    .25 springer

    .25 springers rule! I have an HW90 (gas ram) in .25 and has become a real favorite since I had it tamed down a bit. It was very hard to cock and didn't group well and was just to violent until the good folks at AOA took some gas from it, and now it's better than any of my HW springers (if...

    Wheel weights for pellet casting?

    For swaging, pure lead is the way to go, for casting it's the same with maybe a bit of tin added, to help with mold fill out. Either way, with the softer alloy you may get some needed expansion, not so with ww alloy at 900 or so fps.

    My first time casting, what did I do wrong?

    I agree with the 2 previous posters, however another potential problem is that the mold is cooling off as you cast from the cold temps. The small lee alum. molds warm quickly but also cool off very quickly in cold temps. Take it inside in the cold weather and use a fan to vent fumes, cast hot...

    Owners of the HW90 (a.k.a. Beeman RX2)…what are your thoughts?

    Mines in .25 and arrived new with way too much (gas press.) and it could not keep its mounts on, AOA fixed both problems and now it's my favourite break barrel, okay to cock although diff. than a springer...very accurate, but haven't cronographed it yet. Would def. recommend it.

    Gas Ram owners what scopes are you using

    My .25 cal. HW90 wears a Hawke Airmax and I have had no trouble with it, mounts are a different story as I've had problems keeping them form sliding. Took my gun back to AOA and they fixed it up good, now no problems.

    Benjamin Jim Shockey Steel Eagle 495FPS

    It was prolly meant for the canadian market where that is the limit before it is considered a firearm, and you have to go through all the bs to buy one, something not req'd. in the USA (yet).

    Tuning Hw90 detune

    Does anyone know how to detune an hw90 .25, this is a gas piston, theoben, kinda deal, I need to know how to reduce the pressure in cyl. and also fill it if it gets too low from me messing with it. Any special tools req'd., mine is too powerful and I believe it is the reason it is not as...

    What is a pest to you?

    The law spells out what is a pest and what is game, what's a songbird, what's a migratory bird, etc. After that it's the 3 S's, shoot, shovel and shutup!

    I need help

    Headshots only or they will die slowly in their holes, like groundhogs, and gophers, they are conditioned to jump down their holes at the first sign of trouble, which includes a non-lethal hit.

    Groundhog Eats 142gr Slug

    They are tough animals, I've shot hundreds with lotsa different cf. cals, and with any airgun I would only use a brain shot or the animal will make it down it's hole and suffer until death. Shooter should have waited for a clean head shot.

    Bullet casting for 257 Texan

    I'd go with pure lead (soft), you'll need to know what diameter you need .251, 257, or .258, as well as a mold, you may need some way to size your boolits, to test for best accuracy. Good luck, casting slugs has worked out better for me than casting pellets, and I have been casting bullets for...

    Shoulder shot

    The shoulder shot is used here on large and/or dangerous game to prevent the animal from turning on the hunter, it is meant to immobilize the animal. In this case, an animal was intentionally shot in the shoulder with a marginally effective/bullet/gun, the animal was wounded and may have...

    HW30S ❤️

    Great looking, handy rifle, I should get one although I already have its big brother, the HW95, nice all wood and steel not like most plastic PCPs.

    N/A Underlever Fever

    Beautiful collection, I'd take any one of those over any 5 plastic PCPs, I like my 97 and TX200, the only downside is the weight as I like to use springers for hunting and for that I prefer my HW95. IMHO

    HW110 carbine ..go traditional or thumbhole stock?

    Of the 2 choices I'd def. go with the Lam. thumbhole, plastic always looks cheap, my first choice is always nice walnut, which shouldn't be a problem on $2500 guns.

    First Hunt with FX Maverick Compact in .22

    Is that gun on low power? Seems like hits should be more final, maybe use a HP or Hades?
