RAW Rapid Power levels. 35 Raw HM1000x

[etiam.viviens]

I can get a .35/9mm Raw barrel, magazine, and prope fairly cheap.
As my all of my Raw HM1000x are pre 2018 and have the 15 mm mag slot the magazine would not fit but that is ok.
I could not find a lot of informatie on this forum about the Raw HM1000x in .35, power levels or ammunition
Was looking for pressure setting of the regulator and if I need to replace the hammer spring for a heavyer one?

Also I was wondering if the 2018 model can make the 130 footpounds/170 joule that you see on some youtube films from that time.
My .30 set makes about 115 joule and I would be perfectly happy if the 9mm would do about 130/140 joule.

Will not hunt with, just plinking a few times a year.

You will not be happy ... IMO
Plenum is way too small to deliver the required volume of air needed for the caliber. Transfer path as well valve size not up to the task either.

Hard pass !!!!

Set cost about 100 euro so its cheap and I am building a inline plenum to increase the air supply.

Will experiment with it for a wile, can always sell it later.

Any experience with a Raw in .357 or just no confidence in the system in this caliber.

130 foot pounds seems sufficient

I've fired one a bit.
Not all all sure about a conversion (whatca got?). When Martin was building them 200fpe was do-able and I know of 1 that (legally) took over 200 Deer in 2 years and never a bad shot. Could be bumped higher but was not reliable at that power level. What you might be able to achive at home on a conversion????
Have some fun (as long as you can afford it) and keep us posted. Firing behavior at 130fpe ish was truly impressive.

I have two Raw hm1000x pre 2017 originally in .25. They do both 80 joules with jsb king heavy.

I have now 3 conversion sets.
.22 doing 65 joule with jsb monsters 25 grains.
.30 doing 115 joule with jsb 45 grain.
.35 yet to be tested but hoping for 160 plus joules.

Thinking that for the .357 slugs is not on option.
Will do some testing with the .30 slugs.

Building a inline plenum(s)of 35/50/70 cc for my raws and theobens.
