Really appreciate the time, effort and the reasoning behind your decision between the different presses! Hopefully the next time out Mother Nature will treat you better!

Corbin vs Presslug

All right damn it one more vid. Because of Thor Press Slug design, the Ogive, or nose of the slug is more rounded, I can increase the weight of the slug without increasing the length because using the AVS 62.5 slug was getting pretty close to the maximum length slug I could use. With the thorpress styled slug, more rounded, I can get up to 70 g. I'll see how they shoot tomorrow

Max length I can fit in the Vulcan 3 is 10.6mm but you can buy aftermarket part to lengthen mag a little more. Basically a spacer to give a little more room

Yeah I need 21mm for my Rattlers and 20mm for the Megalodon - and when I get my Mora in I believe that's 20mm as well.
Corbin it is.

The rattler will take 20mm long slugs? Anyway, I'll see what it will max out at length wise reading this thread I didn't think rattlers could take much longer than 15mm https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/western-airguns-rattler-357.1269107/page-4

Whoops I'm American so metric... meh - I know it's 0.8" for sure because that's what I have my boolit guy make me to shoot. Looks like in mm that's 20.32mm so not 21mm.

Tuning 60gn ThorPress Slugs. I shot a couple groups today nothing crazy great but I'm just shooting off of a bipod at 100 yards. Groups are about an inch and a half which I am more than happy with because again I'm just shooting with a bipod and not a sled. I'm sure if I had a sled and locked it down they'd be under an inch plus I have a crappy $40 scope definitely not for precision shooting. Spent more time tuning it and tomorrow shoot for groups but I'm really thinking to tune it down a bit. I'm at 175 bar and I just think it shot better at lower pressure. Had a little fun blasting sweet potatoes and look at the chronograph results I set it up at muzzle and then again at the hundred yard. Still shooting over 90 ft pounds at 100 yards. Came close to ruining my chronograph just skimmed it with one of the Slugs

No, seems to shoot the same. I shot 1" groups with AVS also until I pushed up to 175 bar then groups opened up the same. That's why on the video I said I was probably gonna tune it down a bit. I think if I drop it down to about 900fps they should shrink down. With the AVS 62.5gn I was shooting them about 850 fps. Not sure why once I'm hitting 950+ fps with either AVS or these Thorpress slugs my groups start opening up. Maybe I just haven't found the sweetspot on the hammer spring tension
