Yeah this is interesting stuff.

One time in particular I tuned my Thomas HPX for the lowest ES I could but guess what happened - it lost precision by about half at 50y.

I had to start over again and fiddled with it until the precision came back again to a previous level. The ES was decent but not as tight as it was at its highest.

Also I think all these metrics must be balanced together for optimal results.
That might or might not be clocking at TDC or lowest ES, or, or, or...

I used to ladder test my long range centerfires at 330y by adjusting powder weight. Sometimes I'd get 2 or 3 shots touching or close to it, however not all the time was the optimal load the most precise at 100y, but the load was very good/good enough at any distance. Was it the lowest ES, no.
Was it the most precise at 100y, no, but this load was a winner because it was consistently good in all aspects, or in other words the best compromise.

I order from aliexpress. It's $6.59 free shipping for set of 10.

I recently purchased the Marauder 22 with the LW barrel (non-regulated) and am wondering which pellets those who have the same set up get the best accuracy with. I have JSB 18.13 and CPHP 14.3 already so hopefully it will really like one or both of these. Let me know your guns favorite.

I recently bought the same rifle, but a custom tuned version from AirGun Revisions. I've been using the 18.13 grain JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy (my go to pellet), JSB Exact Heavy 15.89 grain, and JSB Hades 15.9 grain. They're all good, but my most consistent shots are with the 18.1s and the Hades.

Just a few notes, I had a bad valve so, got a new improved one then I followed the video and it's pretty good, the pusher/pipe Matthew used was Schedule 40 1" PVC, it's a perfect fit, about 18" long works well. I used a bit of my beloved Mobile 1 on the outside, just for lubrication. I also lubed every darn bolt, as well as anything that even looked as it if might move, straighten the trigger right up. Getting the new valve in was, fun. It wasn't going in gracefully so, I did applied force, i.e. a BFH Big F'n Hammer, a large dead blow hammer...look it up. A piece of of wood under the pentium, a piece on top of the valve and a few taps and off and off and running. Again I lubed EVERYTHING, reassembly went well, except for moment of panic, note to self, self GET A LIGHT to see the one screw hole you missed. Got it back together, snugged up the tension the barrel a touch, net result is....an improvement of my SD from 6, bad valve to 1 SD with AEA 30.9 slugs. Still need to do a touch more tuning, the slugs want to go faster than 960, up around 1020 or so.

It's a bit weird that he'd have you go to their place to buy a stolen gun. Where did you see the scratched off SN??

If it were the same item and the price between the 2 (including tax & shipping) were close the choice would be Amazon.
- quick delivery
- easy returns
- just a phone call away

Plus, Jeff Bezos needs the money more than Mr. Pingy Shins

For your .177, .20, and .22 pellets you can use shotgun primer boxes. For .177 pellets the JSB Premium containers should work well too.

Good question .., they had a player deal last year on pellets.. hopefully something good again..

Click to expand...

Yea, last year they had some good deals on FX pellets and FX air rifles from what I remember. This year I saw the discounted rates range from 4% - 25% off.

Ok cool. Considering I want to run slugs for WRABF 50m. It will be needed then. Cheers.

I have the same setup, exactly! As far as I’m concerned, this innovation makes the Maverick the easiest airgun to tune AND the avg velocity, std deviation and high/low velocity were soooo dramatically improved! This is a “no brainer” for sure if you own a Maverick or Wildcat!!!

I think most run dialled back as full power is crazy fast / supersonic for most stuff.. I am running 165BAr and hammer pretty much all the way turned out (min) and getting 1000 FPS on 50.5 grainers. IF I tuned hammer in and reg to 200 I think I would be 1100+ easy

Yeah both of mine are dialed way back, even with slugs. Really, they make too much power if you ask me. Unless you need to hunt close range with heavy slugs from like a blind or something I suppose.

love edgun

Would you want to share your shroud parts file?

It's nice of you to offer this. I'm more than happy with what I have now, but I'd still appreciate seeing pictures. It's certainly interesting for everyone else, too. Please post pictures here in the forum so everyone can see them.

EDgun - EDgun Leshiy Classic L1 > spring plunger trigger modification ?

I have been looking at doing the 2-stage like trigger mode to my Leshiy Classic. Could someone who has done this mode please tell me if there are two screws involved or just one, and the actual specifications for the screw(s). Is this it?

Thanks, just ordered off Amazon.

If you need one, let me know. I don’t need 20 of them

Does anybody else think it's amazing to abuse a TX200 like that. I've only seen one and it's the most beautifully made AG still available new? Anecdote: Henry Ford II used to hunt ducks with a Purdey shotgun, left it in the water in the bottom of the duck boat!

That's because he never had to work for anything. Born into money.

Does if fold though?

I don't think so, but from the looks of it, it should take AR accessories, so it could easily done.

Thank you, I figured it was too long, I like it shorter around 320-325 mm

Click to expand...

Mine is the Huntsman Revere Safari. But measured right at about 350/ 13¾"

Bonus pic, unzipped the filled pouch so you can see my 2 plastic containers in there.
One ( top ) hold chrono / spare batteries for it and a little tools and oil / grease, the other ( bottom ) hold 6 tins of pellets / slugs, at least 400 in each.
That most often will tie me over for a summer weekend at the range. 6 X 400 = good times.

I also travle with a full set of spares, O-rings and regulators / valves ASO, no break down is gonna ruin a range day for this crusty old pea shooter.
I just need to find a new way to carry my picks CUZ you cant go without those either, but for now i will have to due to the shoulder harness / pouch issue.
O i of course also have a cleaning rod following each rifle like the spare parts, when you shoot this much a on range cleaning or umpteen are warranted i think.

I have mailed Huma wit what i think are issues with this bag.

BUT ! never the less i will be taking the bag to the range tomorrow, i hope it shoulder well CUZ it is heavy for a crusty old guy with back and appendage problems.

I received my Notos from PA less than a month ago. With Firewalkers help, I got a moderator insert and two magazines from member Tango Sierra. It shoots very well at the 25 yards I have in my backyard, with a good number of groups about 5/16". Best pellet I have found is the JSB Hades, followed by the H&N Terminator, and lastly the Predator Polymag Shorts. The regular length Predator Polymags did not work in the factory magazine, but I may eventually try them using the single shot tray. Ted Bier also recommended the NSA .217 23 grain slug. I had a 23 grain slug sampler from NSA and shot the .216, .2165, .217, .2175, and .218 23 grain. The .217 23 grain was the best, but the .2165 was very close. By far, the best slug in my gun was the 22 grain Varmint Knockers I bought on Fleabay. At 14 cents apiece, though, you may as well be shooting a .22 rimfire, so it's not a slug for plinking. The FX Hybrid shot acceptably, but are also on the expensive side. The CPHP did not shoot too well out of my Notos.

Click to expand...

Great pellet rundown! For my Notos the Predator Polymags (full length) have been the best for me. After that the H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66 gr and then the JSB Match Exact Jumbo Express Diabolo 14.35gr. The only slugs I've shot so far is the H&N Slug HP .217 21Gr

Shelleen posting for Brink,

Another very small turnout for our November match. Getting into the winter months with the colder weather isn't very attractive for some shooters, especially as we get older.

I’m down in Lafayette. There are few guys down here and we’re going to try to put some kind of shoot together in the spring.

I had the best FedEx driver for 5 years, then the independent company she drove for, sold the fleet and canned them all.

The new driver is somewhat capable but lacks a personality.

Four truck tires arrived Monday late, he put them on the sidewalk off of the driveway, I appreciate that.
