I thought you mentioned (Nov 15, 2022) that you "cannot see how gyroscopic over stability can be a cause of pellet spiralling". Or can gyroscopic stability impact spiraling in some other way, perhaps a relationship between dynamic stability and gyroscopic stability?

@Ballisticboy, Is there any sort of quantified guidance available on when spiraling occurs or doesn't occur? For example is there a minimum ratio of velocity to RPM for a given BC or other pellet characteristic to ensure no spiraling?

Whatever gives highest BC at 18-20 fpe.

What was your typical distance? What muzzle fps?

I've tried coating and heat curing pellets (HiTek coating). No carbon build-up in barrel, but terrible accuracy/precision likely due to inconsistent coating of pellets, despite putting very thin coatings for each of 3 to 4 coats.

I have too many moderators and don’t use my Silent Thunder Ordnance Pugio very often. Original cost to me in 2022 was $103 delivered. Specs: 103 grams 100 mm length, 40 mm diameter .177 - .30 caliber range 1/2x20 UNF threading Aluminum end caps (for durability) It is an efficient little...

@Firewalker How do you disassemble your EaZy Fill? Mine is leaking from the bottom brass screw with the two indents in it. Not sure what tool I need to unscrew that. Regards.

Yes. I was thinking about all the BC testing you guys have done and reported. Did the BC's align with the wind sensitivities of the barrels that Arzrover tried in his USFT? And thanks for all the data-based insights you, Arzrover, and other provide on this site. I have learned a lot. Hope...

Hi @Arzrover I'm going over old posts on USFTs and ballistic coefficients. After reading your comments on barrels that were more vs less wind sensitive, I'm wondering if you measured the BC of pellets shot from each. I sometimes wonder if BC is a consistent, reliable measure of wind...

With the Protektor rear rest, how do you prevent changing side torques on the butt stock as you pan across the card? If you shoot vertically, perhaps a bit of adjustment can be made as you move from column to column. But I think you've said you shoot left to right; do you adjust the rest as...

Thank you for allowing guns with Daystate-like electronic triggers to compete in regular classes. Would it be possible to permit tethering, or at least give MD's the OK to permit it. I think tethering is much safer than seeing shooters attaching/detaching air lines to guns during matches.

Do you range at 16x? Is the loss of the "snap-in" (that the X503 provided but not as much with the X505) a problem at 16x? And have you found the ranging repeatable, i.e., a 53 yard target shows up as 53 each time you range it. Regards.

Medium size ( 2.5 inch), light brown. Holds 125 .177 pellets. Used once. Doesn't fit my shooting technique. No marring or scratches; snaps perfectly. $30 delivered in continental US. (I paid $48 delivered directly from Wilkins.) PayPal F&F or Zelle. Perfect holiday gift.

I'm guilty of "liking" a listing. It's usually something I've admired but can't justify buying at the asking price and "secretly hope" the seller might contact me if they can't sell it at the asking price. Or it is something I have or had, and love.

I fill my regulated 2023 (250 bar operating pressure) S500 to 240 bar. How do you know what incoming pressure was? How fast was air coming in? The manual says to trust the air source tank's gauge more than the S500's gauge due to it lagging the fill pressure.

I rely on actual shots-to-targets from 10 to 55 yards to develop a holdover dope sheet. Whenever I adjust the scope height, BC, and zero in Strelock to calculate holdovers that match up with my real world holdovers, I invariably find I have to put in a high BC (using the GA drag-function...

I should have mentioned that because FT hunter division limits setting scope magnification to 16x, it is best to use 16x when checking 10 yard focus and the ability to distinguish yardages in the 50-55 range. Thanks for all your data collection and reporting.

Good write-up. My key questions in the search for a great hunter division FT scope are: - Does it focus to 10 yards? - How many degrees of focus knob rotation between 40 and 55 yards ranging? How many degrees between 10 and 55 yards ranging? - How finely can it differentiate yardages between...
