I have an SS. It was not that noisy. Then I added a Donny Ronin, replacing the Airforce suppressor. It’s quieter, but not hugely. the main reason I changed is because the innards of the Airforce suppressor are not that sturdy. Both are very acceptable.

I see no one has really answered your question, so here is a surprise for you. My best bullet out of my .357 Texan is a full wadcutter. I don’t know if it’s the length or what, but it is accurate and hits hard.

I’ve shot a few with a bow, it should work great!

Have to admit that I’m happy with my .457 Texan!

I have, among other airguns, a Texan .457 To hunt deer with. Truth is, I could easily just use one of my rifles, but this has a number of things going for it. First, it’s a challenge similar to a black powder gun. It’s a challenge to get all the factors down to shoot well, but that is part of...

Those are some beautiful Kentucky bucks!

I can see tight spots in my barrel. It does ok, and I don’t plan on stretching out past 100 yards, but I do wish the barrels were better. I actually asked LW, they said call AirForce. I did, answering machine only, they say they will grt back to me—nothing.

Here are my thoughts. A .357, not a hollow-point that expands, has a an area of 0.10 square inches (10% of a square inch)—in other words it creates a wound channel of 0.10 sq in. Run the same equation for a.457, and the area is 0.164 sq in—an over 60% area increase! This is a much better...

You are exactly right! Three accurate shots is the norm. If you get a bigger tank, then you can get a shot or two more. Also if you use a smaller bullet (but my Texan likes a bullet on the heavy side). I’m glad the wheel changed helped!

Try adjusting your wheel closer towards the tank.

I’m sure it is as good as their other Texans, but with Reedmasser, that a bigger caliber will do you much better. I have the SS in .457, and it really meets all the needs you mention. I’d caveat that in size—it would pack with the tank off, but not on (easy to do). 

I have an SS, and those don’t seem familiar. Do you have a picture?
