Rod, you need to start weighing the slugs.
Maybe run them through a re-sizing die as well.
Too many fliers.

yes i thought that but this one works the best , beating donny and ODB by a noticeable amount .

I have made some home brews that are quieter than a comparably sized donny. The common denominator is plastic construction. Try a yokozuna or Ryu tho. It's a whole new ballgame. These things are efficient and built like real suppressor baffles.

Yes it will work.

If it doesn't make a sonic crack it's not going that 1250 fast. But let's just use 850 fps as your velocity. With your 7.8 grain pellet hypothetically traveiling at 850 fps you have 12.51 foot pounds of muzzle energy. So you're already better off that most brits or Germans. My friends and I have found it takes as little as 1.5 foot pounds for some small rodents at closer ranges like yours. Or 300 fps with your pellet.

Have fun.

Good, and thank you for the reply. I still have to chronograph my rifles, but think it was going at least 850 fps.
I haven't seen any fresh moved dirt in the area so have to think I got him. In fact I'm sure I saw impact on the back of it's beady little skull, but everything from that point forward happened Fast I was left second guessing myself.

I got out my 0.22 Cayden yesterday and found that it lost all it's air over the winter. So I pump it up to 2800 psi per both my pump and gun gauges and found a leak from around the threads of the foster fitting. I took the fitting off and wrapped teflon tape around the threads and pumped it back up to 2800 psi per my pump gauge and checked the fitting and found no more leak, yay!! But then I looked at the gauge on the gun and it only showed 2000 psi and seems to be holding steady at that pressure. Why would this happen all of a sudden? The gun gauge worked fine until I wrapped the foster threads to fix the leak. Thoughts???

I have a Kratos and an Akela. A friend has a Kratos. None of the on-board gauges agree with any other gauge either of us has available. I sometimes want to replace the really, really cheap factory gauges but, most times my attitude is "why bother."

I'd rather see you try a couple different calibers.. like if you were using 22 caliber..I use 217.. but if you are not happy with it then if it was 22 caliber I'd try 216,2165,2175 etc..sorry I'm not familiar with the sizes available in 177 so I gave the examples in my caliber..
now I don't know what barrel you have.. pellets do better with a choke, slugs will work with both but are much better without a choke..
because of everything I have read, I personally would never polish a barrel.. too many people ruin them.. and basically you are going to remove more rifling than land.. so it's basically in my opinion like shooting a firearm thousands of rounds.. and at some point your barrel is just shot out..
just my stupid 2 cents.

Was bored today so set out some golf balls at @ 175 yards. Using NSA 26 slugs shooting at 8X on scope it took @ 6.1 mil-dots of hold over to reach out there accurately at @ 875 fps
Had 4 balls sitting there, hit all 4 in 11 shots. If target was bunny size ? we would likely have 11 bunnies ... Yes that accurate once dope was figured out.

next springs belding squirrel season seem like a long long time to wait

Peashooter · May 8, 2025

Yeah i was a bit amazed i did not see any lead.
It was just on a limb not like i had seem ny shooting deteriorate other than what i can with comfort blame on the wind.

I have shot pretty much all slugs in that period but those 3 weights primarily, even pushed 24 gr Zan slugs over 1000 fps and for the hell of it sometimes after shooting heavy put in a light to hear the super sonic crack.

Normally i " ram " a patch on the end of a CF rod down through my barrel, 5 - 7 of those do the job, it is only at the range i use my DIY pull through with patches on it, CUZ i can not be bothered taking off the barrel at the range for that, but at home i always do that.

I have for a while used 1" patched folded over a few times on a 3 mm CF rod, but i now use a 4 mm CF rod and 3/4" patches not folded over.

BTW later in the year i will modify the tip of my CF ram rod, i feel i can add a little ( spray lacquer or paint ) to get a slightly larger diameter and get tighter fit.
I think + 0,1 - 0.2 mm larger diameter will not harm.

Also ! i will get a box of the Zan painted slugs, but just use them as a shoot to clean solution,,,,,, well at least i hope so, they better not fly a lot better CUZ then my ammo budget go up

To be clear... Can any scope be used on a PCP air rifle?

Yes as long as it fits. PCPs dont put out anywhere near the 750Gs that I see scopes rated for. I question if they even put out 1G

If you need it for night hunting especially dealing with coyote at night or rats just go for it.
But darn, it still pricy even with discount.

WorriedMan · May 7, 2025

Not an unheard of phenomenon, reason why many use a next higher caliber moderator than airgun. Never a problem with moderators that came from factory for my AGT and FX airguns, can't say same for aftermarket ones. WM

I've never had creep on any of my Huben Power regulators. I have at least 6, cricket, dream universal, Max-ATH. Once I set them they stay. I did have an AliExpress knockoff Huben (before I discovered the real Huben Power) cricket that did drift but nothing like you are seeing. Maybe 100-200 psi.

My oldest is on a Hatsan Barrage. Dream Universal that has been set for 2500psi for probably 18 months.

If it continues you need to contact Nick Scott at Huben Power, [email protected]
He has always been helpful.

I hope it works well for you.

I had a self-inflicted issue with a Saber Tactical product. Left them a message over the weekend and they called first thing Monday morning. In my personal experience, their Customer Service is top shelf.

that mount looks like it go's all the way 360 degrees around the tube , on my gun the mount can only extend up about 60 % of the barrel , I think i can trim to fit .
worth a try Thanks

These are uncensored targets with the EQ @ 50 yards. Start to finish for the morning, it was probably about 30 minutes shooting time for everything. I wasn't messing around with settings while shooting, or pausing long between shots. The settings were: Hammer 1.5, regulator 2300-2400psi. Ammo was aea 52.2 master slugs. I dont sort the ammo, i use the magazine. The worst looking sheet with 8 groups was aea 50.5 gr pellets( bottom right). I did switch to pellets for a few mags then went back to slugs and knocked out the green paper target. All of the groups were 5 shots. Started top left and worked down. Good luck guys. Next time I will mess with settings and try to dial it in, if that's even possible idk?
View attachment 560853 View attachment 560855 View attachment 560854 View attachment 560856

52.2 aea slugs 2200psi on the regulator and less than 1 on the hammer.

Last week a TX200 .177 This week HW77 .22 both kill pest Squirrels just fine .

Bob-in-WV · May 7, 2025

I would clean the rust off and if I had it on my table at a show, I would price it at $350 and go down until it sold. That is assuming it still works.

He said .25 cal TH. If all you're going to shoot is 30 yards I'd recommend just shooting pellets. Anything less than 75 yards pellets are more accurate IMHO.

I did miss that. Still not sure I'd venture much past 25gr
