Posting events would be of benefit to those that may wish to attend. If not to shoot, but at least to watch and visit.
Possibly using the AGN "Calendar" might be a great option?
Just a suggestion.

These Temecula events are essentially practice matches among friends at my home, they are not open events.

honestly not sure, i've not been in a position to trial and compare...i would imagine that your assumption would be reasonable...and they are a bit less expensive. i'm not a big fan of returning items, i always feel bad about it but perhaps in this case if it was just an exchange it might prove to be a suitable option?

Momma was feeding. Don’t mess with momma cow’s calf !!!

Thanks guys looks like Amazon only for me. Direct from gx to Honolulu shipping was 200. I'll look around for options.

Looks like a calf in need of a new home. Grab it for me.

Nice where do you purchase them from ?

I think all these guns are illegal in Canada.

I need a "plumun 90cc" and an "ambidexter side lever design" for my rifles.

Had a few minutes of daylight left after work, so I was able to put a few shots through a classic beauty last night. 10 meters, 1/2" group. Not bad for a 90 year old rifle. Diana Model 58 DRP third variant circa 1930s An underlever, tap loading design with a smooth thud, and no buzz, vibration or harshness. A joy to shoot.

That's really nice. I'm looking forward to you doing a video of that one on your channel.

That rifle looks a lot like the old Webley M III series of guns.

jpiperson2002, Thank you for the detail reporting. Excellent information!!

I like that you can get the Slash .25 power with the JSB 25 and 34's down to 55/57 fpe. For me, that makes the .25 caliber now much more enticing than the originally published 90J/66fpe by Taipan. Plus, I assume the Power Kits could allow us to go even lower still (or higher).

You documented the issue with the 3D Pellet Seater, and hopefully, Taipan will acknowledge and correct. Possibly more than one Pellet Seater needed.

Can you still seat pellets/slugs individually with appropriate ballpoint pen or golf tee like we do with the Huben's?

Pellets can of course be individually seated to any reasonable depth in the magazine. It's a finicky business without a tool of some kind that loads all of the pellets to the same depth. And it's easy enough to make or find a small pellet press tool like a pen tip or chopstick or something that widens enough to seat a pellet but not enter the magazine any further.

I got spoiled with the very wide pellet variety available in .22 cal. There were always multiple .22 options and most of those seemed to work in most of my airguns. Maybe not very accurately, but they worked.

There are (probably?) dozens of different varieties of standard commercial .25 cal pellets and slugs out there, plus the specialty houses making slugs. Someone with a .25 cal Slash and a large cache of .25 cal pellets and slugs to test will eventually come up with a recommended list of brands/weights/diameters that work smoothly. I might make another attempt to individually load the Baracudas and Crow Magnums deeper into the magazines to see if that helps.

I haven't checked to see if there is a list of airgun pellet diameters anywhere. The maximum diameter of the solid body of a pellet puts a physical limit on the diameter of the barrel it can use. That's a big deal with slugs since they can't deform as much as pellets, which can have a deep cavity and only one or two narrow bands of physical engagement between the pellet body, the skirt edge, and the barrel.

One nice thing about airguns is that anyone with a chronograph and some time and patience can plot out power curves for different pellets and pressure settings. And a few people also have both the opportunity and the skill to also compare the relative accuracy of different ammo at longer distances likely encountered while hunting.

Forums like this allow everyone with an interest to become an independent researcher and then to post their test results and observations. No grant money or lengthy peer reviews are needed before publishing test results here. As long as they're fair reviews with reasonable tests. The real-world feedback we often see in the forums here really helps the majority of participants who are not able to test things for themselves.

Though I'm not sure if reading the AGN forums usually saves people money in the long run by steering them away from buying airguns they've read about.

Or if reading about new airguns all the time, about how well a new model performs compared to almost anything that has come before.... that it might in fact influence some easily swayed souls to gradually accumulate a small but growing collection of increasingly unique and expensive airguns as time goes on.

You need one that shoots pumpkins, they run on compressed air. That one was a powder burner. Don't think he got 3 miles like he claimed. Beales science has a bowlingball cannon jeep and did not make it to 1 mile with two pounds of powder. Mark

An example I have on hand is a tin of R10.
Nice pellets, but too tight for my HW30. So pellets that fit correctly, but 1/3 the price, are more accurate.

Maybe different if I had the next smaller size R10.

I think there are two cows there.

I don't want to be an @rse but where you guys finding 300 bars refilling from a bottle? Especially from those small ones.
I tried several times to top up my 14L bottles (I believe these are the largest scba we have seen so far) to 300 bars with multiple last push, after an hour cool down max I was reading on the digital gauge about 280 ish. So I gave up pushing my compressor so hard several runs only to get a very last 10%.
Just asking for a friend

Getting a fill from a dive shop or a paintbal store, they will fill to 4500 psi.

And inspirational!
I had to have one!

I will give a vote to Trenier Airguns. Good selection of wares and excellent customer service with fast shipping. Great place for pellets.

As to 150's with left-hand stocks: Back when ARH went out of business, I bought a lefty 'normal' 150 stock from their bargain clearout of spare parts. It ended up being modified to fit a 300S which later got sold (I could not tolerate the right-hand lever). That stock may still be tucked away in an attic corner.
