Most definitely. I’m not use to BB guns being anywhere near accurate, so this MP40 is a pleasant surprise.Now that’s some fun right there!
I would have never thought that casting would be so involvedI'll have three Lee .401 molds on order that will arrive in the next couple of weeks, as I have a PBBA .401. I'll offer a sampler after casting them. Honestly, that is the cheapest way. There is a possibility that none of them will work for you.
Forget about those cheap lead melting pots. I bought a hot pot 2 and had the exact same kind of thinking you did. Pouring from a 5lb. pot into a 1/8" hole is not doable. Maybe for sinkers, but not for these molds. It is nearly impossible for consistent bullets, and the lead gets everywhere. I had to break down and buy a bottom pour. The experience was simply too painful.
You'll need to buy a bottom pour pot, the molds, a press to size the casts, the dies, candle wax, spoon to scrape out the slag, silicone hammer, lead from a local recycling center, bullet lube, and a hot plate to warm up the molds (to minimize wrinkled bullets) at a minimum. The low end is $350 to get started.
If you want to try out the .401's now, hunters supply has several. However, it will cost $30 per box + shipping to try out each one. You'll receive 100 but you'll only need 25 at most.
So if you want to get into casting the smart way, try as many cast bullets as you can out of your .457 & .401. Then only buy the molds that are proven performers. This way you only buy what you need.

This is the most economical avenue to see if your big bore prefers cast bullets. No wasted money with 90% full, dusty ammo boxes on the shelf. This sampler includes seven different weights (15 each) and designs so you can determine what your gun likes best. In grains L -> R...www.airgunnation.com
Where there are chickens the rats will be there also. Just have enough air, pellets and batteries for your lighting and NV.
Any insight as to when the newer variant will be available?The new HPS models are well worth the wait! The slug barrels are being made with a .224 diameter and Tom worked with Cobin, I believe, to make custom slugs...and they were sent to NSA to go into their high speed machines. These should be great shooters and give some good competition to the 22lr guys.
I know with the 22 Paradigm I have it did really good with the 25.4 pellets in 22. Was able to keep up with the powder guys, but the windows really challenging.
They were not. I purchased it on a Black Friday special in 2022 from PA. The second one was the replacement for the first one.Were either the EVO version?

That's wonderful. Kudos for not just giving up.Talk about eyes and problems 8 months ago I was diagnose with Fuchs’dystrophy
Fuchs’dystrophy is a type of eye disease that affects the cornea. Your cornea is the dome-shaped outer layer of your eye that helps you see.
It got worse and worse it was like looking though a bottle of water could no longer see target to shoot at and that ended my shooting.
Until a month ago I had a cornea transplant
The really good news I AM BACK can see once again to shoot
I am one happy camper
