Strelok has a mode called "MRD Calculator". I zero at 54 yards as that's that mode shows is best.
Enter the radius of the trajectory height for vital zone that you want, mine is set at 5/8", and it will tell you recommended zero in my case:
Zero 54 yards
Max Point Blank Range (MPBR) 61 yards
Near Zero 24 yards
It does all the work for you.
Easy!

I have a Benjamin G392 (with Racine,WI address) with serial number
D94705236.

I bought this gun new in 1995, so I assume the build date is 1994. Perhaps July 1994. Not sure what the “D” in the serial number means.

Nice gun, "D" is for December

15 F out this morning and looks like below freezing temperatures are here to stay until March - definitely indoor shooting season!

I have a couple of airguns (including a FWB 603) that I use for entertainment over the long, cold Canadian winter.

...Got to go, they are waiting for me down stairs

TTYL!

Yea the stock is really cool.

I also have a 10x side focus and a 12x. I like both, but the 12x is just a bit clearer than the 10x. I had a previous 10x, not side focus, and it was a bit fuzzy, but otherwise worked well. I sold it and kept the two I have now. They are great scopes, and I'm a big fan of fixed power scopes, having several 10x models. My 12x is as clear as any scope I've owned and the 10x is ever so slightly less clear. It's not a huge issue, it's noticeable when using them one after another. Tracking on them is phenominal, and never an issue. My 10x is the new gen2 and my 12x is the first gen. I have a Hawke Airmax 10x, a Vector Veyron 10x, an Optisan EVX 10x and the two SWFA scopes. I would rate the SWFA in last place, but I have to premise that remark, the others are that good. The surprising part is the Veyron, it is crystal clear, tracks perfectly and is a joy to use. The really nice part of the Veyron, is it is roughly half the price of the SS scopes. So, in that respect, I'd say SWFA needs to up their game there. I have two Veyrons, and one is a 3-12x. They are both compact scopes, but it amazes me that when I measured the clicks and tracking, and repeatability, they both were easily the equal of the SWFA, DEAD ON! Which for a scope that costs less than $200 for the 10x is also amazing. I like the SWFA, but I think recent offerings from overseas are outpacing them to a certain degree.

Thank You All
FYI
I got my Tatsu in and installed it on my .22 Impact Compact. Compared to the FX Moderator that comes with the 600mm and up, I think the FX Moderator is quieter. They both do a good job, but to my ears the perceived sound is quieter with the FX moderator.

Here is a blast from the past
The Wicked Monster slug shot best at 1004-1007 FPS but fell apart when shot above 1010 FPS

@steve123 How is the stability of the center column? Is it less stable the taller you deploy it?

Click to expand...

It doesn't seem to be less stable though I don't have to extend it very tall for use off of a 3 gallon bucket. I extended the legs and the center column for shooting while standing once when I first got it and it was very stable considering it's not a tripod.

The center column locks up tight without any movement because it's pretty much the same tension collar system used in the legs.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure how or what I want to do after disassembling it, I just like to know how to do it.

The results are in...
@LessMundane and I tied for the "Real" target shooting challenge. Here is the updated bragging rights list:

Thanks for the advice.

Ranchibi, is that a camera rest under your grip? I have not seen anything like that for rifles, but have seen some for cameras.

I just got that exact version delivered yesterday. I'm getting 30 shots on the reg. (Set @ 120 bar) which isn't great, but it's more than enough for some long range squirrel sniping.

Hope your pellets come in ok !
The Eley Tenex pellets don't really come in a "tin".
They come in a 3 compartment plastic storage box and are securely packed in there.
Would be much harder to damage them packed like this than if they were in a conventional "tin".
I got some from Creedmore Sports a while back. Only shot a few so far but the initial results were good.

Yeah as said above it's 16mm ish
LW web site has them at .63 & some in SS at .71
The receiver blocks are at .625 ish +/-

need one...

Might want to check the twist rate in your barrel because no amount of anything will fix a longer slug sent out of a slow twist barrel meant for pellets.

Slugs got to be a snug fit in the grooves as well. If proud .005 to .001 inch that's a good thing.

Slug shape design and where the CG is affects flight characteristics. Some aren't optimal, some are better.

Things have to be right or else.....

After a few more try's I'd look into a different barrel and if not in love with the gun then get another one better suited for slugs.

LOOK UP ... JOHN IN PA

others out east should be able to get you his contact info

Want to tighten things up and not touch a thing, use some AEA's . A few grains will slow you down to the 900 range but it should help you.

That's a pretty one

Good shooting.
I think I will get my P17 out.

As many of these guns around like the pp800/bandit that info would be all over the place but it's not .. even guy here at forums don't want to tell . Just amazing to me ..

I swear, I'lll pay more attention this time

I think Evolution trigger is Mk3 and uses 2 O rings for the piston seal.

Just saw this on Ebay. Thought SOMEONE might be needing a tank or 2. $100 for TWO tanks is pretty sweet.

Gerry , thanks for the heads up, i purchased them for a buddy of mine that wants to get into pcp, roger

These pics must be pre game as no one looks dirty or mad HAHA! Awesome!

The maximum pressure of a particular Belleville stack is a pretty straightforward calculation if we know the washer's flat rating and the piston's dimensions (its end diameters). The minimum pressure is then somewhere in the ballpark of half the max.

So for your particular regulator, the 0.4mm thick Bellevilles are a dimensional match to McMaster 96445K211 and 96475K211. These have a flat rating of 59-64lbs, so we're talking about 120lbs for nested pairs. Running the calculation for the Impact/Crown reg (4mm / 7mm piston) says it would top out around 210bar. The min is about half the max so we're talking about a range of 105-210, meaning this configuration (#2) is not appreciably different from #3.
