How did you get the buttplate off? Like the rest of will be doing some similar work myself

In the left ear, was standing sideways to me. Dropped right there.Where did you hit it?
Yes .457 calHello fellow air gunners does an make big bore projectiles now days
No pretty light even lighter in walnut. And for you blokes over in the states 26 fpe
Yes mate 12 unless you have your fac ticketThanks good to know.You from the UK with 12fpe limit?
I bought this maverick newa few months ago. I am a retired 76 year old Veit Nam veteran. I shoot this gun daily bench rest style on my own 100 yard range. Just because it is my first post I don’t appreciate be calling a liar. I took time to take the pictures and try to tell my problem. I was hoping someone could tell me and help me figure out what was going on. This will probably be me last post here since you don’t seem to think I have problem and make fun of me.
No doubt about it ... in competitive shooting where ultimate accuracy is needed .... SINGLE LOADING is preferred by most,I don't know what the rule is, sorry, but whether a mag is a problem or not, I've found single loading slows me down and gives me a chance to breathe and concentrate. I tend to rush shots when it's quick and easy to load pellet after pellet through a magazine into a breech.
Unfortunately, in this case, your simple science is misguiding you. Boat tails produce destabilizing aerodynamic moments about the CG due to giving negative lift when yawed to the air flow, so you require higher twist rates for the same stability factor. Coupled with this is the fact that the boat tail also increases the boundary layer thickness, which will increase Magnus moments, leading to a reduction in dynamic stability.
As for drag, the largest single component of drag for a slug with a reasonably shaped nose is the base drag. It is a well proven fact that turbulent boundary layers at the base of a projectile reduce the base drag compared to that which is produced by a laminar boundary layer. The turbulent boundary layer does this by increasing the mixing of the air in the low pressure area behind the base, increasing base pressure and thus reducing base drag. So, while you may obtain a small reduction in aerodynamic skin friction drag by keeping a laminar boundary layer, you will create a much larger increase in base drag with a laminar boundary layer compared to the turbulent boundary layer. This is basic aerodynamics, as shown by the tests on sphere drag, amongst other things. Slugs and airgun projectile complicate things further by flying at relatively low Reynolds numbers, which can cause the complications above.

Look in 'all threads', it's there.You sure you sold it here? I didn’t see it under ALL content by user?
Nice shooting DanaConditions were pretty good today for our match even though I heard a lot of complaining.

Well done. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you. Have to get use to the magazine so close to my face. Am not sure what direction this Ghost is taking, am currently sending CPHPs at ??? FPS with the PW on minimum.Nice to see you joining the bullpup world . I was thinking of getting a .22 Ghost but decided to stick with my Mav . Your Ghost gets into magnum class power zones .22 cal 30+ fpe , imo . And I bet it shoots as well as you do . Looking forward to some long range pesting videos.
What is being used to clamp the pellet in your video?Looking at a pellet with a microscope is good.
But you can't see the essentials.
The pellet has to rotate so that you can recognize the flyers.

I bought the 2nd to largest version I believe. Tried to keep the cost under $200OOOL! I was hoping you knew about the water beads, cheap fun! Thanks for letting me know that you like the Leofoto MH head as I have been eyeballing them....which size do you have may I ask?![]()
