I’m predominantly a .177 shooter but as I have the ghost in my collection I’m seriously considering adding a .22 barrel kit in to the mix.Thank you Matt. I always use cal.22 but over to try the .177 for rats. Cheaper pellets same effects
I did see that, though would have to sell one of the rifles to get her! Would have to let go of the anschutz 8002 to justify another buy. Already have Martin building me another Rapid....so my fun money is tight. Lol
They are cheap, used wetsuits. Cut off the appropriate part of an arm or a leg, and you have a neoprene cover. Several, if you do it right!Gerry, yes I did and found a bunch of options. Thanks. Not sure what I searched before hah. My bottle thanks you.
F6Hawk I think that wet suit is a bit large for my bottle
Need to adjust hammer spring tension, spreads are too big. Will help tighten up groups as well. Here's spreads I'm getting with 60gn Hollow Point .307 caliber (tad oversized) made on my Thor Press. Set up chrono at muzzle and then at 100 yards
GX factory literature rates the GX4 and GX4-1 air output rating at 11 liters per minute at 1 bar. That equates to 22 liters per hour @ 4500 psi or 310 bar.
Most owners fill their SCBA tanks to 310 bar. That means a 6.8 liter tank X 310 bar holds 2108 liters of air @ 4500 psi. It takes 3 hours 12 minutes to fill a 6.8 liter tank from 0 to 4500 psi using the factory advertised fill rate.
A 9 liter tank holds 2790 liters of air at 310 bar or 4500 psi. That means using the factory rated output of 11 liters per minute it takes 4 hours and 13 minutes to fill a 9 liter tank from 0 to 4500 psi using a GX CS4.
A 500cc cylinder holds 125 liters at 250 bar. Filling a 500cc PCP air cylinder to 250 bar takes 11 minutes 22 seconds from empty.
Output air filters and other variables may affect these fill times slightly but this gives a general idea of the fill rates for this compressor.SCBA tank terms are bandied about that can be confusing and rather inaccurate. There is technically no such thing as an 88/97/100 cu ft SCBA tank, though those (marketing/advertising) terms are commonly used (and confusing for people, old pros and newcomers alike). Some also refer to SCBA tanks by their breathing time (which makes zero sense for us, since we aren't firefighters, and time is irrelevant, since it all comes down to one's lung capacity and level of exertion).
Four common sizes of SCBA tanks (yes, there are several more, depending on whom makes the tank) are below. The first two values are actual WATER VOLUME measurements, and are actually the best way to compare sizes, since water isn't compressible, and air is. The other two are kind of thrown about with less precision by various groups:
114 cu in (1.9L) <20 cu ft> <15 minutes?>
285 cu in (4.7L) <45 cu ft> <30 minutes> Actually holds 1,457 L (51 ft^3) of air @310 bar.
410 (6.7L) < 60/73 cu ft> <45 minutes> Actually holds 2,077 L ( of air @ 310 bar; 1,675 L (59 ft^3) of air @250 bar.
550 cu in (9L) <88/95/97 cu ft> <60 minutes> Actually holds 2,790 L (98.6ft^3) of air @310 bar, 2,700 L (95.3 ft^3) of air @300 bar (you get the idea).
The reason for the various cu ft numbers is because air is compressible, so depending on pressure, one can have more or less of an air volume.
