That plastic ball is ABS can crack or break but cannot disintegrate or grind down to a powder. You better inspect the airpath holes and corners if you can recover any plastic chunks.
I tried the metal "pearl" balls and didn't like it. The plastic ball have a molded counter-bored pocket for the pin spring length and the metal not... meaning you will be compressing that small spring very aggressive - unless clip the spring length for about 1mm (that is about the pocket depth) ...

I mean yes those Northern Ireland sourced AEAs of course …,,

I have them in 177 and 22. I agree they seem well made and were shipped promptly.

In addition to the above, PayPal created a policy where if you make comments that goes against their ESG rules, they can "fine" you $2500 against your will and just pull it out of your bank account.

Nice! The Commander rocks!

Great shooting

Yes, the techs at Utah Airguns do a great job. I'm glad they got you fixed up.

Eventually I'll get all .308 Lee molds (around 10). You then buy 25 rounds of each to determine the winner. I hope one of them groups well for you.

I fired from 100 yards using 123gr HP as shown in the first picture, and from 120 meters with 145gr HP as seen in the second picture. As you can observe, the shots are very accurate and well-executed, grouped in threes.

I've found great results between with STX Superior 1:24 at 125bar, about 3
3.3 turns in on the 1.5mm screw, 22 on the wheel, velocity between 921-933. The extreme is 12, but the SD is about 4.4 same hole accuracy at 50.

Using post 9/21 version Dreamline tac25/600 superior + plenum, huma reg, 1:24, 125bar, pw 22, 3.3 rotations of hs screw, getting 4 mags on 500cc 250bar fill from 250-150.

The white tail deer antler growth is very fast. 20 days ago this buck was less than half of what he has now.

@Jman4183 Ordinarily I'd PM you something like this, but I'm not sure you've been a member long enough to respond. This is not a detailed video explaining exactly what happened, but it happened and at a much closer range. I like how he follows up. I unsure about his backdrop. I see homes back there. Hard to tell what's going on with that, specifically what's between the yote and the houses.

So I'm 15 fps less, should I tweak HS?

JTS 16.08g pellet: Most fpe and accuracy in my Brocock/Brk Atomic XR. I get another 1 or so fpe and 20 fps out of it than H&N Baracuda 15 which is 15.89g They seem a little cleaner than the H&N Baracuda 15 and usually with no skirt damage/deformation as I sometimes see with H&N Baracuda 15.

I've had them for both 22 and 25 cal, the instructions said I MAY have to move the barrel forward. I didn't have to.

Looks good to me. Free shipping on orders over $60. HLooks like he has some new .25 and .257 boattial slugs. Some other new offerings as well. Been a while since I ordered. He makes good stuff. Check him out if you have not.

My advice is to try some Nielsen slugs in a weight that is similar to what you are already shooting for pellets. For example, if you are tuned to shoot JSB 18.13g pellets at 880fps; try the 17.5g Nielsen. Slugs have more contact area so weight for weight they are almost certainly going to go slower with the same tune. They do usually like to go fast, but not always. FX liners seem to be on the tight side, so a 0.216" or 0.2165" diameter is a good place to start.

I shoot Hades and Nielsens out of several liners and different rifles with great hunting accuracy. I always make sure my setup is able to hold at least a golfball sized group well past the desired hunting range. I dont shoot paper for groups very often, as my FX rifles have all been way more accurate than I can hold.

If you want to dial in the smallest groups possible for paper punching or benchrest competition, slugs might drive you crazy. Most people never find a good match up, even after spending hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours. But with a little ballistic understanding, and a lot of luck you can find an accurate combo....probably lol.

Just got a shot to take out my pistol it's scoped and will out shoot a lot of air guns. At 35 yards, I can hit a pellet lid, all day long same at 40 yd, just happy that I have a good air gun and with the ammo thing going on, I can still shoot as long as I can pump the pistol. Great gun thanks all

Yes them Crosman 13XX airguns and pretty versatile and accurate. I use a 1300KT at 25 yards rested with a scope and can keep it within a dime all day long, and I'm no sniper. I'm sure in the hands of better marksman it can do much better .

Thank you everyone....best forum and members

We have had dealings in the past and always a good experience.
I hope that you are able to stay in the sport and heal as soon as humanly possible.

I've been passionate about PCP air guns for four years now. There's still much to learn, especially regarding air pressure for optimal performance, considering the twist rate and barrel length for specific slugs or pellets. Previously, I filled my AEA Challenger Big 9 to 4500 psi, the recommended fill rate, then adjusted to 3800 psi—a ballpark figure I used for some time before realizing it wasn't optimal for air pressure, valve, and projectile interaction. Determined to find the right settings, I set up a chronograph and an inline regulator, starting with a 132gr slug at 3800 psi, which yielded velocities from 1010 to 966 fps over eight shots. However, with a twist rate of 1:24 and a 32-inch barrel, this wasn't the ideal pressure. The optimal velocity for that twist rate ranged between 880 and 950 fps for any slug or pellet. To achieve this, I reduced the psi to 2400 for a 132gr slug, resulting in 950 fps and 264.50 fpe, maximizing power and accuracy. It makes me wonder how many of us overuse air for our twist rates, and sharing this could help others optimize their PCP air gun performance as it did for me.

Coming to this thread late.

For O-Rings, how do we know what NBR we may need for our PCPs? Is there one NBR rating (i.e. NBR 80) that will work for most PCP applications? I'm looking at getting a bunch of O-rings for the Huben GK1 just to stock up for future use. Thanks.

This Huben parts diagram/list should answer your questions @Ultralight
Hope it helps

I did not create this but it has an empty cartridge on it.

I had know idea the amount of information that was available for the Zulus. There is a ton of information and those post are much better than the actual user manual.
Thank you again for the link and helping for a much better understanding.

My Condor will put unleaded pellets in one ragged hole at 25m (H&N FTT Green and Baracudas, GTOs, any caliber), but by 50 yards the best I've seen is an inch, and that is with .25. I'm playing around with NOE cast tin pellets (recycling all those unleaded pellets in my trap), but am still trying for consistently cast, and am not yet at consistently shot. They make .22 and .25 wadcutter molds. My test of the .25 was the cast pellets were inaccurate in all guns at all speeds. That mold was re-sold right here on the AGN (with full disclosure), thank you! Maybe it will work better casting lead. I haven't shot the .22 wadcutters yet.

Regarding price, I've seen .177s on sale at 2 to 3 cents a pellet (Midway, Daisy), and .22s at 5 cents.

Click to expand...

yes buying direct from Daisy is best price but shipping i don't know , and i haven't seen any reviews .although i haven't looked yet

We should do HFT the same way they do it in the UK IMO.
