Even though this is about pellet testing, I'm posting this in the Hunting Forum, because it involves pest shooting. I think we can all agree that no matter what substitute media you use to test pellet performance, it's still just not the same as hitting rats, or chipmunks, etc. So I had the...

Don't get me wrong. My son's emotional support dog and our "spazmoid" Blue Heeler are literally FAMILY to me!! Recently a feral stray learned what happens when you hurt my family, and I'm there. I got up this morning before 3am, which is semi-normal for me, but the WAY I woke up wasn't good. My...

While poking around at work yesterday, I came across a small, white container in the airgun section. Sitting all by itself, surrounded by CO2 powerlets, Crosman and Daisy BBs, etc. Just sitting there unassuming. I looked at the label, and sure enough, it read: "Crosman .177 Copperhead Pellets."...

I landed a part-time at a local gunshop and started this past Monday. I was walking around the store to familiarize myself with where everything is located, and found our small (for now) airgun section. Currently we have 1 .22 cal pellet in stock - the Crosman 14.3 gr Destroyer. I've wanted to...

I was last week-years old when out of curiosity I used GOOGLE AI to see what the minimum foot-pounds of energy was needed for pellets like the Crow Magnum, RWS Super H Point, Baracuda Hunter Extreme, etc need for expansion. To my surprise, it had answers! And as it turns out, my (at that time)...

I've seen mentioned a few times about airguns and ammo testing/review videos on YouTube, and wanted to add my $0.02. I do tend to watch a lot of them, especially if they involve Benjamin/Sheridan airguns or pellets that I have an interest in using, or just plain old pesting videos...

Was trolling my local Walmart a few weeks ago, and in the Stationary section, I found these PERFECT, stick-on bullseyes. Several hundred (924 to be exact) for $2. Originally intended for repairing holes in paper used in ring binders, these things are awesome for making aiming points on almost...

Went out and picked up some Dark Walnut stain and some Camouflage 'Dark Forest Green' paint, so now my rest looks much better than it did with the bare white pine and bone white pvc pipe.

I shouldn't have, but I did ... ... I did the math ... 😱 When I get the 392 back from Tim, and after I sight it it to prevent shooting the chronograph, I'm going to test at least two different pellet weights. The first will be the CPHP'S, to gauge the difference between stock and steroid...

Due to the number of people asking how I managed to contact Tim @ Mac1, I thought it best to ask him for the OK to do so. As of this afternoon (morning for him), he said go ahead. As of July 18, 2025 Tim's current email address is: [email protected] For TEXTING ONLY!!!! His number is...

... but everything is waiting for the 392 to come home. Tim mentioned that 23 fpe, up from 13 fpe was possible with the steroid, which means a CPHP (14.3 gr), in a stock gun (+/- 660 fps) will be pushed to nearly 900 fps (25.55 fpe) in the steroid! That's beyond impressive! I've already...

I was telling a friend about getting my airgun steroided and said I was going to get a chronograph. Low and behold, he has one he hasn't used in year and said I could pick it up and use it as long as I wanted! He lives about 45 minutes away, so guess what I'm doing tomorrow? 😁

Tim just texted a picture of my 392 on the work bench during the final mock up. All that's left is to wait for a pump cup from Crosman, and reassembly. So excited!!

About Mac1 and my Benjamin, but he texted me a minute ago, and my rifle is officially in his hot little, talented hands!!! He also said that a steriod @ 6 pumps is roughly equal to a stock 392 @ 8 pumps (+/- 13 foot pounds) and a steriod can be pumped 14 times for 23 foot pounds!!! I'm...

What does everyone think of this scope? It was given to me free several years ago by someone on either this forum or GTA - can't remember which or who (retired old-guy syndrome). I really like it and it works well for me and my shooting. I was just curious, because I don't see many people...

Just checked UPS tracking and my rifle is in Cerritos, Ca. About 17 minutes from Mac1 😁. It's like being a kid on Christmas, knowing the parts for the toy you really WANT are almost at Santa's workshop to be assembled.

Just (almost) finished my odds & ends rifle rest V2. All that's left is to apply carpeting to where the butt stock rests, but the rifle is halfway to California, and I need to set it in the rest so the fit is right. Rest V1 IMO, was pretty ugly with all the extra holes from repositioning parts...

The rifle rest I JUST finished after 4 days of trial fitting & error, works OK, but there are some shortcomings. First off, the rear of the rest is too thick. I'm not able to correctly place my face against the cheek of the stock, so my alignment is way off when looking through the scope...

I've been kind of obvious that my 392 is in it's way to Mac1. When I shipped it yesterday, I got the tracking number. I was able to wait until last night, then I started tracking ... watching it go from Akron to Cleveland, and now somewhere SW of Toledo. I have a feeling I'm going to be doing...

"S" as in Steroid. UPS opens in just over an hour and a half, and I intend to be there first thing - for two reasons. First off, I applied for a part-time job, and they contacted me, wanting to set up an interview. I figured I would show my face before they schedule one to show that I'm...
