Air Force Condor .25

[DarylS]

Anyone shoot the NOE bullets yet? I have just purchased the moulds - in a DC, one BTHP at 48gr., the other cavity a HBFP at 51gr., the other mould is a 4-cavity BTFP all 51gr.

The only shooting I have done is 20 yards, which was not a test, as all pellets and bullets made little oblong 5-shot groups less than 3 bullets wide. has anyone tested these at
longer ranges or on field rats or any other verim?

Daryls i have not shot those exact bullets but have shot the hunters supply bullets at airgun depot. I bought the round nose 49 grain bullet. They shot pretty well out of my .25 Condor SS with the original top hat and power wheel wide open. Think i got about 79 or 80 foot pounds. At 100 yards they were still pretty tight. More than good enough for bigger game. (Not Big Game) If you have a regular condor those bullets should be even better with the extra power. Can you post some pics of the pellets?

I do not know so please bear with me.

Isn't the LW barrel AF uses choked? And a choked barrel may be the the very best for shooting solids?

Certainly would like to see pictures of your molds, ammo and groups at different ranges.

Thanks,
John

Also that the bullets should be .252 not .257, unless of course you are using a TJ's barrel liner or other sourced barrel.

Sry- took so long to reply.
My new mould is a 4-cavity casting 51gr. @ .252/3" I moly coat them with a spray, Lyman or MS Moly. Both work.

I have had great success sizing slugs down and shooting them in AF LW barrel. I use NSA slugs and size down using NOE push through airgun sizing dies it works very well.
