I appreciate the information. I guess the round fitment is really, just trial and error. Did you track exact diameters in order to find the right round fitment vs how they left the barrel?


I will order some of the slugs from NSA. I am actively searching for the heaviest slug that has been used with great accuracy. Of course, that does not mean that my exact rifle will perform perfect, nor the loose nut behind the wheel.


Thank you.

Yes it is a lot of trial and error but if you look around on this forum or anywhere else I'm sure someone will have some suggestions for sizes for the .25 cal

No I didn't measure the slugs myself, just ordered from NSA and shot each size and recorded the results on the target. The target was 10 shot groups at 30 yards. Lots say do 5 shot but 10 really shows you what really happens. Plus like for 20.2 .216 I jerked one so having 9 in the "real group" is better than just 4 if I only did a 5 shot group.

Heavy means you need more air to fire it at a good enough speed to stabilize. Also know that since the slug contacts the rifling pretty much the whole length vs a pellet which only touches at the head and skirt, the slugs naturally shoot slower than pellets to begin with. I shoot the 18.13 gr JSB pellet and 17.5 gr .2165 gr NSA slug about the same speed, for reference.

I'm not saying don't try for heaviest slug I'm just saying you'll need more air to get it to go fast enough to stabilize if it is heavy for caliber.

To my knowledge, NSA does not have a sampler pack (Sizes and weights) so I have had to purchase slugs in each size and weight and test them out.

Oh! I have something to add for "what do you wish you did when starting with pcp" I definitely recommend you get a chronograph. You cannot tune your airgun well without it. You can get ballpark by seeing what your target looks like after the group gets shot but you may be using more air than needed or something else may be out of balance. You want the hammer and regulator pressure in harmony, and it's been recommended here that you shoot the highest hammer spring setting at the regulator setting you're at, then get an average, and then tune back down to 95-97% of that peak fps to get to an economical tune where you are using the perfect amount of air to get fastest speed for the settings.

Yes, I have a barrel that can shoot monsters and my old style slugs extremely well. So one gun could do both.

The catch is that I made a better shooting slug a little while later and it takes a different barrel. I actually haven't even tried pellets out of it yet.

I was thinking that was the case, and thanks for clarifying.

Both carded tins arrived yesterday in just a paper Amazon envelope. I opened both tins and did not see/detect any damage. I squeezed one but they must be near pure Antimony. LOL, My JSB's would have never survive a paper envelope. Today finishing up on my Natural Gas generator maintenance from last tornado outage, tomorrow I will check out the new pellets...
Click to expand...
Agreed. My JTS pellets that came yesterday already packaged in the Cardboard Package. No Damage even though they came in an envelope.

Brocock/BRK  New .22 Brocock Compatto Sniper XR

WOW, did you run enough pellets at 850 fps to get a shot count?

Thanks,

Jerry

I'll try to clear some things up here that were very confusing to me. I think I remember getting around 35-40 good shots at that power level starting at 250 bar down to about 150 bar. The confusing thing is the fill pressure. There are several different fill pressures floating around out there for the Brocock rifles. The naming convention is confusing. There is a Compatto XR, Compatto Sniper XR, Sniper and several other names that are confusing to me. I have the Compatto Sniper XR which is regulated and has a fill pressure of 250 bar according to the manual and a call to AoA even though the RED portion of the gauge starts at 200 bar! From the manual:

All that aside, I think this rifle is going to work well for me!

How do you like the lpvo's on airguns? Are you just dealing with the parallax issues or are you adjusting it.
Click to expand...
That one in particular didn't have any parallax issues, it's the only MPVO I have used in an airgun, I do have a Burris on an AR. But I feel that the reticle on this Panzer is better.

Air Venturi  Which NSA slugs work well in the avenger .22?

EmptyTin_Tim said:
Yep mine had both indents one for each grub screw. I also like stuff tight and always have to catch myself from over doing it.

Apparently the .25 cal is worse offender as it's barrel wall is thinnest
Click to expand...
I pulled mine down right away and filed down those grub screws. They have a sharp point on them from the factory and some barrels get damaged upon initial assembly.
