    Been seeing more great 100 yard groups

    Here is a representative illustration of RF .22 LR using very good ammo ( RWS 50 40g) vs. FX Boss .30 caliber using JSB 44g pellets at 100Y outside at my local range. Anschutz 1907 .22LR FX Boss .30 Smooth Twist Two 75 shot ‘scoring’ side by side comparisons. Source: AGN “In the rings” slug...

    RAW Rapid RAW HM1000X .25 or .30 cal

    I have a very close first cousin who lives in Richmond, Va. Very nice area. I see Midlothian is about 20-25 miles from Richmond city. Hope you are feeling better and are on the mend Jerry. If you can wait a couple of weeks, I will send you my very lightly used .30 cal barrel. It’s been in...

    RAW Rapid RAW HM1000X .25 or .30 cal

    So, I think the responses are endorsing .30 caliber for 100 yard target shooting. We are also seeing some very favorable ‘likes’ for AEA and JTS pellets. Not sure if Martin did anything else with my swap other than adjust reg and HS from .22 to .30 cal for tuning purposes. Where are you...

    RAW Rapid RAW HM1000X .25 or .30 cal

    Jerry I bought my RAW HM1000x .22 from SPAW in 2018/19 timeframe. I used it exclusively for 100Y BR Target shooting. Martin built it to spec with the Poly barrel to shoot the JSB 25.39g redesign pellets at 935 FPS. In 2019-2021 time frame, GTA had a monthly 100y informal NUAH ( nothing...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Yeah, going to focus on 40Y a bit more in the next few months. Can”t let you, Joe, Mike and Marvin have all the fun! Great write up Ed, and like having the new shooters. Some day for kicks, we should show a leaderboard from a couple years ago vs. now. That really tells the story.

    Tuning Regulator pressure VS Hammer Spring tension

    Yeah, this was back in 2021 time frame when I had the Taipan Long .25 caliber and I saw NLT’s post. But, your suggestion is extremely valid nevertheless. I’m good at tweaking HS’s to try and identify optimum accuracy at a specified distance and velocity. But I avoid messing with regulators (...

    N/A Ok serious off the wall question

    FX Smooth Twist comes to mind. Wasn’t threaded, but boy can they shoot.

    Tuning Regulator pressure VS Hammer Spring tension

    “ I am more interested in finding if your rig groups better with a higher reg.?, or more H.S. Tension to get to the same fps?” Following here…… I’m equally interested in others answering this question. Essentially, your question is getting at achieving better accuracy with adjusting for...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Ed Other than 1B and 7A ( both 9’s ), you really don’t have any low placed shots, using the hours on a clock as a unit of measure. An ES of 4 puts a smile on my face. Ironically, the AEA Center punch 21.9g is quickly becoming my .22 Taipan Vet 2’s favorite pellet. Have it flying at 910-915...

    RTI needs to see this set of requirements. These rifles would fly off the shelves with these features. 👍👍

    30-Yard Challenge

    Shot 5 cards this morning with Vet2. Solid head wind and some R-L at times. I figured out a good hold on a head wind and did pretty well. Found a new velocity for the 21.9g AEA at 929 fps. Or, 920-930 range. Lot of ‘X’s today and only ONE eight. I included some scoring plug photos for the...

    That is odd. Not sure why a Coltri MCH6 230V spec‘d device would not include a plug for the U.S. Market. A power cord with no plug? Or, at least a recommendation.

    Coltri MCH 6 Owners, get in here, this thread is for you!!

    Just scheduled my 230V - 60 Hz single phase 2 prong 30 A circuit install using conduit ( which I Like ) for August 12th. He asked me if anyone on AGN knows what the exact plug and receptacle configuration is for the ICON MCH-6. We looked everywhere and Coltri is Italian made, but we need to...

    Going to order mine in August. Have the Electrician coming week of 8/11 to install a 230V, 60Hz 2-prong 30 A circuit in the garage. Q. How long is the power cord? Don’t want to use any extension cords.

    Thanks Brandan! I ‘selectively’ get some HPA stuff from Ali, but with two U.S. Retailers ( AoA and AV) both having the correct DIN300 female to female Foster QC, I have what I need. Thanks again guys for the quick turnaround.

    Thank you Jerry! Yep, that’s what I need. I missed seeing this lil’ bugger on AoA website. Forgot to check AV also. Appreciate the quick help! Tom
