Tuning  .177 vs .22 shotcount

There's the nuance of the efficiency of the air charge on a piston of a larger size ( pellet being the piston).


In practice between my 2 discos projectile weights are different, velocity is different, energy is equal and shot counts were equal.

I've leaned towards viewing air guns as fpe. My impact used to just shoot 50 fpe no matter the projectile weight. Velocity would just vary with projectile weight, no tune change

CPHP Question

I bought a tin of Spanish made CPHPs at a local Walmart a month or so ago for $8. Seems like a reasonable price to me. They did not shoot as accurately as a couple old partial tins of American made Crosman domed, however. As a possible explanation of why I looked at weight and head size. There was a lot more head size variability in the Spanish made CPHP. I mostly shoot targets and CPHP are not good for targets in my guns but they are "minute of squirrel head" accurate.

Fed-Ex lost another one! Just in case someone might see it

I am wondering if there is a Main Office close enough for you to drive to and speak to a high end management person face to face.....
Mike - I agree. It’s worth a shot. Don’t give up.

You have a tracking number and someone in Fed-Ex created a label.

Cabela's portable shooting table

Does anyone have or have had the opportunity to use one of these ? The Cabela's portable table, $79.99. Thanks for your feedback !
It depends on what you're looking for. If you would be satisfied shooting off of a plastic, folding table that you would find at almost any church social go for it. The only advantage the cabellas table has is the cut out for you to sit in.
Personally, I would go to Lowe's and buy a 2ft x 4ft folding table for around $50.00.

Why does FX come out with so many different rifles ?

Yep, just like BSA, Webley, Diana, and others. They made the same old, same old, year after year and now they are gone. Air Arms and Weihrauch may be next. Even though they make the best quality rifles., they are always the same. Why should anyone buy another?
BSA is still around.
Under newish ownership.
R12 series are fine rifles.
Typical british gorgeous wood stocks

Tuning  .177 vs .22 shotcount

If the 177 and 22 are at the same fpe, and store the same amount of air at the same pressure, the 22 will have a higher shot count. The air has a larger area to push against with a 22 so it takes less air to get to the same fpe. 22 shot count tends to be less, as in your example, because the fpe is greater.

I used to have a practical example. I had a 22 and 25 caliber P35 both tuned to 32 fpe. Shot count was noticably greater for the 25. I've since retuned the 25.

Other  Gentle Shot Cycle

The gun I hate to love, lol, which is a Skout EVO in 22 cal.

Easy to cock and changed over to the left side. No spring tension to overcome but not as refined feeling as the E Wolf's but better than most pcp's.

The E-trigger is VERY good and light and it's superior feeling to the E Wolfs to me and most other pcp's mechanical triggers. It's not super crisp but is predictable once you get used to it.

Shot cycle, yes again VERY smooth. Part of that I'm sure is the heavier weight of the gun. Its hard to describe but I like shooting it more than a lot of guns I've messed around with.

High cap mags to keep on keeping on enjoying the nice shot cycle. Had no hang ups of any sort so far.

There's actually more I like about this gun that I could mention.
On the other side of the coin is it's a moody !@#$ and not without various problems.
Sometimes it fixes its self, yeah that's a head scratcher for sure but working great right now.

RAW Rapid  Raw 9 mm single shot loader

I have an older 15mm magazine slot Raw HM1000x with a few barrel kits, .22, .25, .30, .35 I have magazines for all of them except the 9mm.
The original magazine is not fitting the 15 mm slot and a magazine for the 9mm I cannot find.

Does someone know if there is a 9mm single shot tray for the 15mm slot or does someone has a 3d file to have one printed.

N/A  Advice on portable shooting table

I made some of these, about 45 years ago, and mine is still going. It has been transported all over for shoots, gopher shooting, reloading in remote locations, and so on.

Some pipe couplers, sawn at an angle, that I welded to plates. Countersunk holes for screws and lenghts of pipe as legs. They are quite solid, much superior to any of the factory ones that I have tried. The seat has a shelf with coss barrier to hold fired cases while gopher shooting. Sometimes 1,000 .223, & 22-25o 4o degree Ackey. They haven't even needed a new coat of painy, alothough....

Looking forward to attending Sunday! Hopefully the weather cooperates this time. I've hear there has been big changes this year. I was impressed last year so I'm anxious to see what you have up your sleeve.

For those considering this shoot for the first time - the group at Atglen is very friendly and eager to help out new shooters.

CPHP Question

Me too. I hope you the best shooting .

Ive been lucky shooting them vs buying fancy mail-order pellets


Good luck and enjoy!
I shot 10 round groups at 13 yards today. The American made CPHP and Magnum dome shot very well. The Spain made magnum dome had a couple fliers. Not good at 13 yards… but I was shooting it at 1037fps 😂. None of my airguns are tuned low enough for these light pellets.

new guy here,optics question

Yeah, I recognized that you were just pretending for fun. I thought another poke might bring out some more humor.

Thanks for the chuckles, it's like a day with the gang at the range. :)
I seriously hope I didn't scare the OP away.

Hi dabaka. Welcome to AGN. Please don't let an occasional grumpy post like mine keep you from hanging out with us. Cheers.
