Airgun Technologies Vulcan 3 .306

Just some info on first few days with Vulcan 3 in .306

I picked up (two) Vulcan 3's (one for my better half) and these guns shoot great, I am impressed. Tony from https://talontunes.com/ hooked us up and was a great help with info. He tuned them up so when we opened the boxes they were pretty much set, so far no tuning on my part but I will be experimenting a bit with different slugs.

The first 2 pics were at 50 yards with AVS 62.5 gr dish hollow point slugs... avg velocity @ 940 fps...the 3rd pic was 100yds smashing pumpkins with the same AVS slugs.

My better half who has never shot rifles before must be a natural because the 4th and 5th pic is of her and her 50 yard group...first time shooting so she was allowed that one flyer!!!

The last 2 pics were with 5 round group 62 gr hollow point dish made by Varmint Knocker...were supposed to be knurled up to .306 but unless my micrometer is off I measured 5 slugs with an average of .3045 but they still did pretty good. One flyer on that group and was 100% me I totally twitched and dipped the barrel as soon as I pulled the trigger so definitely not the slugs.

I did get a bit better averages on fps with the AVS but as far as accuracy at 100 yards they were close, I'll do more of a comparison soon, waiting on more AVS slugs to come

So to sum up the first few days with the Vulcan 3 ....Love it....only thing I'd point out is tuning requires disassembling the air rifle so that would be the only drawback but balanced well, points well and is obviously accurate although options for .306 is limited as far as I can see. AVS seems to be the only one making .3063 that I can find. If someone has found another source please share...would love to test out other options.

Thanks

Zeke,
Bought two AGTs myself from Krale, earlier this year, selfishly, both for me. Same caliber as yours, 700mm barrel, Uragan 2 does well with JSB 44.75 grain pellets, V3, not so much. AVS 306.3 (61 grain) flat base slugs shoot perfect but $28 per 100, yikes! ZANS Projectiles, an AGN sponsor, just offered a .30 ZAN slug assortment box for those wanting to try, think that's my next step. Great shooting by you and your wife. WM

Thanks for the info, How is shooting the Uragan compared to the Vulcan?

Thanks for the info, How is shooting the Uragan compared to the Vulcan?

Uragan 2 is less harsh in operation and shooting, also quieter, no depinger needed. Balance, shouldering and power are the same. AGT won me over with Uragan .25 (Synthetic) so decided next was first synthetic V3 or U2 (.30-700mm). Krale and AGT dropped both at the same time, ordered U2, month later, V3. Grand total was $2,630 to-my-door. Balanced valve in U2 lasted two months, shooting full power, squib, full, squib, etc. New valve installed by Krale Warranty Dept., OK since. U2 puts as many JSB 44.75s in quarter-size circle @ 50 yds. as you want, V3 doesn't. Both shoot AVS .3063 slugs with same accuracy as yours. Very grateful to own both, just need to find slug V3 likes that isn't .28 cents per shot. ZANS .30 assorted slug box is one option, also sells .303 slugs separately, costs are good but steep shipping charges only makes sense with larger orders. WM

You're welcome, keep us informed of swaging research, figure someone will eventually figure out less expensive options. WM

Nothing AVS offers in .30 cal is more than $21.89 per 100. The 61 grain are $19.31 per 100. All diameters (3003, 3013, 3033, 3063 and 3083) are below $21.89 per 100 upto 110 grains
Just want to be sure there is no confusion about pricing. Only the .3083 120 grain is $22.50 per 100

still 22c per one is huh

No argument there, just can't ignore taxes and shipping charges, I always figure to-my-door pricing when discussing purchases. Shipping and taxes, agreed, are what they are, out of the hands of seller and purchaser. When comparing purchasing value from Krale, ZANS and other vendors, what gets charged to the credit card for product to arrive at my home, is my true price. WM
P.S. Grateful for all you do for our hobby, "how-to videos," and AVS ammo are most appreciated.
