Hmmmmm
wonder if the barrel in my Taipan is that much smaller or if it is just expanding upon receipt of the air blast?

It could be that happening CB. I have two different length barrels for one of my at44's. Sizing the pellets for head size then pushing them through the barrel. One cuts much deeper grooves than the other. I'm wondering if it's the rifling tool wearing out causing this. Just a guess on my part lol

I look forward to hearing some more great feedback!
Here are some 28 grain H.P. H.B. that are .495 long and .218 dia.
Wonder how they’ll fly???Upvote 0
Yes !!! A one way ticket to the furry feral baby/ Varmint/ pest/ feathered foreign invader afterlife if they have one!!! Transportation provided by a high speed pneumatic lead delivery system!!!Upvote 0
Jim if the lord allows me I’ll get you some of these I.C.B.M’s (28grain) I the mail this week!

Those 28 grain look like they'll be deadly! Can't wait to see the results you get with those bad boys.

I only had about 15 minutes while it was getting dark and was just guessing. ! Lol 
I shot approximately 40 shots (from two partial fills) and majority were at the water bottle ( bottom left) for sighting . It was just to dim for the hits on my reactive target to be seen.
At 265 yards in the dim light all I could do was alternate taking shots between the bottle and pellet tin .I would shoot at the bottle, see to the poi and then try the dark target. I could hear but no visual.
All of the hits on the aluminum sheet metal backstop show that the bullets are flying and hitting head on !!!
That made me real happy!!! I was looking at the target and said to my son “ that’s the Hollow Point print ” I saw the round imprint with the dot in n the middle and knew it hit square on the nose!
️️️.
I looked down and immediately found one of the evenly crushed Spitzers ,
! Times seven! It was dark and I was using my cell phone light finding them at up to four feet from the backstop. How Beautiful they looked in the dirt and rocks,@ they were like a little gold nuggets of valuable information!!!️

Shazam! Most excellent news C_B! Looks like they are flying straight and true. Good shooting by any measure for almost 300 yards with a "bb" gun.
Those skid marks on the skirt are beautiful, btw.
Shot'em gooder than good, ya did.

The small step at the back edge of your slugs reminded me of an experimental airfoil known as the Kfm. It has a step down on the surface to reduce parasitic drag. I would not be surprised at all if that small shelf on your slug's trailing edge turned out to be beneficial to the BC. Or it could be lack of sleep making surreal things seem rational

How many feet of drop does your computer tell you for that range? At muzzle velocity I see approximately .85 seconds time in flight.

Thanks guys! Ken , Jim,
the StrelokPro shows 174 “ OMG that’s over 14’!!! And 1.13 seconds of flight time! Enough time for a smoke break and maybe a sweet text to Mama!

And I’ve never heard of the Kfm but surely will check into it.

And speed of sound on the return trip would be another .5 seconds +/-. Almost 1.5 seconds et from trigger to report back. That is a long shot!
