cal Slug Weight and Speed in 1:16 Twist Barrel

Gear_Junkie said:
My barrel is super tight. It prefers .2165 and some companies' .217's. Larger than this and the slugs are too tight to push into the breech.
Click to expand...
As it happened to be my fx likes 217, and my buddy with a transition period Martin-airforce lw barreled hmx1000 bough 217 H&N. It just happened to work well. 23 javelin and the 23 H&N did even better.

I had chronographed and built a table for his gun with a Zulus and took a shot at my pest bird tree 94 yards out the back of my shop. Popped a range find and let it move the reticle and thwop, starling parts.... 1 shot. I put it in the bag and told him to come get it.

In my initial zero I noticed his gun seemed to like increasing pressure for groups with a 15 yard setup range(if it can shoot 1 clean hole it shows promise) . My best estimation is projectile obturarion. I gave it 90 degrees of hammer spring preload and it showed positive correlation. Everything I've relayed was trial and error from my impact that I tried to translate to the raw. Here's a 700mm impact with the raw just to show the chungus twins and how long they are. And my tiny donnyfl is quieter at much higher power levels.

What a BREECH!

cavedweller said:
the breech is typically the rear of the action... behind the muzzle where the magazine filled with ammo usually goes ... but how this correlates to your posts intro "what a breech" doesn't make sense with the whole semi auto thing????.

FX  Huma introduced a good trigger for mk2 and M3

6
So it's about the only thing left to replace on my m3. I'm going to need to buy an mk2 and just update it to a stock m3 here pretty quick.

Bottle, trigger block, trigger and guages is about all that is left(i have to turn the titanium cocking lever still, but have the rod) I told myself this wouldn't be another 1022 endeavor, yet here we are. Thanks for being my enablers guys. 😂
