Too bad Altaros slugs were not included in the latest HAM series of tests regarding slugs...

That's what I was asking in a previous post because I was pleasantly surprised at the grouping I saw by shooting a few 11,75gr JSB Exact Lead Free from my RTI Prophet which is tuned to shoot 25,39gr JSB Exact Monster Redesigned at 1000 fps. I was shooting at 50m/54 yards. I could not retry the...

@Scouty: the only reference I saw regarding lead free slugs from JSB/GTO is that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UIKMXEh1NE Then COVID 19 happened...

Maybe moving to something else than lead will bring some unexpected things. For instance I have made tests with the JSB Exact lead free (.22) and they seem to group very well at supersonic speed. Their skirts are much more regular than lead pellets, my guess is that the alloy is much harder than...

Here is where I get my pellets from: https://jsb-diabolos.de Usually the best prices and very serious handling. I don't know if Olga ships to the USA and what the cost would be. She regularly loads her truck directly from the JSB factory. If you look at her site you'll see choices for...

I thought about this regarding my Armada which has the same action than the Marauder and is useless but for bench rest. The problem is that when you add the costs of the different parts + shipping (overseas in my case since getting Crosman parts in EU in difficult), in the end a new gun maybe a...

I just got the booster a couple of days ago Are you referring to page 4 of the small 'book' titled "Compressor Booster Unit". This is the only place I read "60/40". If I understand correctly, this is the duty cycle of the external (shop) compressor, they want to avoid this compressor to run...

I made a Google Sheet for this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WPv0aQVWdUhumcSAhnS6mDYS3D-Dy1gXn6DaJYjNlFU/edit?usp=sharing Please make a copy so you can modify the fields (fields in blue/red to be modified according to your setup). Cell B1 selects English or French (if ever it's setup...

Unless ram2jeep is posting from a vacuum chamber or is orbiting earth, there are off by at least one bar ;-)

FYI: I live in Europe and expecting a Prophet since April. Yesterday the website I've ordered from (www.airgunheaven.com), got a delivery from RTI so the situation is easing at last. (COVID broke many supply chains).

I will get my Prophet in the next days. This single shot tray should work with it since, from what I've understood, the Priest and the Prophet are very similar: https://www.carm-magazines.com/carm-magazines/rti-priest-1.aspx

They are fully operational, I've just ordered a B2B booster a couple of days ago. They are also manufacturing projectiles nowadays (slugs advertised to have the best BC) and they are still working on their "M24".

If RTI sells as spare parts what change between the two guns (barrel and a few others) then going from one version to the other will be easy. I don't know how things are going in the US for the Prophet but here in Europe we are waiting for RTI for months to ship air guns, obviously the covid...

Yes originating from the same factory doesn't imply that the components/processes/ingredients/etc. are the same for all the production of the factory. Changing a process is also often related to the quantity ordered since changes means adding production cost. Usually there are also visible...
