Did a little looking around and came up with this; your gun? https://support.crosman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203544890-B1500EPNP-Owner-s-Manual-EVP-2010-Present-

I have some of those Crosman "green, no lead" pellets. Being lighter than lead pellets (22) they give me about 50 fps more velocity. They are environmentally friendly (no lead and non toxic alloy). As noted above these will not damage a target frame any more than lead pellets, especially at...

Has anyone tried DayGlo paint? Neon lime green, hot pink? Any more visible?

Fairly new airgunner but powder burner, reloader for 40+ years. First, exploding bullets for small arms is impractical. Nothing is gained by an exploding bullet and expanding/penetrating properties for bullets is a high tech, greatly engineered task. Engineers take a lot of time exploring how...

You have been given a lot of good advise. Talking to the neighbor would be a first step. But unfortunately to many ignorant people an air rifle is a GUN! and all GUNS! are bad. Even though your air rifle only shoots a ,177" pellet weighing about 10 gr, to them it's the same as an AK47 full auto...

Just getting started with air rifles and at first I'll be shooting in my shed at 30'. I've used magazines taped together for testing my handloads (centerfire pistols) and it works OK but when retrieving bullets I get confetti all over the place and it's a hassle taking apart the bundle. So I'm...
