When switching barrels, it's likely that your vertical zero changed. One barrel is likely to shoot higher or lower due to the inherent radial runout. This will affect your apparent trajectory. I say apparent because it's the combination of scope height in relation to the exit path of the...

3 matches per month is 3 matches per month . It doesn't matter where they are shot. The first 3 matches shot in a month in any given class are what's used for the agg line submission. If you show up to Nationals with 3 matches already shot that month in any class, then your Nationals matches...

This is an array of 15 shot groups at 50y in medium wind. With a 210 shot sample...I think it's safe to say this is a .6 moa average gun. Actually, if I shot all 5 shot groups instead of 15 shots I bet the average would be in the .3s Mike

When I open the forum page I click "menu" down on the bottom right and then click new posts. If I had to see all the posts I had already looked at or skimmed past every time, I would lose interest fast.

Ft is just a game. The core principles of the game aren't based around hunting simulation. Silhouette is also just a game that shoots at steel animal shapes. Despite that, the game is not centered on hunting simulation. Nobody is going to take an offhand shot hunting if there is any way to...

Yes, I have a barrel that can shoot monsters and my old style slugs extremely well. So one gun could do both. The catch is that I made a better shooting slug a little while later and it takes a different barrel. I actually haven't even tried pellets out of it yet. Mike

They're different guns

Unless the 13" barrel is a turd...it will have the exact same trajectory.

That's interesting to know and seems to jive with my experience shooting both. My smooth slugs or the altaros slugs are extremely sensitive to muzzle blast and require a very stingy tune to get good performance. Unfortunately a really lean tune also has the unwanted characteristic of much...

This is why you have a "flat" shooting gun. Mounting a scope equally high will make your other guns flat too.

My press is an RCE Sea Girt 3, and I buy my wire from Nielsen.

Nothing to complain about in 7-13 wind and low 50 temps. Mike

They need a rebate to be able to swage them reasonably fast. You need a 2 piece main die body to get a smooth boat tail in a swaging operation...but it's a lot more complex and time consuming. It takes about 30 seconds to swage a smooth shoulder and about 2 1/2 to make a slug with a rebated...

3500-4500....depending on what you get.

I'm not melting down pellets. I'm using new lead wire. It's 142.00 for 40lbs. Pellets are not pure lead.

If you shoot a lot at a high level...the savings is tremendous. I shoot 8-10,000 slugs a month. If I was shooting unlimited Rimfire that would cost me 4-5000$ per month. It costs me about 200$ swaging my own. I like to shoot a lot alot and air lets me do that on a reasonable budget. Mike

Here's some more 25 shot groups in heavy wind at 50. 10 plus Little tweaks here and there. The smaller set of groups took me about 15 minutes each. I was careful about what condition I shot. The bigger groups were shot in whatever condition presented itself once the slug was loaded and...

Here's a really nice 25 shot at 50 in heavy wind earlier. I'm getting used to the differences in drift and hold with these.

The trick is incorporating the ejection operation into the press. That's a given with the rce or Corbin. I initially used the dies I made with a 50$ harbor freight arbor press. Worked fine, but not very fast. Mike

Rimfire rounds actually have a lower bc than these. Most likely due to the additional rebate on the front of the bullet...but I can't say for sure. Mike
