Does it correlate to a position in the shot string every time or is it random? If random I bet it's got more to do with the pellet, but 10fps isn't worth fussing over ime.... Unless it's for tournament level stuff.

It was totally random, and come to think of it, I wasn't inspecting the skirts to make sure they weren't dented like I normally would when I'm going to take a poke at a pest with one of my multi pumpers. Maybe some air made it past some dented skirts. I bought a couple tins of pellets from Amazon and the containers had some pretty bad dents in them. Had to have deformed a few of them.

Yes sir that took work! I spent a few nights figuring out exactly which direction he was coming from and then I had to make my own blind using a tent’s green rain fly and some pine boughs… then I had to spend 4 nights freezing my a$$ off hiding in that blind before I got him… definitely a powder burner would have been way easier but even though I live on 6 acres it’s technically still town so no shooting allowed.

I still agree with your point though. I just wanted to point out that the power level of an airgun is only limiting if you’re not willing to find ways of mitigating that factor.

You were definitely motivated to eliminate that fox.

I wondered about alignment, but since the 3d printed version I had previously worked fine, I figured that it would be okay. Also, I didn’t notice any slop in the threads and it was on good and snug. If that’s still the problem I would be ok with dealing with that, but the total silence from AC really sours me on the company. Thanks for the info on JTS. I’ll check into that.

Printed ones self clearance a lot easier. I made an adapter for a benjamin 392 that was easily knocked out of alignment and had to run nice lightweight pla prints it could shoot thru.

Almost forgot. I visited my buddy with a fab plant and he gave me 6 - 2 inch aluminum discs. I cleaned them up in my shop added chains and hung them. These make the best chink sounds when hit. Crow

That rifle has a KNOWN issue for having correct alignment issues with screw on LDC's.
If clipping happens ?, it IMO absolutely IS NOT the fault of the LDC manufacturer, but a SHARED fault with the owner installing said LDC not checking prior to use to be true and straight by visually viewing threw it and barrel ... as well the AG manufacturers to make sure any thread on mounting miens that come on said rifle is aligned true to barrel should someone wish to fit one.

JMO as I really dislike threads that are created by outside reasons the posting persons are generally ignorant too stating blame that is incorrectly placed.

I’m all about the science and ballistics also. I’d like to hear your explanation of why the .25 is superior to the .30?
From a ballistics (physics) standpoint, IMHO, the .30 AEA 50.5 are a better choice than the AEA 29.5. I’m getting routinely about 0.072 GA with the .30 and about 0.060 GA with the .25. (BC)
Perhaps accuracy and precision are your deciding factors? Shooting .30 does have advantages such as being able to track the pellet flight better, and also to see the holes better in the target. Additionally, with a very slow twist .30 barrel such as 1:40, the “vertical jump” is less in quartering winds (it’s physics).

Click to expand...

Where BC is considered, I'm getting 0.071 with that AEA 29.5s across a 10 fps range from 970- 980 fps which is better than anything I've experienced in .30 cal. You obviously have found a similar node for the 50 grain.

Visually tracking the pellet in flight is not something I concern myself with in real time. I use video to analyze pellet flight when looking at a specific pellets characteristics. As the pellet and barrel designs have improved of late, I find less need to shoot highspeed videos because many of the mysteries of the past designs have thankfully disappeared.

I've not had the opportunity to shoot anything with a slower than 1/24 twist and none of what I have seen have I found particularly convincing. Clearly the evolution of the PCP field is leaning heavily towards slugs which as a by product has benefitted those of us whose interests lie primarily in the pellet world.

Lastly you mentioned "jump" deflection and how the .30 at the slower twist is less susceptible. That would then logically apply across the board in an apples to apples pellet design meaning that the inherently superior BC of the smaller projectile would still hold sway would it not?

Here’s my DNT Zulus 3-12 LRF. I really like it on my PROD. The hold is dead on.

Oh! I missed that! Okay, I'll buy at a ridiculous price if you're selling!

A friend of mine asked me for a front Gehmann adjustable aperture, he is 75 years old and still shoots seriously at 10m, I couldn't say no to him. The rear color diaphragm and diopter are on my HW30, I will not part with such a set until the day I die. The whole set cost $286 then, which is half the real price. I think real price is about 650.There was a thread about this sale on the forum.

Fly said:

That’s great to hear. The price is better than many others.The only down side I can see, is availability. Does not
seem to be many dealers ? Amazon carry,s some sizes, but they did not have 29.63 gram.

Never buy pellets from Amazon unless you like damaged pellets. They'll just throw the tins in a plastic shipping bag without any packing protection.

AlanMcD said:

@karl_h , I really like this graph and appreciate you posting it - I have been looking for something like it but had not found it before and did not feel like creating it myself. But I don't think you are interpreting it correctly . . . I'll explain it more thoroughly for everybody else to benefit too. I'll also add it to this post again so that it is in one spot to reference. Of course their intent in the chart is to show how very dry 200 and 300 bar air needs to be to prevent any risk of icing at freezing conditions

I know, been off the site a bit. One of those things you get sick and tired of repeating to people all the time, get in a hurry and get a bit backwards. It happens. Done the same thing in pb land with stuff I've repeated so many times you get sick of it and say something backwards. Oh well.

Ultralight said:

Well....let me add a question on complexity.

NOT including the electronics, is the Delta Wolf significantly simpler for users to maintain (i.e. o-rings) than the K1? Is there noticeably fewer parts?

Thanks!

Click to expand...

Can’t comment on k1 but the reg and valve on the DW are both easily accessible.

Solo1 said:

@ Motorhead why do you laugh? Ghost is much more dependable than an alpha or delta wolf and shoots just as accurately.

Click to expand...

The evidence of this claim ?? Electronics are pretty rock solid these days. Ghost after owning a DW I am sure is 100% great. My problem was used DW and used ghost sell for about the same price. Felt I got a lot more for my money in the DW.

I've purchased from AOA, but nothing Gehmann. I've picked up diopter stuff here and there from forum members and also some bits from Creedmoor Sports.

AOA sold these diopters at a ridiculous price a couple of years ago, as well as irises. I bought one in a set with two irises.

WittyWook said:

Out of curiosity - looking to see if anyone has developed a list of pellet BCs across different calibers.

Secondly, does anyone know if they are tested or listed by developers like Applied Ballistics?

Thanks

Have you looked here? https://airgunpelletdb.com/

Thank you for sharing your work and results. That N/F 4-20 looks awesome.

My Dreamline Classic with power plenum, 600mm barrel and Huma regulator is set up this way:

JSB Exact King Heavy .25 – 33.95 gr

Extreme Spread – 11 fps (1.2%)

Standard Deviation – 3.4

Average - 890 fps

Regulator set at 135 BAR. Getting 32 good shots from 230 Bar fill.

Click to expand...

I am trying to get to 870 fps on my Dreamline. Reg is set at 125. Pellets are Exact King 25.39 gr. I am getting 740 fps.
What did you set the hammer wheel at?
I am going to try 135.
Any other changes can be made to increase the power?

Thank goodnes it's not a lefty, I would be filled with hate! As it is I'm just a little green with envy.
