@ctshooter The name was changed recently. Consequently so was the url. This occurredOK - that link is working for me. Thanks.
So odd - I've had the URL I posted set as a favorite for years and it has always worked.
Yep, got that tidbit from Matt Gubber, and OMG did it work. It was in one of his videos, short enough to miss if you weren't listening.. I'd been fighting it in my Mavs then poof they just fell into line.Kinda vague but I'll bite.....are you saying the magic recipe for figuring out slugs is making sure that no extra air is used in the shot? As in balancing reg pressure and hammer spring and hammer weight, etc? Or perfect barrel to slug "fit"? Cuz if it's the latter we're back at some barrels shoot a certain projectile well and some barrels don't.
Somewhat away from the original topic, but that .20 Lothar and the 18.9gr NSA slugs don't seem to care about the tune or the speed. They're crazy accurate from 850-940, with various reg pressures and valve impact variations. And by crazy accurate I'm talking averaging 5 shot groups @ 100 at right around MOA. Various speeds and "tunes."
I just gotta say , that’s some awesome rifles you got!I have ten Weihrauch rifles IIRC. I love the product but I have to say there's a lot of hype. Yes a 15 fpe Weihrauch is smoother than a 15-20 fpe box store piston gun. Still there's much room to smooth any Weihrauch. I hate to see people misled. Let's be real, they still have noticeable twang. Tuning them changes that.
I have an airgun enthusiast friend who has a rule — discard any pellet dropped on the floor — because any grit picked up by the pellet might damage the gun’s rifling. Similar reasoning to yours for not reusing ammo. In my case, the Daisy Precision Max BBs ($0.002 per round) are far cheaper than the paper targets I’m shooting them through.Good question, allot of air gun shooters reclaim their BB's and Pellets and shoot them again, one of my sons (adult) is a rabid air gun fan and got me into it when Covid shut the world down and the cost of shooting firearms and places to shoot went out of sight, he's one of those guys that collects his used ammo.
We have a 10 meter air gun range in the basement for winter fun, we shoot replica air pistols that shoot BB's and .177 cal. pellets, our pellets trap is an aluminum trash barrel filled half full of compact seat cushions and has a heavy cardboard face that we affix our targets to, the barrel is suspended from the overhead joists.
The cushioning does a great job of catching the BB's and Pellets without allot of deforming, every now and then my son cleans out the barrel and sorts the BB's from the pellets, he reuses the BB's but collects the pellets for recycling, personally for the amount of money saved and the low cost of BB's and pellets I don't bother, I just shoot new ammo.
My BB pistols have smoothbore barrels, the pellets pistols are rifled, shooting used and often dirty ammo can eventually damage barrels that will affect accuracy, which is why I shoot new ammo in my pistols and in my pellet rifles.
