Just ordered the STUD mag and loader kit yesterday. Looking forward to trying it out myself!

I was amazed with the numbers that I almost thought my chronograph was off, lol.
All this talk about the Epoch I got it out and shot a group off my tripod sitting on my stool at 50 yards. My reg is actually at 1620 after it settles down after 1/2 a magazine here’s two quick groups. The first one is not great but the second one’s better. Off a bench it is amazing what it can do. Both are 6 shot groups. The second one I dropped one, that was me but with no rear support but I think it is ok.

I should be receiving my EPOCH slug liner barrel today along with a tin of matched Corbin slugs. I stuck with the standard barrel as I like the current length. The SKOUT team has been great to work with and answered all my questions. Apparently it comes with a stronger HP reg spring but they recommended starting out with the current set up with the HP set at 1700 to 1750 and the LP around 190-200. Should yield the recommended 920fps with the 48.8gr slugs. If any issues getting there then you could try the stronger spring. I also want to see how it shoots 34gr pellets.

Just need to find time to get out to the local range to try it out. In the meantime I will try to chrono it at home to confirm velocity targets at the above settings. Stay tuned.

How did those magazines work out?

The STUD mags work great. Mine could use a little more tension since sometimes the last two pellets don’t advance. .30 caliber JSB 44.75.

Excellent mags (.25) but the real value is if you get the sorter and loader combo. You can have 100 rounds ready to drop in during your shooting session. Quick to refill with the shaker dealio.
