Tuning  Regulator Set Pressure (internal) vs. Pressure Gauge Reading (external)

Hi Group,

I recently installed a brand new Huma-Air regulator with integrated pressure gauge on my Benjamin Marauder 25 caliber. After successfully installing it I am getting outstanding performance out of it. The regulator is set at 130 BAR with consistent velocities of 842 FPS with the 25.39 grain JSB King pellets. The results are 56 shots (or seven 8 shot mags!) per 3,000 PSI cylinder fill at 40 FPE, it far exceeded my expectations of the famous 40/40 tune that I was going after. I’m not really worried about this question since the performance is outstanding; however, it’s just an observation more than anything.

My question is why does the exterior regulated pressure gauge (it’s a Huma-Air gauge) show ~150 BAR when in fact the regulator is physically set at 130 BAR?

(Note: I have heard new regulators needs to “set” or get broken in?)

Other  Tethering pbba .457

The way I do it on my big bores is fill to the pressure I want to start at say 3400psi shut the valve on the bottle off write down the pressure take my first shot write down fps and write down the pressure that's the pressure for my second shot and repeat that way I know how much air is being used for each shot. If this makes sense the gauge on the bottle will tell you and if you have a second gauge it'll let you know what's still in your bottle, I use SCBA bottles so it has a fairly accurate pressure gauge and here's how I do it.
shot 1 910fps at 3400psi
shot 2 890fps at 3200psi
shot 3 860fps at 2900psi this is the way I do it on my big bores.

.401 and .457 bullet mold

I'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.

I would have never thought that casting would be so involved :ROFLMAO:

Rat airborne

Where there are chickens the rats will be there also. Just have enough air, pellets and batteries for your lighting and NV.


Tomorrow I will be making the ASK.

The SHOOT will be some time after that.... Since I'm bringing an "airgun student" with me — who has some kind of problem with killing anything.... — I don't think he'll be up for the SHOOT part..... 🤷🏻‍♂️

American Air Arms  American air arms .22 hps

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.
Any insight as to when the newer variant will be available?

N/A  Springer Accuracy?

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​
That's wonderful. Kudos for not just giving up.
