It would be interesting to see what ammo was used by each participant heading into the final round? I’m guessing not many ( if any?) were shooting pellets given the stellar reputation and performance of .40g slugs In .22 airguns.

Just a side observation…

I don’t own a slug capable .22 air rifle ( pellets only ), but I shoot a fair amount of N50 yard practice cards with good quality .22 caliber JTS and AEA pellets, and the heavier .40g slugs are just too good at 50y or 50M Vs. pellets. For that matter, this is also true at 100Y and beyond.

It’s nice to be participating in a hobby that has a great slug ammo solution for 50, 100Y ( and beyond) shooting disciplines, other than just using pellets.

Just fo illustrate an example of slugs vs. Pellets. Zoom in to the top of the 40Y Masters Leaderboard.

Mike’s Slug gun shooting .38g slugs, 200-19X, shooting 40 Yards outside at a .125” minuscule 10 ring. First ever 40Y Masters 200 score since the thread started in Feb 2022.

I know it’s not 50Y/50M, but it does factually illustrate the slug advantage, to me anyway.

Also, check out the 55Y 198-13X score with .38g slugs.

Sent Patriot in SA an email asking about Gen 1 / .218" / 30 gr.. They responded and said "they have 30 packets left, but don't ship abroad."
Well dang..

I know a pretty good stand in. Im still shooting g1 26gr. I know where to get them.

These expand just like the javelins. .
They come in
2175 and 30, 34, and 40gr only. very high BC. Shoot incredible from my impact .22




SPAWeapons.com has some g1 javs as well as utah air, but neither have the .218 30. UA has the g1 217 30... only difference between g1 and g2 are probably the quality and dish base.

Milksatx, why did you put a smaller capacity bottle on that weighs more than the stock bottle?

Only a oz diff and it fits my shooting stick yoke. The Airmaks bottle to big around.

Fantastic tune and group Derrick!

BTW the big hit is the fact that the de minimis exemption on orders under $800 was ended. We were getting imports duty free. (Krales)
It's killed the cheap "direct from China" eBay stuff you could buy as well.
How will this play out? Will there be exemptions? IDK
Contact a congressman or two.
But Do not go to a "mostly peaceful protest".

Best thing to do is contact a legislator and lobby for exemptions!
Do it now before the "de minimis exemption" executive order takes effect on the 29th of August.

Is it a discontinued gun?

If you mean the LP3 Match on the bay, yes, discontinued decades ago. Possibly the finest Co2 pistol ever mass produced.

My gosh you do good work!

Thank you!

I have only shot 100 yards one time with my HW97 .177 FTT's . I was at the range shooting 50 yard Bench rest . guys there challenged me to shoot 100 . The range has set up a KYL (sort of ) . Made up of cast iron fry pans , 8 inch /6 inch /5 inch and a 3 inch . I believe the wind actually helped with the 3 incher , blowing my miss into a hit hahaha . I went back the next day and took 8 shots it hit the 3 inch pan again .
I do not hunt over 30 to 50 yards , most 50 yards get a pass .

This type has worked for me. After several years, I've never seen a squirrel defeat it. Plenty have hopped on, but their weight shuts the feed door. Sometimes, if one is persistent, a permanent fix may be needed, but I haven't lost any feed to them.

Wow, I never said anything about being scared, are you having a mental break down? I guess the Darwin award goes to you, congrats you won

Yes to the mental breakdown.

Wow! Thanks a lot. Awesome info!
Mine is the one without the weight so I'm good to go.

I just got a power plenum for my impact x and got the new rod in the kit

Toolbox investment

Well no help from Daisy or JG. the biggest problem is bad leakage at co2 piercing . there are no seal just piercing needle. Thanks for any help

Mine is not modified other than the moderator attached.

QSY 0pellets look good on #1 paper and 1and 6 bulls .

The low-mid tier optics are often an exercise in "glass lottery" with some being great and others terrible. The good thing about buying a Venom is if you ever have any problems Vortex will take care of it.

Those are some tiny targets. Distance? Caliber? Velocity?

Nice shot, that's reaching out there..

Sounds good, I appreciate it!!!!

Appreciate it! Mine actually came in the mail today. So far it appears to have filled up nicely so far. I have not tested it yet, I will update you/this post when I do. I just wanted to fix the confusion as I did not notice... the tank photo I provided had a built in male intake as mine does not.

Deleted the post so I would not double post... Wanted to update and say that it has worked great so far. Hooked up to the rifle (I need a longer cord) and it seemed to have worked flawlessly. Thank you and everyone else for their help. Time to upgrade the rifle itself!
