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.

Testing Expansion .177 slugs

Just got the JSB 13.43g Knockouts. More accurate out of the pulsar at 50 yards than the 10.03g knockouts and expand great, moving at 978 FPS and 28 ft pounds. I think the Daystate Pulsar likes heavier, longer slugs but going to try the jsb 10g mk3 knockouts and some varmint knockers, both are ordered just waiting. Going to do some comparisons at 50 yards later.

What did you do airgun related today.

Put on a new Burris Fullfield 2.5x10x44 scope and zeroed it in. Its the free replacement for the "new"
Burris Fullfeild E1 series that never worked out of the box.
Here are the results, 10-15 MPH swirling crosswind, you can see how I walked the shots over to the target and got a decent group for me @50 yards once "zeroed in" @50

These look nice. I appreciate that the core is machined aluminum and not 3d printed. I would not buy one without know the following details though:

What is the Length?

What is the O.D.?

Also, cores built for smaller caliber would be great!

6.5 OZ 1.5" OD 7.25" OAL

Nickel, Dime, Dollars 😂

Back woods living has it's perks. Can start mowing my grass at 5am on a Sunday morning and no one around to complain.
Could shoot out my windows if it didn't bother my dogs... maybe wife also.
Get a big bore and start casting your own slugs. That opens another hole. Lead pot, PID controller for lead pot, molds, having molds modified, a ventilation system, sizing dies and press, and of course the lead. Maybe powder coating too. Of course you'll need something to keep all those slugs in. And lead traps so you can recycle the lead. And, And, And.
My wife definitely love me, otherwise I'd be buried in one of my holes 😆

I got a new regulator assembly for that Rainson Edge I've been playing with. It came in the mail today, and I replaced my old regulator. It's sitting there aired up while I'm goofing off on the internet working, and I'll check it in a little bit to see if it holds air. Fingers crossed.

I also (last night) filed off the nicks in the old regulator and measured the o-ring that was by the nicks. Replacing that regulator assembly wasn't a big deal so I might see if I can resurrect the old one.

30-Yard Challenge

That’s superb shooting at 40y.

Every time I move my target stand back from 30-40y, I start quietly talking ( cursing really) to myself. I start thinking, “Tom, why don’t you just shoot some tight groups and be content with that.”
😉

thomasair showed how much shooters are pushing the boundaries of what is possible with competition grade rifles and top notch trigger pulling…

… see post# 3222 where he submitted a 198 13X Masters card at 50 meters (55 Yards) !

Definitely need some good scope magnification at 55 yards, lol .

This is a glamor shot.
I got this gun is 2009 to shoot Field
Target. I was using a Browning Leverage shooting open piston. I sold everything I had to get this gun. I then practiced every day till I went to the US Nationals in 2015.
Now I am remodeling it to shoot Hunter class at my field target club. Been a long journey with this gun.
