The other day I had 4 groups in a row with 4 in a .23 hole. Then one that made it oval. I don't know if it's the gun or the fact it's a .22 not a .177. Any thoughts. With my TX in .177 It will shoot those true looks like 1 pellet 5 shoot groups often enough it's what I am trying to shoot. However out doors at 50 and 100 the 54 in .22 rules. That's what I bought it for.

Can’t imagine it’s because it’s .22. Relative size would still be the same .22 vs .177. Mine is .177 and will do the above all day long if I do my part. I’m hoping the HPM will get me closer to the one hole group. As is for a .177 making 18 FPE I'm pretty impressed with it.

Yes, it is designed with slugs in mind.

Any ‘kit’ will come with a fitted spring guide and top hat. The Vortek ‘kits’ also come with a piston seal, whereas the ARH kits don’t and you need to add a piston seal to your order. A spring is just that alone. FWIW, if you buy a spring from ARH, you need to have it set, otherwise it will be too long to fit. It is a PITA to set a spring yourself (as I once found out) and well worth the $2 extra cost.

Vortek kits come with a small tub of lube (plenty for a single gun) and you can buy a small container or moly lube from ARH. With lubes, less is best and using too much will just make a mess and cause the gun to diesel when firing.

A regular tune kit from either Vortek or ARH should have your 48 shooting in the 14-17fpe range, which is plenty for small game hunting. Personally, I would not go above 17fpe for a .177 gun.

Good luck and let us know how things turn out

Those of you shooting the 40gr, 44gr, or 46gr. What speeds do you find that they are liking? I’m shooting them out of an M3 700MM.

To add to this, if you go this route, check with the shops before you buy anything. Of the two dive shops in my town, one doesn’t like doing it and a 4500 fill requires a drop off and maybe ready the next day. It’s usually only 4300 psi fills. The other place can only get it to 3900-4000 psi. I use the place that does 3900 and just top it with my YH at home.

But I advise everyone to talk to the shop ahead of time.

The dive shops near me change an extra fee for 4500 psi fills and I have to drop the tank and pick it up a few hours later. So I went to portable compressors. If I could find a dive shop close enough to do the 4500 files in a timely manner I would go back to tanks as the air in them is clean and dry.

I'm gettin' a hankerin' for a new airgun. (look it up if you don't know what a hankerin' is) I own an FX Impact M3 .25 cal. 600mm barrel. It's pretty much stock except for bolt-ons. I shoot targets and spinners, etc. only - not a hunter. Most of my shooting is behind my workshop being, 30~65 yards. I want to stretch my legs - and abilities a little and I'm thinking about a .30 cal. slugger for 100+ yard fun and competition. I'm considering BRK Ghost, AGT Vulcan 3 and RAW HM1000X - and open to others.Thought about a Panthera but afraid it might come with pretty much the same issues/challenges that my Impact M3 has. I like my M3 but as we all know it's a tinkerer's delight so I get my fill of tinkering and adjusting with it. Also, opinions on caliber are welcomed. I figured .30 for outdoor long range might be best. Air and shot count are not an issue. As my signature says, "hole-in-hole is the goal." So, your thoughts? (or wait around for something that may be coming soon? )

Click to expand...

I hope no one tells you that your M3 is more than capable of doing 125+ yard 1 minute of squirrel. My Maverick .25 VP 600mm is good for 1 minute of cork at 100 yds so I'm pretty sure you can be also. I really don't want to dissuade you from spending money but, why? Thus sayith the guy that is dumping a few grand into a new gun ... because. I'm getting a Jefferson State.

Here’s a link, looks like a very cool idea.

Found. No longer looking. Thanks.

I'm not fussy on pricing. Specifically looking for the finer British brands in VG condition.

Please let me know if you have any safe queens you've been considering parting with.

Thanks.

I got the cheaper YH model without the auto shut off because I knew I would not trust it. I do not sit there for 15-20 minutes while it fills my 45 minute tank but I come back every 5 minutes to vent moisture and when it gets close to 300 bar I hang around. Another reason to be a bit leery about the auto shut off feature is it means shutting down the compressor without opening the vent. I start with an open vent and I open the vent before turning the compressor off. I think that is a good practice that may improve longevity.

Agree with YH Hardcover model choice, would go that route if replacing mine. Starting and stopping under pressure is never a good idea. I always start with release valves open, only stop under pressure for soapy water spray bottle leak test, using deadhead plug, all other times valves open before shutting down. Only fill guns so hang around for the 3-5 minutes it takes. WM

HW44 in very good condition. Comes with 2 clips, fill probe and a tin of pellets. Asking $825 shipped and insured.

I retired in late 2019 and got my first PCP, a Prod, shortly thereafter. I have 5 now.

Sounds like you have your gun, compressor and bottle. I hope you did not get a SCUBA bottle (diving tank) but instead got a SCBA (fireman's tank, carbon fiber outside). If you happen to have a SCUBA it could be useful but they have a much lower fill pressure and they are, by design, heavy.

Anyway, JSB heavies are a standard go to and your Ghost should be able to get them going pretty fast. FX 34 grain are made by JSB and are very similar. My 25 caliber P35 likes JSB MKIIs and seems to like FX about as well (maybe better). FX are typically a couple dollars less per tin. A simple domed pellet like these will penetrate the best which you may need on a big coon or possum. For a squirrel they are overkill but they aren't going to do much running after a solid hit. I tune to get them going 800-900 fps. Some shoot faster but others report stability issues, especially in the wind. If your Ghost does not seem to like one of these 34 grain pellets you could also try a H&N Baracuda which is 31 grains. My 177 and 22 P35s like them better than the JSBs I've tried. I'd start with these and possibly the 25.4 FX or JSB pellet and let your gun decide what it likes. You may find your best accuracy requires a little tuning and associated velocity change. I have not found that my guns preference in pellets has been changed by a retune of the gun. Pellets they like at lower power they also like at higher power. But group size may improve by changing the hammer spring and/or regulator setting. I'd start with find a pellet your gun likes and then experiment a little.

You may want to try slugs at some point. They should help with wind drift. I have not found any for any of my 5 PCPs that shoot better than their favorite pellet. But aside from accuracy you have to remember that if they expand penetration will be significantly less. On a squirrel it won't matter at all. But on a 30 lb coon, the slug may not penetrate deep enough.

Lots of people wanted pics but no takers.

I think I will just keep them. They’re too nice and shoot too good.

I have ended up with a mint R9 in .177 and .22 and I'm going to sell one of the two.

The .177 has a Macarri upgrade in it. The .22 came from Flying Dragons and Mike did his magic to it before he shipped it.

Both guns are in great condition!! Whichever sells first I will keep the other one. They are both equally accurate.

I'm asking $425.00 shipped to the lower 48. Scope not included. If you want pics PM me and I will send them to you. You will be pleased with either gun.

I've bought and sold many airguns on this forum.
