I'm sure that SPA doesn't offer a titanium alloy cylinder or bottle for anything they make. Titanium is a lot more expensive than aluminum and also much harder to work with. It is light for it's strength but I doubt it would be lighter than a carbon fiber reinforced aluminum bottle. As I've...

I mentioned earlier in this thread I test in wet paper. That test is for penetration in muscle tissue. I also test penetration in MDF. I have a test block with layers of 1/4 MDF separated about 1/2 inch from each other. I test to see how many layers a projectile makes it through. The MDF...

I eat most of the squirrels I shoot. My son will eat them too but my daughter will not. The ones I get are not dumpster diving, they are eating my acorns and pine cones and other normal stuff (for squirrels). They will be tough unless you cook them a long time. When I clean them I keep only...

If you use a cigarette type filter in the line going to the gun is should help with dust. Will it get it all??? I suspect not but I don't really know. I would not trust it enough to deliberate pump the gun up with the pump sitting in dust. But I wouldn't be so afraid I avoided pumping...

Today is housework day and I still need to vacumn but I took a break and took the stock off the Caiman to check the barrel grub screws. They were very tight as were the scope screws. Taking the stock off means taking the scope off on this rifle so I checked the zero after putting it back...

If it sucks in dust it will send at least some of that dust to your gun. I would avoid using it in a dusty environment. At least get it up out of the dust. Yes, you should worry about moisture. Ambient humidity makes a difference but when the air is compressed it's ability to hold moisture...

Well I went out about half an hour ago and shot another target. The wind was pretty much not existent. I was hoping for a lot more Xs but all I got was one more point. I submit this 199 13X for the spreadsheet. It was shot with my Caiman X shooting H&N Baracuda 18 pellets at about 875 fps...

I'm sure the Saber Tactical unit has less slop in the threads and works in some ways better but I made myself a windage and elevation adjustable monopod for benchrest shooting. It uses couplers for all thread welded together and some 1/4 all thread. If you really like shooting standing your...

I just did little Goggle research on what the PB guys think is the best barrel. Seems like they are dealing with different manufacturers but the answer is about the same. You pick a manufacturer you think is good, prep it and hope it gives you the results you want. No consistent opinions on...

Simple way to protect your barrel (shroud) from the clamp of the clamp on is to wrap it with a layer or two of painters tape.

I have them in 177 and 22. I agree they seem well made and were shipped promptly.

Well I finally shot something better than my previous scores. I shot a 198 13X with my Caiman X with it's Arken EPL-4 6-24 set at 24X using H&N Baracuda 18 pellets straight from the tin and through the magazine at about 875 fps. I've tweaked a few things including a new sub base for my monopod...

I am completely confident that any 357 round that will stop a coyote will also dispatch a squirrel easily. You absolutely do not need expansion with a 357 on a squirrel. I get DRT results with non-expanding 177, 22, and 25 caliber pellets. There is a little margin for not as great shot...

The values I have in Chairgun for my Prod and Avenger, conventional rifles, is 1.5 inches. I am not sure how closely I measured this but the chairgun results match my shooting results pretty well. I have refined my results for my 3 P35s and it is 2.65 inches. Again it agrees with shooting...

My now 8 year old grandson shot one of my PCPs while sitting in my lap when he was about 5. He liked it a lot better than the pistol his dad was shooting. He just shot in a safe direction, not at any real target. He didn't care to keep shooting so I didn't try and change that. Now at 8 I...

Air is 78% nitrogen. So you're going to fill it mostly with nitrogen regardless. Putting in dry air is not a huge mystery, however. I have a second stage of filtration on my YH with the plastic cartridge (inside the aluminum cylinder) filled with color changing dessicant beads. If the beads...

I have not shot a coyote and don't really have a gun I think is fully adequate. The most powerful is a 50 fpe 25 caliber. But I like to test the penetration of my projectiles in wet paper. These days newspaper is not easily available so I use magazines. I soak them for a hour or perferably...

The groups look great for shots in the wind. Were you adjusting your point of aim for the wind or just shooting? I tried a 30 yard challenge target this morning early when the wind was calmer than it is now. I thought the H&N 18s going about the same speed as you were shooting might be OK...

If you have not missed a shot with an bullpup due to the scope height you are not taking shots inside 20 yards on squirrels or other game. The approximately 1 inch greater bore to scope center line makes them shoot low close to 10 yards further away. It also helps them not shoot low further...

I would add an extra filter 2-3 times the size of the stock YH filter that has an internal plastic cartridge. Doesn't matter much what is inside it because you should fill it with color changing dessicant beads. If the beads have not changed color you know the air that went in your tank is...
