    Tuning PP750 .22 -- Just stopped shooting for some reason

    Had this .22 cal PP750 about 11 months and shot easily couple thousand rounds through it. Broke a poppet back in January and that was easily replaced. So when the pistol stopped shooting a couple weeks ago, figured it was another broken poppet. Alas, not the case. Will be stripping down to the...

    HW35E .22 - New rifle chrono

    Received an HW35E in .22 cal few days back. Gathered up the new out of box chrono numbers on the pellets I keep around. Out of box, pivot bolt needed about 1/8th turn to tighten, forestock bolt the same and the bolts on trigger guard were pretty snug. First shot through sounded pretty smooth...

    HW100 SK.22 + NSA 20.2gr -- half the BC ? 0.0277 ?

    Classify me as "slug curious." Pushing NSA 20.2gr 0.217 DB-HPs at about 710FPS from an HW100 SK .22, 41cm bbl, I attempted to calculate a BC from drops at range. Came up with a BC 0.0277, and that is about half the published 0.075. From a 26 YD ZERO, get about 1MIL (1.6 inches drop, avg 0.45"...

    GEICO meets Daisy PMAXHP

    These Daisy pellets are just about the worst pellets on QC. One redeeming quality is that they are sufficiently accurate at ten yards and about 240FPS MV, that's two pumps on my Crosman 1322. So, knocking back the day geckos is within their abilities. This is the GEICO gecko supposedly...

    HW100 SK .22 - New out of the box target & chrono work

    Shot off a tripod and hog saddle for the chrono and target work this past weekend. Pulled patches right off and was dirty, greasy, like axle grease. Rifle is shooting up to 3 magazines (42 total) from a fill, as spec'd by Weihrauch for the 35J, 41cm bbl and rifle length air tube. Happy with that...

    Tuning RAW .25 -- Leak (air *PUFF*) around probe? [SOLVED]

    Hello -- Am experiencing a *PUFF* of air exiting the mag well, pretty much every shot when mag fed. Can't track it when finger feeding. Seems to be channeled out the magazine recess, indicated in photo. Cleaned the barrel today, went out for leading in and check POI change at 50YD zero, and...

    Barred dove with all its toes

    Been pulling patches an hour or so, was just about to start on the PP750 , when this guy shows up. I get a serious *THING* going for these Barred doves ever since one shed a poxy toe into my coffee at an outdoors Starbucks years ago. Down they go at every available opportunity. Real happy with...

    PP750 -- I'll take that, CPHPs!

    Switched to CPHPs 14.3s for something different in the PP750 .22. Finished with a wind-free 25YD zero at lunch today. Got one good chrony shot of 634 FPS (@200bar), and then "batt". This pistol is pretty consistent so, 634 it is. Evenings here the wind lays down for a while before switching...

    Optisan CP3-12x32 on HW100, recommend mount? [MOUNTED]

    Hello -- There's an HW100 SK .22cal in my future, and thinking of topping it with an Optisan CP 3-12x32. Below mashup photo is fair on scaling using some known dimensions. As the scope is compact, and a rough idea where ocular will fall, seems like two-piece mounts straddling the mag well might...

    This guy gets a pass

    I been watching this boar over the past year maybe. Watched him grow up guess you might say. Just a handsome fella, that when the light hits just right, he lights up deep red. Wishing this fella a long life. Photo from a permission down the road. But, these ones, yeah, its been a busy July...

    Side mount holo for TalonP? Seek suggexns.

    Hello -- Been a couple situations where a backup open sight may have been useful. So seek your folks' recommendaxns for a side mount holo for my TalonP, for those ca. 10YD shots. Really picky about the particular POI I need for a kill shot, so will take lot of practice to get the hang of one...

    Rekindling my love of the Hades .25

Both are 40 YD shots, sending Hades .25 at 870 fps (last chrony, 232 port, TT88gr hammer, PW6). The sow dropped on...

    All of a sudden my TalonP likes slugs, what gives?

    Hello -- Bought a TalonP .25 last May 2020. Shot it EVERYDAY for year straight, for some 30+ empty tins in the garage cupboard. OK, maybe there were a few rained out days in there... I had read of folks getting mixed results with slugs in this choked LW barrel, but bought a selection of NSA...
