No idea about the barrel, just bought it used. Shot off bench with bipod and just opened a tin, not lubed or sorted. 0 wind

We should form a 100 yard .177 only EBR match.
That would be awesome.

PCP Rifle  SOLD FX Impact M3

.22 600mm, factory stock (except for carbon fiber barrel sleeve and first reg delete. Well kept, filled with breathable dry air. Looking for $1600. Reason for selling...thinning the herd. I also might be putting an FX Boss up for sale? Just don't shoot it much. Honest buyers with good reps preferred. Local WPB even better.

30-Yard Challenge

Thanks for the kind comments.

For S_Gru, Tommy's comments should carry more weight than mine, he shoots better. But I do not have the patience to shoot totally off bags. Repositioning for each shot is just not something I want to do. With yesterday's target I have now shot a grand total of 3 200s, one each of the last three years. So I've done it but cannot consider myself at the upper level of this. Two of my 200s were with a front bipod and a rear monopod that adjusts for windage and elevation. I believe Ed uses a nicer version of this method of supporting his airguns. I'll include a picture of my home made version. The only a little bit complicated fabrication technique is to weld all threaded rod couplers together. My latest 200 was done with a Caldwell Rock BR front rest and a rear bag, I think the exact same one pictured by Tommy. That front rest was about $125 when I bought it. It adjusts for height and elevation nicely. It does not have the slop in the threads of my home made monopod. If you are patient bags alone clearly work. If you want to be able to mechanically realign the scope for the shots that can be done at either the front or the rear of the gun,

Youtube channel critique ideas

You might want to look a bit deeper in YouTube's policies.
I know that Rick (owner of the GTS Forum) has had issues with YouTube not wanting to host some of his airgun related review videos. I don't know the whole story for the reasons. I only know what he has reported. I do know that there are many, many airgun reviews on YouTube so I don't know why he has trouble at times. He does alot of his stuff on Vimeo now.
I have personally posted casting videos on YouTube without issue.

Testing AM/Corbin slugs

I shot the Corbin 40.1 and 33 grain in .217 and .218 last night - just a brief test no real tuning.

The 40.1 were very impressive. Shooting my front bottle Panthera 600 at 50 yards all four groups averaged sub MOA including an 8 shot .539 MOA (going for a 10 shot group but ran out of reg) and five shot .551 MOA.

I do not know the velocity because the pocket Chrono would not pick them up. If I go by the velocity of the Dead Lead 43gr at 920, I would say the Corbin‘s were going 950. But I could be wrong.

They look to be very high-quality and well packaged. They have ‘lots of lube’.
I ordered 1000 more from Utah last night.

Oh yes, I almost forgot the 33gr… neither were exciting but to be fair I only shot them at 1010fps. No other tuning. They are just a standard slug like all the other companies are making.

What pistol did you shoot today

Up to the Post Office to return a Daisy 200 BB gun to eBay…these guns are un- repairable when they leak from the valve assembly…do not buy these unless you need a paper weight for your desktop…unless you know seal kits are available then you are safer to make the buy..most of them are marked as no returns or untested

Taipan  Taipan Slash first tuning report.

I've been watching the videos put out by Taipan and everyone of them says to degass the gun before making any adjustments, but they never remove the air tank! Does this air tank NOT have a valve in it? Can it be removed and hot swapped while under pressure? Seems to me it can't which seems odd. With only a 300cc tank, it would be nice if it could be swapped with a full tank when on gets below reg pressure to save having to have a large tank or portable compressor in the field.
There isn't a valve and almost no room for one either as they have the bottle almost touching in the front. Also the bottle has no room to be unscrewed unless the air has been let out of the rifle as the butt stock that it attaches to has to be rotated to allow the bottle to be unscrewed. This can only rotate without air.

I don't think you can. But, I've just emailed Marek Děngl who owns/runs Taipan and Balistas with this question.

30-Yard Challenge

This one is for the leader board. I think it is a 200 16X shot with my Stoeger Bullshark in 22 caliber using my Vector Sentinel 8-32 set at 32 X. I was shooting AEA 18.3 grain pellets about 820 fps. This is the third target I shot with exactly the same setup today, the first is above and the second one was a 197. In between I shot two with FX 18.1 grain, a 195 11X and a 193 11X. So the AEAs definitely shoot a little better. At least these tins of AEA and FX. I am quite pleased to finally get a 200 this year. The weather report says there was a 3 mph wind but it had shifted to coming almost straight east to west this evening. That is better for me because I am then shooting right into the wind. One of my wind flags was still moving around a bit but after a few shots going right were I was aiming I figured out I could ignore the small movements sideways. I never moved off the 10 ring so the shots were still OK.

This gun was a gift from another member. I think he got frustrated with it because he could not adjust the regulator from the gauge end of the gun. The locking nut would turn the adjustment screw because the threads were messed up. I spun the stem in the nut while I watched TV one night until the threads smoothed up. But I've been adjusting it from the other end because I can then measure the overall length which gives me an idea what the setting is. The regulator is set a bit low but it gives me easily two targets on a fill with extra shots for sighting in. At least 60 shots. Plus it is accurate and plenty powerful enough for squirrels. Nice gift. I shoot it in the cherry stock I used to use on the P35-22.
