    300yd optic

    I primarily hunt woodchucks using my modified .308 Texan for long distances of 100-200 yards, and for further ranges, I utilize the Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 8-34x56. The greater the shooting distance, the more crucial the quality of the scope's glass becomes. It's always preferable to purchase a...

    Western Airguns Rattler 357 and 45

    I would not recommend going below 400 FPE. The Airforce 45 caliber African Ordnance 4500 psi 2020 MOAV upgrade and the 900 FPE NSA 350gr HP BT slug are significant considerations..

    45 cal Texan with another grand in it would be around 900 fpe and long range would be over 600 yards 2400 bucks . Hell my 308 Texan with a power valve is more pcp than the 357 rattler.

    If it's not for hunting, what is its purpose?

    For a hunting PCP at that price point, I would stick with my .357, which delivers 340 FPE with a 214gr projectile and costs $609. If I desired over 400 FPE, I could install a max power valve, bringing the total to approximately $730 and achieving well over 400 FPE with a 214gr projectile...

    An experiment I would like to see

    Are talking about the ammo and not the barrel ?

    An experiment I would like to see

    I am in firm agreement, as this has been demonstrated repeatedly. Boat-tail slugs have a tapered, streamlined rear end (similar to boat hulls). This shape reduces drag and stabilizes the projectile in flight, allowing it to maintain velocity over longer distances. Rough-surface slugs have...

    How accurate is your chronograph?

    What I often see is not so much the difference in the type or brand of chronograph, but rather incorrect setup. Have the muzzle 10ft or 3 meters away from the chronograph. The margin of error for chronographs can vary based on several factors. Here are some practical tips to increase the...

    An experiment I would like to see

    While I don’t have specific data on bead-blasted pellet velocities, I can offer some insights based on principles of internal ballistics. Bead blasting mainly affects the surface texture, not the mass or shape of the pellet head. Here’s why the velocity difference would likely be minimal: Mass...

    I measure with a 300ft tape and I use metal stakes and write the distance on them 75 yards to 230 i know there not perfect but close enough.

    An experiment I would like to see

    As for your curiosity about pellet velocity, the difference would likely be minimal. Bead blasting primarily affects surface finish, not internal ballistics. The velocity of manufactured pellets versus bead-blasted ones would likely remain similar, as the blasting process doesn’t significantly...

    Night vision - what are you using?

    Here is the Wanney in night vision, range is 50 yards to 300 (top of the trees. (From last fall also) I had to split the video.
