If the above was true I would buy one tomorrow.

yup the 1-17.7 Seneca 22 seems limited to a .435 length projectile at 840 fps.

Some of the best Schuetzen powder burner barrels are gain twist and often 6 or 8 groove.My Pope and AW Peterson were such as well as the current RKS barrels from Canada. I'd like to see some research into gain twist for airgun slugs .The theory is they start at a gentle twist and speed up as...

looking in Walthers site the only. 22 airgun barrel un- choked and the length AirForce is putting in the Slug-dor is 1-20" twist. Not that they couldn't have ordered a special run of 1-16 with rimfire bore dimensions. I'd love that! Edit on the Eagle claw velocity statement above.I just took it...

I'd buy one if I could get the barrel dimension and twist rate info.I like the idea of a single shot so I don't have to worry about bullet length. The Eagle claw has a 1-17.7 twist and stabilizes the 35g MP copy of the Huben Peanut to 200 yards.This is at a velocity of about 675(IIRC).Its...

in stock on their site

I've had this thing a long time and just never shoot it much since the kids grow up. When I got it I took it apart and used Maccari moly and tar and just did a quick deburr.The Piston seal is synthetic BTW I took it apart today and looked at the seal and everything and all seemed fine and just...

Not that anybody will listen, but I've been shooting this gun quite a lot .the accuracy I see with my cast bullet has been very reliable. An average 10 shot group at fifty yards is under an inch and a lot of times much better clustering.I get 30 shots per fill. Again not earth shattering but...

never mind

HW30 .177 with Maccari lubes.In Beeman R7 stock with Suhl 150 peep sight. Solid accurate shooter.The gun is not abused but the stock has some small scratches a ding pictured from actually using the rifle! It it not abused st all,just used so please don't buy if you want a like new gun. There...

I posted a thread about this earlier as it came to me as a trade for money owed.After a week of shooting its not my type of rifle and more of a time capsule for early FT shooting guys. I'm a spring gun guy mostly anyhow. Gun is in working order and in very nice shape and holds air.Foster...

Took out the old HC .22 and had a hoot shooting 12 and 20 ga hulls at 50 yards kneeling.The range put in a smallbore area that doesn't get used and im enjoying the privacy and lack of noise. had the pro sport .177 with me but I wasn't getting along with it as well.

I've been in my PB match shooting season and needed a break from bullet casting and reloading. I took out my tuned up .177 Pro-Sport at the 50' indoor range for offhand work.The gun hadn't been shot in months and it was still dead on,Gotta love guns like that. Well dead on off of the bench, my...

Well I brought out the chronographs started playing with the Reg and hammer spring. now I can't shoot a 5" group at 50 yards. The crazy thing is the velocity is very uniform but bullets are scattered. I went up and down from about 980 down to 825. Like a dummy.I never chronographed before.I...

yes from an 8 cavity MP mold.The alloy is a mix of pure lead and range scrap.BHN 10- 12
