    AEA 177 13.73 Pellets

    Thank you for posting the pictures! These look like the original JSB versions of the 13's. Are they oversized heads (>4.52 in size)? I know that the 10.3 versions are really large heads. Thanks!

    AEA 177 13.73 Pellets

    Has any used or seen the new AEA 177 13.73 pellets? I was looking for a picture, but could not locate one. The tin picture looks like a 10.34 version, so I wanted to see what these look like. If anyone has some of these, could you post some pictures? Many Thanks!

    Athlon Midas TAC gen 2 - Wow!

    Centercut, Can you confirm whether the scope is a 10 or 20 yard minimum parallax? The Athlon specs say 10 in the text, but 20 on the specification table. Many Thanks!

    Great Service from The Pellet Shop

    I had a wonderful experience at The Pellet Shop. I ordered a bunch of pellets 25 and 30 cal, so a heavy lot. Unfortunately some tins of pellets were severely damaged by the rough handling of the postal service. The Pellet Shop handled this very well and shipped out replacements right away...

    AEA/JTS Pellets and Fouling

    If you check out the other post (see link below), it appears that the JTS/AEA pellets just have a small bit of antimony (AEA more than JTS, but less than H&N), no Tin. It is wild how little antimony affects the hardness so much! There goes my pet theory of tin. Maybe the harder pellets don't...

    Metallurgy JSB/FX- JTS- AEA

    Awesome - many thanks for getting these results! Really eye-opening. I heard rumors that AEA/JTS were using tin, but these results seem to show antimony. It is wild how little antimony increases the hardness so much.

    Metallurgy JSB/FX- JTS- AEA

    @dgeesaman Have you had a chance to check the metallurgy of the AEA/JTS pellets? We are curious to know if there is elevated tin content in them.

    AEA/JTS Pellets and Fouling

    The Tin reference was read on these forums, so not sure the original source. The Tin content was reported to be from JTS. There is another forum where one person was going to test the content, but I have not seen any follow-up post yet. I am using mostly choked Lothar Walther polygonal...

    AEA/JTS Pellets and Fouling

    First, let me say that I love the quality and uniformity of the AEA/JTS pellets - they beat the pants off JSB/FX/AA comparable pellets. I think that the AEA/JTS are awesome for .22 and larger for benchrest (other than the nipple on the front). But, I have been struggling lately with barrel...

    Skout Blown HP Evo reg.

    Smok3Y, I am mirroring your pain. My HP reg leaks at right around the set point - filling or shooting down to this level. I contacted Skout last week, but it has been crickets so far. I have changed out the orings several times. It seems like, when I turn the reg a bit, the leak goes away...

    The Karma Red Panda: A New Era in Airgun Precision

    Very interesting offering, but it would be nice to see some regular folks using the new barrel and their actual groups. PJ's video is great, but the pictures down the barrel make it seem like there is a lot of lead fouling. I wonder if someone could post a borescope down the new barrel?

    Barrel fouling within 75ish shots

    Here is the chrony string for the 110 shots (note that the last 20-shot group was at 890 fps and the first couple of shots had the wrong hammer setting). After around 50 shots, the speed started to rise. I refilled at around 50 shots, but only filled to 190 bar, shooting down to 120 bar.

    Barrel fouling within 75ish shots

    I read through this post on your Ghost barrel with the fouling/leading problem at around 50 to 70 shots with great interest. I just purchased a 28" .22 one from AoA that is behaving similarly. Notably, it has a very, very, very tight bore and super tight choke. I almost had to hammer pellets...
