Gentlemen; I have been shooting my Texan 35 cal for a year now. Came to the conclusion that no matter how careful I am casting bullets, I will never get really good accuracy with them. SOOO, I started shooting Neilson swaged 142 bullets and can get some really impressive groups Then I move...

Gentlemen; I took your advice and moved the power wheel to max, and it stopped the problem of the dud shots. One side effect of this action though is that adjusting the power wheel to maximise precision is not possible. I guess the only adjustment to maximise precision with a given bullet is to...

Gentlemen I own a .357 texan lss, I shoot 164 grain (which is not a light bullet) cast bullets, and find them to be fairly accurate. However, I have found that quite often the first and sometimes second shot after a refill is very underpowered. So slow that my fx chrony won't even pick them up...

When I bought my FX MK 2 .35 cal two years ago, I was told that they were working on on a slug barrel. Has anybody heard anything about the .35 cal slug barrel? Does it exist? What are they waiting for?

Thanks for the info Babaganoush. I just ordered some 142 and some 178 grain bullets from neilson. I have been trying some of the Neilson 93 grains and have found that they really are subject to hammer lock. If i fill to 3000 lbs the first three to five shots go putt. This doesn't happen when I...

Gentlemen; I recently bought a Texan lss in .35 cal. I have been shooting homemade cast pistol bullets with only average accuracy results. I have read somewhere that Neilson 178 grain bullets shoot exceptionally well in the Texan. I bought some lighter weight slugs from Neilson that were in...

biohazardman; Thanks for your reply. So you are saying that it doesn't matter what combination of adjustments you use, if your pellet is travelling at a given speed it will shoot well, or not shoot well strictly because of the speed?

Thanks for your advice, I would gladly buy one, but they don't make them for a .35 cal.

Gentlemen; I own an airforce 50 cal Texan LSS and it will put five 250 gr bullets in the same hole at 65 yards. I also own an FX Impact 2 that I am getting really frustrated with. It won't come anywhere near the Texan accuracy. I have it tuned so that it will repeat the velocity of 860 FPS and...

Had a question about a moderator they sell. No phone number to call, but E Mail your question is how they do it. Sent an E mail on Thanksgiving day, a holiday. Not expecting a response until maybe Monday the next week. Got a response within two hours. Had another question, got a response back...

Gentlemen; Thank you very much, one and all. I had planned to begin extensive testing (Damn the expense, time, effort) to find a combination that would shoot slugs from my impact. You guys have saved me a lot in telling me that it is not possible at this time. I agree with the statement from...

My dealer must have misunderstood the situation. Thank you very much for your response. You have saved me a lot of time, money, and frustration. Add me to the list of Mark 2 owners waiting for them to come out with such a product. Stay healthy. Straight shooting. Old and in the way

Well,,,,, I was told by the dealer that this gun had a slug barrel, but that would sure explain what is causing my problem. I read on a forum that the 93 gr HP_FB 35 cal slug from Neilsen specialty ammo would shoot well, and most of the time it does, but I always get unexplained flyers. Does the...

No custom barrel, factory slug barrel.
