I figured out recently that my SPA made bullpups, a P35-22 and a Bullshark in 22, really like AEA pellets. A 22 grain for the P35 and a 18.1 (called a 18.3) for the Bullshark. Both have given me a 200 on the 30 yard challenge with these pellets. But they react quite differently from barrel...

My Stoeger Bullshark in 22 is not pellet picky. I shot a 194 in the 30 yard challenge with it using Crosman 14.3 grain domed pellets. I shot a 198 with JSB 18.1s. I've shot at least a 195 with FX 18.1s. But just to try something new I ordered a small tin of AEA 18.3s earlier this month and I...

My non "goof off" time this morning has been spent shooting and tuning my Stoeger Bullshark in 22 caliber. The wind was very low before 8am this morning so I decided to try another target with the AEA 18.3 grain pellets it likes. The weather report says it was only about 2mph. I shot a three...

I just finished shooting 10 5 shot groups at 30 yards with my P35-22. I shot my first 200 on the 30 yard challenge two years ago with this gun using H&N 21 grain "Match" pellets. I shot a couple 198s earlier this year with it. But the last 3 targets were 189s. I cleaned the barrel (wasn't...

I got a small pellet order from Utah Air this afternoon so I had to shoot a few. Cell 7 is my P35X and not the real intended subject. The group on the left of cell 7 is FX 25.4s and the bigger group on the right is H&N FTTs. The FX is a better but still not a very good 30 yard group. This...

Some of you may remember me discussing trying to get 50 fpe from my 25 caliber P35 before. I have done it but inevitably the next time I go to shoot the gun the regulator is too high for the hammer to open the valve so fpe is a lot lower. So I give up and tune it for mid 40s and enjoy it...

I've been tuning my P35 and P35X and got a little lost so I started removing the regulator to change it and doing some measurements. There are no markings on the regulator to tell you what setting of the adjustment screw gives you what regulator pressure. I am also unaware of a regulator...

This is a bit of an odd situation but I am honestly trying to decide whether I want to shoot JSB 18.1 grain or Crosman 14.3 grain pellets from my new-to-me Bullshark 22. I started shooting the Crosmans early when I was trying to get the regulator working just because they are cheap. But I...

My Yong Heng started taking 45 minutes to refill my 45 minute Scott air pack from 3000 psi to around 300 bar. It really struggled as it got up around 4000 so I did not always take it to 300 bar. It used to do this in 20 minutes. So I ordered a piston/rod assembly from Amazon and installed it...

Early this morning I looked our and saw a water snake climbing the pole of my bluebird house. He didn't make it.

I use a home made screen to do the initial sort of rubber mulch versus pellets from my traps. That works well but small pieces of mulch go through too. I tried water to sort the small stuff but rubber mulch is heavier than water and it's messy. Somebody suggested a vacuum and I tried that...

I got my P35-22 and P35-177 almost exactly 3 years ago. I put a different scope on the P35-22 today and started shooting it a little to zero the scope. I was getting 830+ on 21 grain at first and then it dropped to about 800. Sometimes velocity would go up with more hammer spring, sometimes...

I am no huge fan of Crosman pellets as some of you may remember from previous comments. I've been working on the regulator of a Stoeger Bullshark in 22 recently and grabbed an almost full tin I had to use to see if the "fixed" regulator is working. Today is the second day now where the most...

My first P35 was a P35-25 caliber and I was recently gifted a P35X in 25 caliber that was not shooting right. I have not fixed it, actually it is worse at least for now, but in the process I've moved parts to my P35-25 and thus had the opportunity to compare parts. SPA makes changes in their...

DO NOT BLOCK THIS OR, BLOCK IT WITH SOMETHING FRAGILE. I discovered the hard way that a metal washer was a bad idea. I'm still working on it but I may have ruined my CS2. It appears the metal washer went into the pump somehow (I thought it was too large) and is now stuck in the piston to...

About the first adjustment I made after getting my first P35, the 25 caliber, was to the trigger pull. The "manual" gives essentially no useful information so I had to figure out how to adjust it. Relaxing the first stage spring along the rod going to the sear was super simple and helped a...

I love my P35s but the 25, in particular, won't push pellets as fast as I want. I added an after market plenum which helped but my velocity on 25.4s with it's current tune was about 840 fps. Usable but not great. I saw the oblong barrel ports on some more expensive guns and decided to try it...

I got a pellet delivery from Utah Airguns today. I ordered them last week when they had free shipping. I thought I ordered the "match" pellets I normally shoot but I did notice the price was low but thought maybe they were just reducing stock. I shot a few and they were OK considering wind is...

I have been using my Caldwell Rock BR rest to shoot 30 yard challenge targets and made a modification others might find of interest. I'm using hunting type guns that are light with narrow fore ends that don't interface with the rest well. My first change was to cast up a 5lb block of lead 3...

I had to send my Athlon Argos 10-40 target scope back to Athlon today. I bought it from Camera Land in November of 2024 and I was pretty happy with it but I had noticed the occasional need for a scope adjustment for no apparent reason. Today it just would not hold zero for more than a shot or...
