FYI, The Vortex Optics Diamondback HD 12x50 Binoculars dropped to 219 on Amazon today which is about 30 bucks lower than normal.

This guy seems to be selling the the dies. 

If you read this article and do the math, 9fpe seems to be the recommendation, at a range which allows you to maintain accuracy. http://www.pyramydair.com/article/Airgun_Hunting_April_2012/83

If you open your favorite ballistic calculator and play around with the pellet weight, you will see the affect on the trajectory. Weight doesn't seem to really matter for hunting. I personally think that pellet condition (bent skirt, etc) has the largest effect on consistency.

What is everyone using to store/organize their sorted pellets?

I love my Regal Huntsman XL. It is absolutely beautiful and quiet enough to be neighbor friendly. Mine absolutely loves Crossman Premier Hollow Points, so shooting it is inexpensive. I paired it with a 10x42 SFWA scope and regularly take head shots on rabbits at 43 meters (the distance from...

Have you seen this youtube video?

 I picked two up, only to discover they seem to be total junk. Some of the pellets fall through the holes or will go in cockeyed and get stuck, both issues preventing the lower pellet tray from raising up. Has anyone else bought one of these pellet boxes? Do you have any of these issues and...

So here is the bolt in it's normal position: [S] Here is the bolt pulled fully back in order to advance the magazine: [S] I'm not sure what I did but I must have raised the rifle when pulling back the bolt and allowed a pellet to slide backwards and slip past the bolt was pulled back fully.

So I received a chronograph as a gift recently. I used it to confirm the bolt o-ring replacement helped but did not fix my loss of power issue. With the o-ring replaced I was still only pushing a .22 10 grain pellet at 760fps. Yesterday I bought all the o-rings that I though I might need and...

I like the idea of putting oil on the o-ring but the Huntsman manual seems to be very clear about not putting lubrication on anything where it might get in the barrel. Thoughts? LUBRICATION: The bolt shaft should be lubricated with a small amount of light grease. Do not allow any grease to get...
