    Crazy expansion from .22 cal Nielsen 17.5 gr. HP on chipmunk.

    Leaving the barrel around 900 fps from RTI Priest. Chipmunk a short 10 yards away. Slug entered cheek and lodged under skin half way down the spine. This is my go-to small pest combo but have also taken quite a few squirrels with it for the plate.

    .30 cal Crown with 47.2 gr. NSA @ 880 fps vs. Groundhog's.

    Groundhogs are wrecking my brother's place. Dug 4 holes under the foundation of his shed. Really impressed how the big .30 packs a punch. Took out 4 so far and none moved from the spot they fell. Longest range shot was 76 yards.

    Scope review miss. Turret zeroing.

    Reviews often mention the zero reset as a nice feature. It is. They mention tooless reset as being a nice feature. It is. However, I've found many scopes have less positions in their turret positioning than there are click positions on the dial. They use grooves on the turret shaft that...

    Performance of NSA 17.5 gr. .22 slugs at 900 fps.

    Great expansion and wound channel.

    FX Impact hammer spring screw fell out.

    Hammer spring adjuster screw fell out. Luckily, I was on the bench when it happened. I don't recall having the screw turned way out and am wondering if the screw walking is a problem for people and if so, what do they do about it.

    Little semi-auto AEA backpacker harvests it's first squirrel.

    H&N Barracuda Hunter Extremes going about 950 fps. 25-40 shots depending on the velocity spread (distance). Today I had two 1/2" groups at 35 yards, standing using the door frame for steady support so I'm pretty happy with the accuracy too. The little Backpacker folds up nice and small and...

    New alloy FX mags that support 12mm long pellets.

    I so hope these guys are successful. https://www.instagram.com/p/B45fgkTBO16/?igshid=1mz7mmnzwbny9

    Overseas post office deliveries into US. temporarily suspended.

    Anyone else having issues with orders to the US? I just ordered something from eBay and got a message that Hong Kong post office suspended orders temporarily. I got a similar message when trying to order a CARM magazine from Croatia. Looks like US Post Office highlighted issues going out. ...

    Help with FX Impact .30 slug liner accuracy issue.

    Installed the new slug liner and got atrocious accuracy. No issues with pellet liner. Installed with same 3 o-rings that from pellet liner and nothing loose. P.S. I confirmed it was an actual slug liner by the twist rate which is easy to see and measure on FX liners. Here is a typical...

    FX Impact valve stop adjuster issue. Low power unless set way out.

    Something weird is going on with the valve stop of my FX Impact. Overview: The symptom is the valve stop has to be adjusted way out or else it severely limits power. Even when set out it seems to drift and the power starts going back down. Background: I wasn't reaching expected velocities...

    Help. Weird thing happened to my Taipan Vet reg.

    At least I'm guessing it's the regulator. Was shooting 26.8 gr. NSA slugs and getting about 850 fps. Then at around 160 bar it seemed to fall off the reg but instead of losing velocity it gained. So I was curious and shot two and a half more magazines where it went up to 890 fps then back...

    AEA HP Varmint pleasant surprise. My most accurate gun with slugs

    Don't have a pic on hand so I borrowed one from their US website. The pic appears to show a CF bottle but it comes with an aluminum one. NSA 20.2 hollow points. Average velocity in the curve, 930 fps for 39 fpe. This a 30+ shot group at 43 yards. I was doing a shot string to find the...

    For those with FX slug liners in .25 and .30 caliber

    What diameter slugs do your barrels fancy? Any particular brand or weight? I've got a couple slug liners on the way and wanted to order some slugs to go with them.

    No video or pics...just my first long distance connection on a tiny target.

    Picked up an ATN 5-20 4K pro and BT rangefinder to put on my .25 FX Impact. Been spending the last two weeks tuning the Impact in while learning and using more features of the scope. Last week I got the Impact tuned with JSB 34 gr. at 980 fps and the numbers plugged into the scopes built in...

    How to degas Brocock Commander

    Is there an official prescribed method to degas the Commander? I read suggest partly unscrewing the pressure gauge. That seems like it would create an opportunity for leaks.
  17. DanielL

    Been said before, but I'll reiterate. FX pressure gauges can be wretched bad!

    Chrony measurements indicated I was falling off the reg way early...at indicated 200-210 bar. I started comparing my main pressure gauge to one of my pretty reliable tanks and to fill pressures I was getting in other guns (like the Taipan Veteran.) Near as I can tell my FX main pressure gauge...

    .177 H&N Terminator recovered from squirrel.

    Shot from .177 Gamo Maxxim. Nice expansion and wound cavity. Pellet lodged under skin.

    26.8 gr. NSA before and after impacting a squirrel.

    Hit at about 880 fps.

    This is why I'm so enamored by NSA HP's.

    25 caliber 26.8 gr. NSA probably traveling about 880 fps when it hit the squirrel. Shot was through shoulder but a bit too high, missing the boiler room. No worries. Wound channel was HUGE and obliterated spine. Squirrel fell in place.
