    The Tipping Point

    "The Tipping Point" When I saw the title I fully expected another thread adjacent to spending money on field target. 😬

    Airforce Assistance getting the Condorss .22 Jumbo Monster 25.39gr up to 860-880fps

    What's the history of the gun? Could it have a non-standard Condor valve in it? Is it new enough that it has the RingLock valve with swappable transfer ports? If so, and if you've got a small one installed, they can really strangle power. I haven't tried to max it out with the .22 barrel...

    Marginal gains and barrel/projectile choice

    Keep an eye on it til you get your barrel figured out. Again, n of 1, but what converted me to the lubed pellets from my slow twist poly barrel was how accuracy would go south with unlubed pellets. It was only a couple hundred shots in, but they'd start to not go exactly where they should...

    Marginal gains and barrel/projectile choice

    Works for my barrel, can't promise anything beyond my n of 1.... Your mention for cleaning frequency and regimen made me think of mine.... My slow twist poly gets fed Slick50 One lubed pellets. Sometime after 1 tin and before finishing a second tin, I push a couple of qtips through the...

    Nielsen Specialty Ammo questions..

    Two questions here... And yeah, probably better to send them an email, but I'm just curious if anyone knows any details. (I messaged them on Instagram but no response yet) 1. NSA produced pellets? A while back someone made a post here about NSA getting into pellet manufacturing. I think they...

    N/A Mac 1 USFT # 233

    I think you're after a 010 cast polyurethane, 90D. Based on mine. Since they're all kind of bespoke and generally speaking, I've seen lots of variations from one USFT to the next. For that reason, I'd recommend that you check the specs of those 010s and the groove on your gun before you order...

    N/A Please recommendations please for very accurate target .177 or .22 air rifle for an adult....up to $600 max

    Air Force Utility, either a Condor SS or a Talon SS. One of the small bores, .177, .20, or .22. The SS specifically b/c you want it quiet right out of the box ("moderator in the future"). Get their "Ring-Lock" kit so you can put a small transfer port on there and reduce the power for your...

    JSB Grands and Lights?

    That jives with my findings. Thanks.

    JSB Grands and Lights?

    Do you stretch em out much? I found them to be quite accurate, even at long range.

    JSB Grands and Lights?

    Has anyone other than me shot these two? And how did they do for you? JSB .22/28.55 Grands JSB .22/20.83 "Lights" I'm surprised by the dearth of info on these.

    Accuracy out of Mountain Air LW Marauder Barrels

    Not a direct answer to your question about Mountain Air specifically but..... I've spent time with 50+ airgun barrels at this point, I'd bet around 90% of those are Lothar's, and a large number of that in the sub20 fpe range that I think fits your intended size. LWs generally seem to fit the...

    Marginal gains and barrel/projectile choice

    Since the collective shooting sessions that created this post was mostly the build-up/practice for the Arizona State FT match....here's a bit of a follow-up..... The comparison testing mentioned here influenced me to put the .177, 1:36 polygonal barrel back in my prime-time ft rig, the black on...

    .20 Ghost on some pdogs this morning

    Had about 45 minutes available this morning so took advantage of that and got a few pdogs. Wind was supposed to kick up at any point so I took my slugger, the .20 Ghost. Ended up with a total around 25. The farthest was 230ish yards. Needed 13 mils of holdover, dialed 5 in to the scope, and...

    N/A Got an accurate gun? 100 yard 5x5 challenge

    I like it Ron, I like it a lot. In my opinion, there's not enough low power/high precision in the current industry push for big power. Your entry is exactly what I love about airguns.

    New design AEA Pellets update & comparison to old design

    I didn't jump onto the AEA/JTS hype, but all of this sounds very familiar.

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 LOVE

    What's your elevation? Mine only does 700-715fps with the 7.87s. So not even 9fpe. It's got a Maccarri full power kit, with one of the JM Hornet seals. I'm at about 5600 feet though, and I've always attributed the low springer energy to my elevation. All of them that I've tried have been at...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 LOVE

    Love my HW50s too. I got it in 2013 or maybe 14, so it's one of the airguns I've had the longest. I sure don't shoot it much, being mostly on a PCP kick for a while. But I keep it around for when the springer bug bites again. If you get a chance, please tell us about how yours is tuned.
