    Thoughts?

    So I was browsing eBay yesterday and ran across a seller for air rifle slugs. NONE of his offerings were custom. Also, he offered nothing in swaged ammo. Everything he was selling was cast ammo utilizing NOE bullet molds. Specifically the "Bob's Boat Tail" rounds. I noticed his pictured castings...

    Does a larger plenum on your regulator really make a difference?

    The answer to this question in short is this- unequivocally, undeniably, resoundingly YES! Yes it does! So I did an experiment over the weekend. I have a customized .25 AF Condor. It's a slug shooting beast of a gun. But AF rifles aren't known for their complexity in design. They are...

    How to push your CF tank pressure to 4500 psi w/o pushing your compressor to it

    So lets be honest, whether you're using a Yong Heng, a DAVV, an Air Venturi, (etc) to fill your CF dive tank, they all by and large operate the same way, and are susceptible to the same issues. Those little compressors operate under a tremendous load. And the harder you push them, the more...

    Regulators and leaving pressure in the bottle

    I have a question for you guys. Do you leave the bottles on your rifles fully pressurized all the time? I've heard it's good to leave pressure behind the seals and O-rings because they form to fit, and by constantly pressurizing and depressurizing the seals, it actually shortens their life. What...

    Talon Tunes (my $.02)

    So in reviewing the past 12 months of posts in this particular forum, I see an overwhelming number of topics that are pertaining to "Talon Tunes". They are split half and half. Some guys rave about Talon Tunes, and others loath Talon Tunes. So the following is my $.02 based off of my personal...

    jwrabbit123..... Do you own this mold?

    Ok my friend.... Do you own the following mold from MP Molds? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I'm asking you because you are the KING of casting your own slugs, and you own every mold out there. Thanks in advance for the reply.

    Are the large inline oil/water filters necessary

    I own a Tuxing inline oil/water filter that (obviously, as it's name states) separates and moisture or vaporized oil molecules from the air that comes out of the compressor I own. Well, a few weeks back I had the compressor on the high pressure side (it's a dual stage, dual piston compressor)...

    Air Venturi..... Where the heck are you?!?!

    I posted this in another thread topic, but I can clearly see it belongs here. I've tried to reach ANYONE at Air Venturi for 3 business days. I've gone through every option on the call tree, even hitting up individuals on the sales team for vendors. SILENCE! Are they still in Covid lock down...

    Air Venturi..... Where the heck are you?!?!

    I've been trying for 3 days to reach ANYONE at Air Venturi in Ohio. I realize they are in a different state, and perhaps they haven't been given permission to open back up yet. I don't know. Anyone have any input regarding this? I've called the entire call tree, just to see if someone MIGHT...

    Anyone on here shooting an air rifle in .223

    Just curious. If so, how is that working out for you? What's your platform, and what's the length and twist of the barrel. How much power are you making, and how's your long range accuracy. I saw that AVS slugs swages slugs in .223. I was curious if anyone owned a rifle that's shooting .223, or...

    Who's slugs do you prefer to use?

    This could potentially be a controversial subject. Each slug manufacturer carries a loyal following. Perhaps it's cost. Perhaps it's performance. Perhaps it's both. But I wanted to give my $.02 on this topic. There are guys on here with much more experience than me. There are the Ted's and...

    Did I finally do it?!?!

    Did I finally achieve the proverbial "holy grail" of PCP air rifle enthusiasts world wide? The benchmark that all slug shooters strive to attain? The infamous "sub MOA" tune/group on the gun? Let me start by saying this. I purchased my first PCP air rifle in 2017. It was a used, stock AirForce...

    Aresnal Molds.... WHERE ARE YOU????

    I've been trying to contact Jared at Arsenal Molds for over 2 weeks now. The first time I contacted him he was very cordial and prompt in replying. Now I can't get him to reply. All questions I had for him were business related. Nothing long winded or offensive, so I know I couldn't have...

    Update to my research on undersized slugs

    So I had a good email correspondence with Nick from NSA ammo regarding undersized slugs, and perhaps consideration of swagging a slug in .221 since that's the groove diameter of the Lothar Walther barrels that 95% of gun manufacturers use. I explained the issue with air escaping around the...

    Does anyone own this .22 mold from Arsenal Molds

    So I'm curious if anyone owns this mold from Arsenal Molds in .22 caliber. According to Arsenal Molds, they can customize the bullet diameters to fit your barrel. The stock LW barrel has a groove diameter of .221". If they can make this mold to .2215, it would be IDEAL for that barrel. I have a...

    Powder Coating 101 (picture HEAVY)

    By popular demand, I'm creating this post. Without getting too detailed as to "why" you should powder coat your slugs, I will refer you to the thread titled "Most slugs are a waste of money because you did not slug your barrel" by our friend Roachcreek, who brilliantly explained the importance...
