Very glad to see you got that refund.

In my 'Krale and UPS Import Tariff??' thread, UPS said via email my $860 tariff on the $537 Snowpeak P35X was valid and obligated to pay.

They also told me if I refused delivery, I would not be liable for that tariff. I refused delivery yesterday, and gun is heading back to Krale. Not quite sure what will happen next.... hopefully only a restocking fee.

I tried a bunch of different weights and couldn't find any that grouped well enough for me. I turned up the power and got better results but still not what I wanted. PJ at DonnyFL said they had the best results with the 52gr AEA slugs.

Thank you Marvin.

My local Dive Shop recommended a very reputable SCBA and Scuba Certification Shop. They charge $72 and thoroughly inspect the tanks. Py Barker in Raleigh is doing my hydro test. I spoke to the owner and he can/will do my 4500 psi Great White.

Ironically, my 5-year cert was due December 2024. My Dive Shop caught it recently in filling my tank and told me they can’t fill it until I get it certified. NP, you don’t mess around with HPA, so I’m glad for the reminder.

Just wanted to update this thread.

I did get my Great White 9L CF tank recertification. Good for 5 years and it was rigorously tested and inspected. $54.

Additionally I purchased a new 6L CF Tuxxing tank from Ali Express with a 3-year CE certification. No Department of Transportation ( DOT ) on this tank. However my Dive Shop will fill to 4500 psi because the Tuxxing tanks have a good rep.

I was interested in whether the label is definitional. Both PCP and HPA appear to operate according to the same systems, and IIRC the difference is operating pressure. I wonder if the distinction is relevant?

Given the current state of airgun design, I really don't think there's a major difference between the two. There are plenty of HPA guns out there that are running at pressures over 1100 psi and plenty of airguns with their regulators set below 1500 psi.

To me the only significant difference is that most HPA guns were originally designed for CO2 and have parts that aren't made for higher pressures.

I put my $120 turd compressor through a lot of work every week I feel a 2 L tank twice a week and a couple guns that both have 300 cc tanks. And I've been doing this for 8 months now after about 6 months I regreased the crank just to try to keep it going longer so they can be good you just got it take care of them I never let mine go past 45 degrees Celsius

I have a Vevor I bought in DEC and I don't let mine get above 40 and use it to direct fill my PCPs, I have 3 30min SCBA tanks I keep filled with my GX CS4. The only problem I have had with the Vevor is the pressure gauge lost accuracy.

The target is about 14yds if memory serves. I think it's around 30deg for the angle.

WorriedMan · May 15, 2025

Recently watched a marketing video from Topa Manufacturing, a PCP filling parts provider, regarding their HPA handpumps. Stated they're able to place customer labels on pumps and ship in unmarked boxes to be labelled by seller. Suspect a high-end airgun dealer and a budget one would price these identical pumps differently, the high-end customer hoodwinked into paying more for a "superior" handpump. Could be same thing going on here. WM

Well, I better knock off my pellet snobbery, these 22.07g JTS shoot fantastic at about 900fps out of this FX 600mm superlight barrel !

It was great wind conditions this morning (rain coming), so I jumped out early to see if yesterday's first card with JTS in the PP was a fluke...

... insane results! Look at the 3 sighters (then dropped 2 clicks on scope and started shooting card) and then these 20 shots - freaking amazing.

Leaderboard Submission:
Target: 40-Masters 199 12X [edit 198 12X]
Rifle: .22 FX PowerPup with 600mm superlight barrel
Pellet: JTS 22.07g at 900fps (888-914)
Scope: Sightron SII 36x fixed power target scope

I don't know why the extreme spread is not tighter, perhaps because I have the FX Chrono balanced on the pellet tins and it moves a bit when the rifle fires?

In any case, the 195 yesterday and 199 this morning are the best two first cards at 40-Masters that I ever had with a pellet. I gotta bring this PowerPup to my brother's house and see how these JTS 22.07s do at 75 yards.

I just checked before posting this - this 199 12X is the best 40-Masters card that I ever shot - beating a 199 11X in 2024 with the .22 Crown and a 198 15X in 2024 with the PowerPup.

You can see from the picture that the wind "flags" were just hanging for most of the card. The rifle is incredibly quiet at this power level. If I weighed these JTS, I could actually see a 200 40-Masters as possible.... but I ain't weighing - not that important to me. I have a stupid deer that I have to keep chasing away from my wind flags - it likes to play with them and knocks them over!

[Edit: guess I was too excited scoring - double checked 6a - it’s a 9. Submitting as 198 12X]

Dang!

That Power pup likes the 22.07g pellets! Super high score Ed, sweet! You’re on fire at 40y. Keep it going!

Jay308 · May 15, 2025

I say pick something other than FX. BRK, RAW, Taipan, AGT

thane · May 15, 2025

Off for now ,

Thanks

SMH · May 15, 2025

I love seeing you excited about shooting again! While my work consists of me shooting several times a week, man if it isn’t relaxing to sling lead in a nice, quite ,accurate air rifle!

Ratzy · May 15, 2025

Yeah, mine supposed to arrive Tuesday.
Slugs have been waiting for months to be uselessly expended at high speed.

Ratzy · May 15, 2025

Turns out it doesn't matter, or I'm dumb.

If I try to hot swap bottles it blows the oring out and leaks all the air when I screw it down. Which makes sense.

My assumption is no hot swapping the reximex.

IHatePaper · May 15, 2025

2 packages arriving from Wes next week! Weight exceeds the accessories I bought recently - assume it’ll be a new gun day

AlanMcD · May 15, 2025

I recall reading once that FX uses two different bottle valves, so they can vary by gun or generation . . .

I don't have one, but I do have a Western Airguns Sidewinder that I might get another bottle for someday - I don't know which one they take either . . .

rodjava · May 15, 2025

I'm still experimenting for the best slug tune for the .30 cal RP.
I have 3 different hammer weights and 2 different springs, as well as 6 different boat tail slugs to ty out.
