Polymag .25cal: What Max. Velocity? ▪ BC? ▪ Expansion?

Where do I go from here?

Thanks to your help I will hit the range right after Christmas, much better prepared. 🔆


➠ I'm going to start with the best case scenario...:

● Polymags — for maximum expansion and terminal effects

● At 1000fps MV — for the same reason

● Out to 50y — my max. range for this pesting scenario

● Regulator on the Prophet II Compact at 130bar



If I can't get — for pesting — acceptable precision, I will:
● reduce the range to 40y, and subsequently

● reduce the velocity by 20fps to 980fps — again at 50y.


If still not enough precision, I will repeat the above reduction cycle. 😊


Can't wait for range day!! 😃

Air Venturi  FX Impact M3 vs low budget Air Venturi Bullpup both in .22 cal at 50 meters

Sorry to say this but, the avenger looks god awful. Yes, accuray wise they may shoot at 50 yards somewhat the same, but i guarrentee at longer ranges the avenger will fail horribly.

Also people to shoot rifles that look like real sniper rifles. The Impact is one the best looking tactical PCP's on the market, customize a little bit, put a big fat ldc on it, a really big scope, and it's an eyecatcher.
Personally I think tactical rifles are just butt ugly much prefer a wood stocked traditional rifle.. I'm a hunter not a wanna be sniper so don't enjoy carrying a clunky piece of metal around the woods.. this is just my opinion I grew up shooting guns with wood furniture and no plastic.

Daisy  Daisy 880 - at 10 meters, standing offhand

Just curious, what suppressor is that?
*sigh
That came from Geo. He called it an LDC, (Lead Dust Collector) lol
Sadly, he stepped away from 3D printing for hire years ago. From what I understand, there are stl files out there. (Hey; we're all ears if someone out there has sources!)

N/A  First cold weather shooting

I was out squirrel hunting on Saturday with my FX Wildcat and it was in the mid 30's. POI didn't change on me.
Glad to hear. That’s a really nice rifle, and if funds were unlimited I might just bend that way. But at my age and income, a gun that shoots really well, and costs 5 times less, suits me just fine😎. In the meantime, I will deal with the little quirks that my other guns might have. I find the tinkering as part of the fun of these launchers.

BSA  Piston Seal Lubrication

Use very little lubricant. A light wipe around the first and last finger width ends of the piston is all that's needed. Much more and you'll stand the chance of overloading the seals wiping ability. That leads to excessive dieseling.

Very little is needed on the spring too. A smear on the ends and sides of the guides is enough.

Is it worth the money? 9L SCBA Tank!

Also keep in mind that just because a gun CAN be filled to 4500psi it doesn't mean it will shoot its best at that pressure. One of mine CAN be filled to 250bar but runs most efficiently filling to only 235 or 240bar. Airguns are funny that way.
