if you have limited space then just make the target smaller like Ross did .

As title says, I shot 20 5-shot groups over 2 days bench rested. I shot my HW44 with H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 grain pellets at 7 yards in my basement. MOA at that distance is only .07” and the 20 group average was exactly .035”. I arrived at center to center distance by subtracting .157” from the overall largest size of group. This .157” diameter is the measured free air shot diameter - not the actual size of the pellet. Pellets make a smaller hole in plain bond paper than one would think.

Having taken a vacation from my Pot Stirrer vocation, I find it somewhere between comforting and depressing to find Y'all perfectly capable of carrying on without me.

Correction- IMperfectly 'capable'!

But I am flattered.

Unlike Dubya, I don't have to ask, "Miss me yet?"

When filling do both the gauges go up in pressure?
If they do then it looks like the valve is leaking.

Looking to sell some JSB 44gr .30 pellets. They have been partially sorted. No longer have the rifle and don’t need .30 pellets.

Right at 6 full cans.

Asking $70 shipped. (Will ship in PA shipping foam.)

Will trade for .25 34gr pellets as well.

(Trenier pricing, considered the cheapest, is over $105 shipped, so save and let someone else do the sorting for you!)

Barrel kit from a new .177 Impact 700 Sniper model.
This is NOT the tensioned kit.
Barrel with shroud and probe. No magazine.
$350 TYD

Selling a .30 Cal Magazine (fits Daystate Alpha/Delta Wolf & BRK Ghost).

$75 shipped.

NO!

Would be my pleasure to help with that if you were nearby! I have a litany of pellets in .22 as well, it would be a fun session! Whoops, did I forget the chronograph at home?! Dang nabbit....

AT3 2 MOA dot

Click to expand...

I like the AT3 dots and have recommended them before as an inexpensive alternative. My preference, like Mike, is Holosun though. I have multiples of the various AT3 dots and have noticed that at least one seems to eat batteries rather quickly.

I've seen pictures of water damage in airgun reservoirs and tanks used to fill them. I know it can happen. I've never had any trouble with moisture myself, but I use a hand pump and limit my pumping sessions to 50 strokes or less before bleeding the line and letting pump cool for a few minutes.
I break my guns down when the seals start leaking usually. Occasionally, one goes long enough without issue to have the seals replaced simply because it is time. I always expect to see moisture damage and corrosion, but I actually have never found anything of concern once I've taken it apart. I'll keep doing what I'm doing because it seems to work.

Hello @rsfrid

More incredible shooting from you Ross. I hope you live to be at least 100 years old, but when you go to the big range in the sky, tell Dottie to be sure and put the HW44 in with you . And I agree with @Ranchibi that you concentration is awesome.

Maybe I'll leave that pistol to you if I go?

I use a .308 Texan air rifle, loaded with 106gr projectiles at 3100psi. My effective range for coyotes comfortably extends up to 180 yards. At my range, I can consistently strike an 8-inch steel target at 200 yards. These are just my thoughts and I could be mistaken, but your .510 is designed for shorter distances compared to the 257-357 calibers, which are known to be effective well beyond 180 yards.

Food for thought regarding the .510. I'm Shooting Mr. HP 385gr micro HP slugs and my Texan .510 will consistently put lead on 8" steel at 400 yards. My personal goal has been to get 10 out of 10 on steel, but my best to date is 8 out of 10. It is important to note that I'm talking about a tethered rifle, and I'll mention that my buddy Albert has gotten ten out of ten on 8" steel with his FX Impact M3/.357. Albert beats me every time we shoot out to 400, my only revenge is on the 600 where he cannot touch steel.

I just thought I'd mention that if walk and stalk isn't working well for squirrels, that you might want to try changing tactics, setting up a stand and taking long shots.

I'm mostly into plinking and pesting but I do do a bit of squirrel hunting to collect some tails for fly tying and some meat for the pot. I live on 10 acres in a rural area that has a couple of acres of mixed hardwoods with a lot of nut trees (beech, hickory, oak, walnut) and a good population of squirrels.

Before the leaves were down I bagged a couple of braces of squirrels (I have a self imposed 2 per day limit) while out stalking. Since the leaves have fallen the surviving squirrels have wised up become much more difficult to approach requiring me to change tactics. Instead of skulking through the woods looking to setup a 20-30 yard off hand shot with my FX Crown I set a chair in a relatively open area and used my Panthera to take shots out to 60-80 yards.

It's been working well for me. I've reached my harvest limit (18 squirrels - again, self imposed) for this year so I've put aside the long range PCPs in favor of the 10 meter airguns that I shoot over the long Canadian winter.

For those who live in warmer areas, you might want to give this a go. It's not a usual tactic for tree squirrels but it does work.

Cheers!
Hank

For those who look at the picture and wonder about the color of the squirrel tails, here where I live (Ontario, Canada) we have Eastern Gray Squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis). Locally the population is mostly the black phase (Melanistic), some (10%) gray phase with the occasional white (Leucistic, not albino) squirrels.

Hey guys and gals, I’m looking for a blue ribbon 66r scope. Thanks, drop me a line

There are some known issues with moderator clipping and the Aircuda. Seems some of the owners have figured out a fix by swapping the shroud tube around.

Is that a mouse or rat? Anyhoo...excellent shot!

either a big mouse or small rat,

H&Ns work great

After measuring "approved slugs" for this gun. Yes, I would need to put slugs from that mold in question through a sizer.

Recently purchased a Dragonclaw and was wondering if anyone has experience with shooting 3D printed slugs or sabots with it. I have over a hundred printed for a Seneca Double Shot I'm waiting on (backordered), but would like to shoot them in the Dragonclaw. Is there any possible danger to the barrel or rifling?
