@Scotty1 indeed I am wondering. It never settles down at any temperature it just starts to heat up as its working and keeps right on going. I have to monitor it the whole time I'm filling and pop the air bleed screws and shut it down after it reaches about 60 or 65. I'm using Harbor Freight...

Well guys ice/no ice, fan/no fan, distilled water/tap water, water wetter, anti-freeze, ice and fan and water wetter... whatever water we want we wind up winding down with way short duty cycles. I can get a Kral PB Silent from 100 bar to 200 and from starting temp of about 18 to 60. That spread...

@mikeallen south central part between kearney and grand island. wind has been going a solid 2 weeks and looks to keep it up for another 10 days or more. i think someone fell asleep with their forehead on the wrong button because i can't remember in all my 49 an april so windy for so long...

@MikeAllen thank you for the suggestion I don't have a duct fan but I do have a pretty powerful floor fan that I can use to help with cooling. I will try that and the two bucket method and see how that works. now, if i could just do something about all this blasted wind in Nebraska...

I keep seeing guys talking about 15 minute, 20 minute, 40 minute continuous run time. With even 15 minutes of run time I'd be able to top off my Kral PB, Blitz, Priest 2, and MKII Impact and get started on my 18ci carbon fiber tank. I'm unable to achieve 4 minutes of run time without it waving...

A bit late to the conversation I know but I had to toss my sauce into the arena. I put a Sarissa on my Aselkon MX9 and after the initial change in POI (easily accounted for) I was able to consistently put in excellent groups at 35 and 50 yards. Naturally the extra weight on the end of the barrel...

I agree to a large degree but I think it would depend on the manufacturing practices of the pellet producers. You're absolutely correct about the center of mass in a bullet versus a pellet and how a bullet continues to drive forward because of that aft center of mass. Using a diabolo shape for...

@vmaxpro -- i'm with you to a certain extent. i can see how how a gorgeous nickel finish would really make this thing stand out as well. personally i'd like to see more wood as it makes the gun feel more organic and less clinical and cold, machine-like. i don't know a good balance of wood to...

Yes I know. Unfortunately my phone is about as broke-ass as I am and the camera doesn't work. That's my only option at this point. I'll see what I can get worked out though and edit. Thanks JimNM.

I ran an experiment tonight so as to better understand the performance of a few of my favorite hunting loads and the results were pretty awesome! I took two popular pellet manufacturers and ran a straight up and down comparison of expansion with a couple of loads that I use often. I used my...

I have one word for you all for how cold it is here right now... Nebraska. So needless to say I stayed in as much as possible and accomplished a whole lot of nothing. Other than making the commitment to an Aselkon MX-9 and spending a great deal of time fettling my other rifles. I'd like to get...

@Odoyle post one. what did you call me?!?! @JimNM I think I mentioned how even simple things can be a stumbling block of epic proportions... and you just proved how hard a time I can have overcoming even simple problems. So simple and it just never occurred to me to mount the dang light to the...
