    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    Well I brought out the chronographs started playing with the Reg and hammer spring. now I can't shoot a 5" group at 50 yards. The crazy thing is the velocity is very uniform but bullets are scattered. I went up and down from about 980 down to 825. Like a dummy.I never chronographed before.I...

    Eagle Claw. 22 with slugs

    I picked it up at a pawn shop very reasonable and i've tried to sell the things a few times just last month because I wasn't shooting it. Then I took it indoors a few days ago on low power and got well over a hundred shots and it shot nice. Now trying these slugs , the thing is never leaving my...

    Eagle Claw. 22 with slugs

    it's some cheap shooting. Unless you factor in the cost of my Omega compressor, great white tank , casting equipment and my time..let's just not let the wife know!

    Eagle Claw. 22 with slugs

    Maybe not ground breaking but I was surprised the rifle did as well as it did. At 200 yards the drop was out of scope crosshair so I aimed at a dirt clod about 48" above the target frame to hit paper. The bullet is the MP 35g .218 "Huben Peanut " clone shot unlubed.

    Best .22 cast bullet shooter

    I would have no problem fitting the barrel as I have a little lathe but like you said it's the magazine that would be an issue. I would be completely happy if the gun was a single shot honestly. Didn't somebody Set up an AirForce platform with a 224 barrel set up? I would love to have a rifle...

    Best .22 cast bullet shooter

    Thanks I'd forgotten that arsenal can make them to size. This is going to cost me some money. For poops and giggles, I shot some of those MP Peanut 35g slugs out of my seneca eagle claw .22 today. That gun loved the things.In fact a couple of the groups at 50 yards were under an inch for a full...

    Best .22 cast bullet shooter

    I'm just getting an FX DRS Pro to shoot fair with cast bullets. I'm a cast bullet PB Schutzen guy for years and mainly a spring gun guy with airguns. This cast bullet PCP airgun thing now has my attention. it's so inexpensive to shoot compared to 22LR ammo. Suggestions?

    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    today less wind. I shot at a measured 50 yards from a bipod.I shot two mags on one fill and It looks promising .I did an overlay of all 28 shots based on the aiming point center and all but 5 were pretty well clustered. I'm getting somewhere (I think?)

    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    did you throat the breech end of the barrel to help the larger bullet fit? I throat 30 caliber powder burners for cast bullets with 1.5 deg throating reamer and notice an improvement most often.

    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    i have a 35g bullet sized .222 in my Seneca and it did better uncoated. I tried a couple of the PC 35's in the DRS and they didn't get 1/2" into the barrel as the diameter and PC seemed to turn them into a bore obstruction ! Same happens with .362 PC bullets in my Recluse after 6 shots when...

    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    I can't get a day without horrible wind, but that's Eastern Washington this time of year. I cast some better quality bullets(oh sorry" slugs") and at 60 yards it improved a bit.Reg set at 150 Bar and I've yet to chronograph them or play with the hammer spring . I shot 10 out of the Eagle Claw...

    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    I shoot some big bore air guns with cast bullets.And i've played around with a carnauba wax lubricant, Rooster Liquid Jacket as well as powder coating. I really couldn't draw any conclusions at one was better than just shooting a bare bullet. I had a mold for casting a diabolo pellet similar to...

    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    Yeah now i'll get serious about it. I was suspect they would feed out of the magazine properly was my main concern. The reason for the purchase of this gun was for offhand practice at one hundred yards cheaper than 22 LR.The balance of the rifle is similar to my 22 lr match gun. i have well over...

    FX DRS Pro .22 Cast Bullets?

    I heated the pot up and ended up having to stop before the mold was fully up to temp to do other household chores. With the few very ugly bullets I decided to run down the road and just see if they cycled in the mag and if they were stable. i shot a mag at about 60 yards off the tailgate...
