    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    Yup the 18s are the best and i had no doubt that it would shoot them accuratly, but what a curved ball! my chinese springer, Airforce condor "factory" and "Airforce home made" shot all of these pellets wonderfully! i was shocked when i used them in the Krait and it sucked big time! i even tried...

    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    I totally agree. but unfortunatly, after wasting about a pound of Rolite metal polishing compound on those wiered spots and couldn't get rid off them i went with that valve lapping paste, and went to town, 😅 it would be cheaper to buy a low end rifle and break it down for spare parts, than...

    Airmaks Krait X slug & speed choices

    i didn't check yet. but felt really good about the speeds and spreads. seems promising 😅 i still have a long way to go! if you check the threads i mentioned before, you would see how the old accurcy was and some of the issues i faced. at the begining, i tried NSA, ZAN, JSB K.O. and H&N various...

    Airmaks Krait X slug & speed choices

    i fabricated it from a brass bar, it added about 9 grams. i wasn't able to open the valve pass 136Bar mark! and the spring was all the way in just a hair under the sear engagment to hold the hammer cocked. no it can open it with ease at 149 bars, one and half a turn off the sear locking out. i...

    Airmaks Krait X slug & speed choices

    148yrds is a dream for me few months ago! 😅 But hopefully after the hammer mod i would be able to do it, 🤞 still it a work in progress to rectify all the issues in it. but the new speeds are promising 😅 nice shoothing by the way, 👍👍 AMAZING! 😍

    Airmaks Krait X slug & speed choices

    I hope your luck is better than mine! 😅 i have the Krait L then got the X 700 barrel with its shroud. shot ZANs .219 28grn and it was good with wiered behavior! as one group on top of each other and the other all over th place! my first issue was the hammer couldn't open the valve above 136ish...

    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    I used this, but it was a bit aggressive and scratched the rifiling more than what i like! and i think the diamond paste would be even more and might dig it self in the barrel and cause me more headache to clean!

    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    i totally agree 🍻👍 .. i know for sure it would be a challange and a long way to get every thing dialed in. i was a bit naive to trust the local seller about HP barrels are not choked! but you know "live and learn!" 😅 and to be fair, the gun have good back bone! thats why i'm still at it to...

    Shooting tube Post deleted by OP

    I would say, few PVC pipes about an inch in diameter with 90 deg. elbows to connect them in a triangle shape stick them in the ground with a string or rope connecting their tops and a Dollar store party table top covers "the longest you could find!" on top as a tent. with that you would have a...

    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    That is the thing that messing with my brain! 😅 most people would shoot them @980 - 930 fps with great results! then, #TedsHoldOver came on his YT channel shooting NSAs .2165 @1040 fps on Fx Impact with twist rate 1:14 hitting a fly at 100Yrds! and his slugs BC jumped the double! 🤯

    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    Nope, disn't mess with the scope at all! holding the same POA and go to town. I'm shooting from my shed down range, so not temperature differance there. At the end of each barrel cleaning i would pull a single patch with WD Silicon lube and lightly lube the slugs after washing. i do agree with...

    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    yup! exactly my point! they should land in the same hole at 30Yrds! as advertised, the barrel is chokeless. but when i sluged it, found about those wiered tight spots. for now the majority are gone or at least a .216 slug go threw with no effort and no detection of jamming when pushing .217 &...

    Slugs behavior, any one have an explanation?

    i did some sorting at the begining when i bought the gun through out the various brands and sizes. didn't noticed much except ZANs were the best fit and most accurate. so, i ditched the sorting and just went with washing, lubing and cleaning the barrel. having the moderator on, gave the best...
