Interesting. I for one am not going back to JSBs. All my guns prefer the JTS 18gr definitely over the JSBs. And consistency wise is not even a competition. I haven't noticed any difference in barrel cleanliness out of my guns. And hardness wise I wouldn't say they are CPHP hard. They are more in line with H&N which falls between JSB and CPHPs. I probably avg .33" groups at 50yds with these pellets out of my Taipan Long. My Taipan Short isnt much behind that probably .45" avg. I can't beat that with anything. I will say I had given up on JSB 18gr a few yrs back due to inconsistency and found the 16gr better. Still not great but better. They had my money for years and it was theirs to lose. Got tired of wondering if the next tin I opened was gonna be as good as the last or just how many are gonna be bent up. So far 2 big orders with the JTS a year apart and pellets shoot the exact same and same skirt thickness, depth, everything. I'm happy. If JTS/AEA keeps up the consistency I'd see no reason to change. JSB would really need to tighten things up for me to consider going back.

Motörhead, it’s the times today. Most just want the quick answer and not do their due diligence anymore. I’ve catch myself doing the same thing. Someone has something I find will help me, I ask where they got it, they say amazon. Thst should be plenty enough information, right? But what else do we ask for? A LINK! Cause we’re too lazy to try and surf amazon and do it ourselves!!
Yeah I’ve done it, but I’m aware of it and I try to research stuff on my own.
There’s a fellow member who I’ve bounced back ideas with who actually replied on this thread. I consider him up there in pcp knowledge. Actually, he’s on the list I call “the bat phone” list, where I’ll make the call only if I can’t find the solution. Very sharp cat, and if he reads this he knows I’m talking about him.

But both him and I have vented about when we advise someone, it’s funny but a week or two later they’re advising someone else with basically verbatim of what we’ve said, and acts like the ideas were all his. Never once was it said “yeah i actually learned that from so and so and I’m just passing on what I learned”.
It crack us both up. People are funny, I

Equally amusing is the trend for some to read something technical, embellish it with some other abstract info that may or may not apply, then re-posting said embellished info as the new reality of the original. ( which many instances was posted originally by someone being pretty matter of fact )
Lot of variants of what could be called PARROTING ... that of just repeating what read that many times is a diluted or altered version of original data points. More the mis-information circulates the more it seems to take on a life of it's own.

Tony of talon tunes posting the Vulcan 3 video on his advert post. This was the video from Steve AVS with my gun couple years ago. We were early acquirers of the platform. We never achieved top tuning before I was forced to sell via economic reasons. Now both myself and Steve are definitely supporters of this platform, and I feel it’s slightly better competition is the epic 2. But, in reality, the epic 1 in 700mm is the direct comparison. But several hundred more.

I installed the new 500mm barrel and had it out for a bit. It shoots very well at about 830fps. Acceptably quiet also. One nice thing about the Crown is the amount of adjustment it has with the transfer port and the power wheel. Seems very efficient with approx 100+ shots and maybe 70 bar of air. I'll have to make a point of figuring that out the next time I have the opportunity to get out.

NSA also very expensive here in Denmark.

In my epic Two ( CZ barrel no choke ) the 16 grain fly well, also 13 and 10 gr JSB KO MK3, shoot all of those out to 123 M
In my Maverick only 13 work well ( heavy barrel ) but others can shoot 16 grain Zan just fine, but not me.

chasdicapua · Jul 8, 2024

Yes a good, long, hard course. Sorry to miss the upcoming GP due to work

. I look forward to shooting this course again in the 25 lane, one shot per target configuration.

I think you‘d need the shoulders of the washer to keep the o-ring from extruding out under pressure.

Exactly and that's why reused the out side metal ring

I feel you with the wind. I’ve set flags at 25, 50, 75, and 100 and there were times they were all moving in different directions. I’m not good enough to memorize that sort of variation. As for cant, I have levels on most of my scopes. And they do help. At 75 yards my pellet drops approximately 16” from a 30 yards zero. A slight cant can cause inches of horizontal drift. I put 5 shot over a chrony before shooting any of my rifles. And this one is one of my most consistent. Pretty much a 10fps spread between a 720 or 730 average depending on temperature.

I just got this back from warranty work, so it's a bit like starting over. I had a Vortek kit added and trigger work done, since AoA,s work doesn't affect warranty. Once it settles down I'll get serious with it. I can only hope to get you results.

I find a slice of fresh apple works well. 1 day old doesn't work.

Is buying from the GX website safe? Seems like they are, or at least the pump I am looking at, is cheaper on the GX website.

I just bought a GX- L3, saved about $130 over Amazon and no tax charged. Takes about a week and mine came through undamaged and running fine

Hi All,

Starting down the path of tuning my panthera and had a good read of the threads here.

Took a finger in the air tune today of 128ish and 3 on the micro and it was pretty ok with Altaros 50gn at 910fps (going to drop that a bit)

One question I can’t find an answer to is what is a “good” air consumption per shot (rather than shots per fill)

I was using about 6BAR per shot today from the 300cc bottle

Hi Mike,
Just saw your response. Not avoiding you, haha! I love that scope, it would look great on my nickle boron 10/22 receiver!

25Cal · Jul 18, 2024

H&N have been good for me. Composition of the lead matters

Showme · Jul 7, 2024

Thanks for your quick response. I should have snapped a quick photo as I did assembled.

When I want to shoot that squirrel on a tree branch 50 yards away, and from my location I can see the leaves moving in the breeze but have no sense of velocity or direction, I just put this interesting device up there next to the squirrel and the info it sends to my cell phone will tell me where to aim. Right?

Right................. And let us know how was it

btw, I know exactly what it takes to bring that squirrels down in between branches and leaves ... and my cats will finish the story

KatoKevin454 · Jul 9, 2024

you could also try rebooting your phone, some times it helps to get things to work right.

I have a 22 cal jet 2 set up in the carbine configuration with a scope. I currently polished the trigger and barrel, lightened the springs on the mags, polished the hammer and removed the 2 hs preload washers. It now gets 3 mags with great accuracy out to 35 yards on a fill. According to the pressure gauge I could shoot 4 mags but poi starts dropping a little. I also put a .25 cal buckrail moderator on it. It shoots way better with the moderator than without. Interestingly of all the pellets I tested the hatsan vortex 17grain shoot the best. My problem is with how the barrel is fastened in the polymer housing, if it gets bumped even a little my poi shifts drastically. I tried to fix this by drilling small divots where the set screws contact the barrel but it didn’t seem to help. Did anyone else with a jet have this problem? Any suggestions to fix it?

Ok got mine working fully now.

You need the GPS as well as the wifi on t get into the app. And make sure that you allow the app to use these and you should be good!

Sounds like a CHOKE is present !!

YES a slug will hang up @ 1" from muzzle due to said choke if present.
Put slug threw choke first, indeed the slug will pass down barrel w/o touching rifling and appear smooth
** One needs to prep barrel as in a LEADE and a proper Crown before determining condition of bore end to end.

Usually when buying raw barrel blanks 1 inch should be cut off both ends...when you pull a button.rifeling through more stress at.both ends...normal barrels.not.choke.airgun. stuff..

Coxworkshop · Aug 8, 2024

Anyone got one yet? Or seen any shooting reviews?

Rich_B · Jul 13, 2024

RTI .22 with H&N Baracuda 18’s. Good fun.

Found it! It was BRK thread, not a Wolf thread!

There was a thread where someone mentioned using their Saber Tactical bottle degasser kit on a Delta/Alpha bottle valve. I can’t find it anywhere. Anyone know what thread I’m talking about?
