    Ballistic Coefficient measurements for some .22 and .30

    It was really windy and swirling yesterday so I dug out the Labradar and a bunch of pellets and collected some data. I was particularly curious about the various MRD varieties and the new 28.5gr Grands. These were all shots into the far dirt bank at 110y with the Labradar set to collect...

    S&B 12-50 MkII vs. Kahles 10-50 FT vs. March 10-60 HM for BR/FT

    I have a Thomas .177 set for <20fpe that has a benchrest stock and I'm going to have an FT stock made for it too. (One screw to change stocks - gotta love that) For optics I'd like a scope that can do both where I just change the stock. I'm considering the above scopes right now. Looking for...

    Stock with flat forend

    I’m contemplating stock options for my next field target rig. One option has a beefy, flat forend about 2.25” wide and with maybe a 1/4” radius on the edges. I am already shooting an Anschutz 2002 with its boxy forend and it works fine on my Bog shooting sticks (I have a small towel wrapped...

    Accessories RAW HM1000x Chassis stock (only) w Ergo vertical handgrip

    I got this in a trade recently and will not be using it on my RAW (I’m a wood stock guy). This is a very lightly used condition chassis stock with furniture. It has the A&B Arms butt with adjustable cheek and butt pad, the hammer spring adjuster, M-Lok under the forearm, and the hand grip is a...

    Accessories RAW HM1000x stock

    This RH walnut sporter style stock was on my .30 HM1000x until I replaced it with a custom target style stock. It's in excellent condition. It came from RAW with a 'blemish' per Martin, which can be seen if you look closely behind the cheek riser. The wood had a void that was filled and...

    4500psi Regulator for very low pressure (non airgun) usage?

    Been looking at inflatable kayaks and it occurred to me that if there is a regulator device that steps down to very low pressure, it would be super easy and handy to use. Might also work well with car tires and bike tires. Obviously this kind of device should not be some half-as*ed contraption...

    Tuning Crown MkII .22 tuning questions

    Hello, I'm dipping my toes in tuning my Crown. It's currently outfitted with the .22 700mm standard barrel, and I'm tuning for long range accuracy (15-110y) of 25.4 JSB R/D's. Beyond factory, I have the reg set at 145 and I adjusted the hammer adjust grub screw so that there is minimal play...

    Like using lead pellets? Collect the carcasses or risk losing lead entirely

    Just a friendly reminder that eagles and hawks also scavenge carcasses. So no matter what kind of hunting or pest control you do, lead pellets or lead fragments left in a carcass will get eaten and likely poison the scavenging animal. Only non-lead projectiles or clean through-and-through...

    PCP Rifle CMP Daisy 853 unmodified

    I bought this Daisy 853 several years ago for indoor home practice and I no longer have that location to shoot. $80 plus shipping and a nicely padded Bulldog case. Trigger is original and not modified. I accept USPS Money Order. Local sales are encouraged, I’m near Palmyra PA. Edit: pending...

    Lots of lead dust(?!)

    I picked up a Crown last month, my first new airgun in several years. I've owned maybe 10 different airguns over the years, multipump, springers, and a few PCP. So I'm not new to airguns. I was switching between the standard barrel liner and heavy slug liner when I realized everything inside...

    Slug testing methodology?

    I now have a sizeable array of slugs to test in my FX Crown. Once you get clicking ... you know how it is. My club has a 21y indoor range. Looking for suggestions on how to practically test them considering the gun is tunable to provide a range of velocities. I can set it for high power and...

    Crown barrel kit minus liner, probe, and port?

    I have a spare port and slug liner, does anyone sell just the missing parts to make a full barrel kit? Or do I need to buy a full barrel kit and have extra parts leftover?

    What to do with an old .22 Webley Tracker

    A friend picked up this springer at an auction for just a handful of dollars because nobody was bidding on it, then gave it to me. I shot it some at 20y and got 3" groups. Anyway I tore it down hoping to find a very bad O-ring, piston seal, or broken mainspring but I did not find anything like...

    Which slugs for .22 Crown MkII 700mm?

    I have a Crown Continuum 22 on its way to me with the standard 700mm barrel and I also ordered a Superior STX Heavy 700mm .22 liner. I also have some Huma power mod components to push it faster if it makes sense. Which .22 slugs do you suggest I test with? I already have FX Hybrid 22gr, H&N...

    Quietest compressor in $1-2k range

    Title says most. Looking for a 120v/15A electric compressor suitable for filling my great white back up to 4500psi about monthly. I live in a rented townhouse so loud or 220v are not options. Thanks, David

    PCP resealing basics

    I read here that many people change their own o-rings, but I don’t hear much about how. I have a couple of PCPs and may add more. I do plenty of mechanical things by myself but I haven’t opened a PCP yet. If I can rebuild a manual transmission I expect I can handle this. How do you know which...

    Tuning How much power from a .30 RAW HM1000x?

    My RAW HM1000x is tuned for accuracy at 70fpe for 44.75 pellets. I tested some slugs and the velocity was understandably low, maybe too low for a valid test of slugs. If I use the external hammer spring adjustment, can I generate more power? Don’t care about wasting air for this test. Any...
