Coyotes with the .357

[Bowhunterwa87]

Ive gone out with the Mrs. A couple times this month looking for coyotes to hunt. We both have successfully shot one each with the AEA HP MAX .357. Mine was taken with the fx 69gr hollowpoint and hers was with a NSA 125gr hollowpoint. My coyote was around 40 yards while hers was 80. Both slugs did their job and honestly couldn't tell a difference between either when it came to damage.

Anyone else have an aea hp max in .357 and have you had any issues with the breach o ring? Ive had 2 blow out and break now and both have been at a fill pressure between 4k and 4200. I shoot and have been shooting tŧĥuuiu its rated for 4500 pi. Any input would be appreciated.

I really like the airgun especially the size of it and the accuracy and power but because if the breach o ring is n am hesitant topi purchase the 45 or the 50. Anyone with eother please guvebtmnèebrr

The AEA's is most series have had one issue or another. The bolt or side cocking ones usually being the most reliable ones. I've seen the 45's blos the plastic lid from the magazine. Never heard any issues with the challenger, challenger elite, or the Zeus variant.

Ive actually owned a challenger bigbore .357 bullpup and i loved the thing. My wife developed a leaking valve and i had to take time off work and sold it unfortunately to pay the bills. That and a bulldog. Both worked flawlessly
