The mold you need will be for .510 and you'll need a push-through sizing die as well.
I'd recommend you save yourself the time, money and trouble and buy your slugs from Mr. Hollow Point. He casts pure awesome into every slug and you will be very happy with the quality of product he builds. I've had the opportunity to shoot hundreds of every style and weight slug in Mr. Hollow Points product line, and my personal favorites for the Texan LSSCF are the 255gr. HP attached below, the slug is perfect for 200yds and closer, but for distances beyond 200, the 385gr Macro-HP will let you reach out to insane distances like 600yards. I have also used the 385gr Macro on a hunt with Mr. HP and Uncle Ted, where I dropped a 250lb hog no problem.

I have hand cast alot of different slugs from 155gr on the light side, up to the 425gr Rebated Boattail from A.A.O. and nothing I have done comes close to the consistency and performance of Mr. HP's Pure Awesome.
Blue boxes are Mr. HP slugs
Green box hand cast AAO / 425gr RBHP

Valve pins for the .30 and less 24" available at The Pellet Shop. .35 you're out of luck.

Palmyra Sportsmen's Association (near Hershey, PA) - Field Target - Sunday, August 10, 2025

Our August rifle match is different than our other events. This is a 60 shot match and everyone will start shooting the course at the same time via a shotgun start. There will be a shooter's meeting at 9:15am. The match fee is $15. We shoot rain or shine.

• 8:00am - 9:15am - Registration and sight in
• 9:15am - Shooter's meeting
• 9:30am - Match begins

This will be a 60 target course, one shot per target, over 20 lanes, with 3 targets per lane.
Timers will be used.
There will be standing and kneeling lanes.

If we expect rain, we will instead setup on our covered range and use a 2 shot per target, 2 target per lane format.
We will only be setup for AAFTA field target; silhouette will not be setup during this event.

Here is a great video to start with, and Steve has another excellent follow up part 2 video. Tuning is almost too complicated a subject to really explain over a forum post so these videos will get you a nice baseline. One thing I would figure out is what liner you have, its likely you have a heavy liner if its setup for slugs and you got the rifle used. If you want to shoot pellets you might have to install an STX Standard Superior liner.


And for pellet suggestions I would try the JSB/FX 18g, 34g, and the H&N Barracuda 21g.

Love the implosion ..

I know him pretty well. He's ok, I wouldn't call him perfect as he sometimes forgets what he's up to. He runs a small HVAC business and works on airguns in his spare time (ha ha, like there's much of it). He also has some health issues that sometimes keep him from doing things, but he lives with it and moves on. But no complaints there.
I'm sure he didn't mean to snub you and just to be honest, he gets a lot of trade offers and sometimes can't even remember who asked what. He does a lot of tuning and tinkering and doesn't always follow messages well, ... which he should and will endeavor to perservere, and do better.
Lighten up a bit and remember, this is a hobby, it's supposed to be fun.

I'm posting this for Brian...

Hello all,

Just went through a tin of the .25 30.2 trying to find a tune. Given i was using a 500mm pellet liner, meh. I suspect a cz barrel or another liner might do better. Best results i could get came at 890 and that's not going to get me to adopt them. I'll give them another try when my 700 gets in.

What causes the barrel & bottle to not be more parallel to each other? Never seen it to that degree on a gun before. Just curious.

Nice work! I've been a hunter all my life, I have been hunting with a slingshot for the last several years... now I want to move into airguns. We have plenty to hunt here in south Florida, lots of invasives.

Yeah I checked and something like 30 min run time recommended. But I still do 1/2 fill from empty on my rifles. It let's the pump cool and I can check for leaks. If you're like me, I don't fill from empty all that much so it's a minor inconvenience, that helps save the compressor.

+1 on your thoughts Mike. My Airforce Escape UL fills that same niche for me. I have both the .22 and .25 barrels and swap them based on off season and on season. A 2300 psi fill will give me 18 shots at 40 fpe average in .22 cal and 10 shots at 60 fpe average in .25 cal. My buddy tank is a converted Condor tank with a fill station attached and will refill the Escape in the field at least twice.

I have recently noticed 50% off sales of Airforce rifles from some vendors which makes me wonder if Airforce is about to release some new rifles in the near future?

I will not give in to a newer version no thanks lol. They’re really wonderful guns with awesome warranty

The Brocock Bantam Hi-Lite has been described as a 'semi-bullpup'; in my opinion the best of both worlds, that really shines for offhand shooting.

Yes like that, ones that are adjustable to go around the air line next to the fittings. I'm still looking.

Is it the New .905 27 coil one or the .860 spring. Use a new Vac seal. They are sized well for R1 and will shoot in fast.

Make sure to lightly ease the bottom outside rails of the shoe before install, a tiny file works to micro flatten them

ALSO YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO RELIEVE A TINE BIT OF MATERIAL ON THE REAR OF THE COCKING HOOK TO ALOW THE NEW SHOE TO INSTALL AND ROTATE DURING COCKING. View attachment 582709
take just enough so the shoe lays flat and come on and off ..YOU WILL NEED A SMALL BELT SANDER OR 1 inch grinding wheel

yes sir and thank you... i just did that on another r10 but that one was in 177. as for the kit ... this is the one i just got

for regular firearms I use the "Blue book".. VAC up there is showing there is one for airguns as well.

Walmart - GPHP (gamo premier hollow points. Formality known as crosman premier hollow point) ..

Walk in grab a tin or 2 everyday low priced and shoot great ( in my stuff)

Try these guys:


HWA-4012 is the size you need. Do not buy a bajillion of these in a kit for $10 from Amazon - the ones in their kits are too thick, and are more like 2.5mm than 1.5mm.

I just went out and measured OD and H on my Dreamline bottle's dowty seal to be sure.

Taking these recommendations I have ordered a couple more cans of pellets in various weights, keep trying different ones.

Yes but 8.5mm OD springs seem to be rare. The P35X spring uses 1.3 mm wire but is shorter than the P35 with 1.2mm wire.

But 60 fpe from a 25 caliber inexpensive airgun seems OK.

I've seen it mentioned a few times lately where others have claimed Crosman parts are made in China

What did the plastic tubing on the barrel do ?

They are everywhere here. Have to fence everything in that has to do with landscape decor or it’s eaten. Super annoying and they paw the snow up in winter to get to the grass and pummel my lawn. To the point I want to basically take them all out but they are so tame , no challenge and could maybe use meat from one per year so we deal with it.

Got this one last night, right in the fusebox. Another messy one, as evidenced by the gray matter next to the body. The Polymags make quite the hole. But there’s never any doubt it was quick and painless, which is my ultimate goal, even for rats

Welcome aboard!
