Double checking the dope on my long barreled Alphawolf because I can’t believe how long and flat the trajectory is. Then I shot 80 field targets - one after the other.
Stellar gun on a very windy day.

What did you do airgun related today.
- Thread starter Florida_Man
- Start date
Spent some time shooting the norica dream hunter 22 today...cleaned my glasses...shot some more below average groups. Came in and worked on the trigger...and cleaned the barrel. 20 patches to get a remotely clean 1. Trigger feels better, group sizing restored.

...they are shooting pretty well...5 shots 28.55 grn JSB JM's @ 25 yds off new tripod...pretty close to same POI as 18.13 grn JSB's...
...I thought everybody in FL had iguanas...I love my CZ 200's...I bought my .17 as a Daisey...it has killed many sparrows...

...I am tempted to fool with that now although with the way the rifle is set now, I can shoot 18.13 or 28.55 grn pellets w/o adjusting or compensating @ 25 yards...
...so, with the magazine setup the way it is with two magazines I can load each with different pellets and then select from either pellet by just switching magazines...
...I would like to see how it shoots those Jumbo Monsters @ 900+ FPS...might as well set it up for those and forget aboot the light pellets, eh...
...save'm for the Attaman AP 16 and the Cayden n' such...
...it is just that I have thousands of those and hundreds of the others so will probably leave it for now...

More shooting with Dream Hunter 22 today testing out yesterday's work. Time to chronograph again soon, got over 1k rounds through it at this point. Yesterday's trigger work is definitely an improvement, but there is still room for it to be better/lighter. Break is super crisp. I did some light polishing of the barrel as well. Mainly trying to stop the barrel from leading up as quickly. Please hold off on the lectures i have seen the mess threads in the archives turn into. Groups at 20 yards are solid, and on target. Standing, at 20, unsupported off hand. I have done worse things...

I ran a full string with my 10 gr slug tune as it stands. Its shooting 10gr Zan and Knockouts at 970 fps.
I used 13 gr JSB Redesigns because nothing I have likes them.

Another round of trigger work....finally got it. Getting a set up like this correct will really give you an appreciation for an adjustable trigger where you just have to turn a screw or 2 to get 90% of everything you want. Solid definition of the first to 2nd stage, really crisp break, zero creep, and very light 2nd stage. Which is good because I have contacted Norica and the adjustable trigger they use in other models is not something you can swap into this rifle for an upgrade.

I put cans up to cut in half. As few shots as possible. Painted orange. 
Cleaning up the old. Here’s a shot at catching the rim.

My younger brother wanted more power on his truck gun. So had to make a new bigger plenum (32cc) and opened up the Notos block more to 4.8 straight thru the barrel, reg still at 2200 psi. I hope he will finally be happy with this tune, 945 f/sec using JTS 18.1s for 36 fpe.

After I cleaned my barrel. It’s shot about 250 slugs and 100 13 gr pellets since the last cleaning.
I took a few test shots after cleaning. Left before, right after. Right is 5 shots, single to the right was the first shot after cleaning. Then it piled the next 4. Only at 10 meters.

Thanks, my 25 cal Notos gets 41+ fpe, but took me over six months of experimenting to get there.

So I took some time today just for me and upgraded my ghost with a few PRS parts and changed the striker spring. Then to the bench for some bullseye time at 25 and 50 yards. Can’t say enough positive about the ghost, a well thought out platform.

Working thru parts on the Notos Slugger. I hit 975fps last night with CPHP's, looking for 1200fps, still have one more thimble and a plenum to add plus a hammer weight to try.

Ordered aluminum round stock T6511 1.25" for Notos tank end caps and ordered some Diana 19 mm diameter air gauges.
