Avenger .25 ... 110 FPE !?

[revenger]

New best with slug

 

[revenger]

Well that was short lived lol. New slug best which is due to reg creep or when I fill fast via tank it overpowers the regulator which means the gun wants more pressure for the amount of hammer spring I have.

 

[revenger]

Another day and another small jump in power.

108 fpe on a 25! That's right at rf power. Excellent. Nice looking rig too.

There is something very gratifying about pushing and improving an air rifle.

Yes it seems I keep finding new limits and improving upon them.

 

[revenger]

Keep it pushing.

Wood stock? I'll take that off your hands if you ever get tired of shooting it

No it was a synthetic stock. I just put a buck rail tactical stock on it. Basically nothing stock on the gun anymore.

You can do that but you will still be jealous of revenger's achievement.

100 FPE on a squirrel is interesting lol. Makes a very solid whack!

I’ll be jealous when I see a .5 in shot group at 50 yds.

It has done it but consistently is tough right now at this power level. The slugs are running a bit too fast for the twist rate per the calculations. Got some faster twist barrels being made. I can see what I can do though with current one.

 

[CharlieF]

Great, I would be curious to see the groups after you set it up with the new barrels.

Best 2 groups I could shoot today with the conditions. This is at 51 yards with the new to me Altaros 49.5 grain slugs. Current barrel is 1:22 twist which calculates to just under stabilizing this slug. Wind was pretty steady 15mph or so.

 

[revenger]

The 2 holes off to the side we're both point of aim for me.

 

[CharlieF]

Great shooting under those conditions, i’m impressed.
