I switch back to the 350 mm barrel with the reg sit at 130 bar. To test out the moderator insert for the stock moderator. To be perfectly honest I really don’t notice much sound difference between the stock, insert and DonnyFL Shogun suppressor. They all have a slight different tone but for me in the shooting position I don’t notice a significant difference in sound volume.
Tested some pellets and slugs at 130 bar regulator setting and found the JSB kings, Heavies and hades performed great as expected. But I was extremely surprised that the JSB KnockOuts .33.49gr at this low speed of around 800fps are very accurate at 38 yards in my L2. Going to play with the regulator settings and probably put my larger Plenum back on to see what works best with these slugs. If things work out this might be my go to hunting set up.

Ed also tested those:

@towle,
in the video ED is shooting the 33.95gr KnockOuts not the 33.49gr knockouts. 33.95gr knockouts don’t fit the magazine properly and will fall out of the mag, also he was using polygon barrel. 33.49gr knockouts fit the magazine tighter,ED posted a video with them last week but he was still using a polygon barrel. I will test them using my 450mm polygon barrel to see if they are as accurate compared to the 350mm rifled barrel.

Such a sweeping statement is simply not true. Coating a part does not mean it's been made of the wrong material. I know a lot of engineers that would disagree with you.

Increase reg pressure to 150 bars and shot another group at 38 yards with the JSB knockouts 33.49. Still shooting very accurate. I will reinstall larger Plenum later this week and do some more testing.

I have worked with engineers my whole life and they DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING that should be used in the real world... Page 119 I believe is where Ed said the rusted so they played them!

I have been an engineer for most of my adult life. We certainly don't know everything (and usually it's only the shiny new ones that think they do...), but there is also not always a "right" answer. We'd all love the parts on our guns to be lightweight, super-rigid, without being brittle, corrosion and chemical proof, abrasion-resistant, non-galling, dimensionally stable across all temperatures, lubricous (except when they shouldn't be), and of course, dirt cheap. But... real life doesn't work that way so we trade one attribute, say abrasion resistance, for another, say corrosion resistance - all with cost considerations. And, of course, sometimes we choose poorly, and other times we're wrong - we are, after all, partly human. But we sure do hear from a lot of armchair experts who don't even know what the question was.

Exactly. One of the biggest things I've learned through my engineering career so far is that we don't know everything. I just can't stand sweeping statements like the bolded one so I had to say something.

Just posted speed loader design files in .177, .22, .25 and .30 cal, if you own a 3D printer, be kind and print some for you mates

How was it a sweeping statement when Ed even said the material rusted so they played it....we all know air guns are used in weather and at least I know 400 series stainless rusts!
I'm not bashing edgun I actually have been shooting them from the beginning but if I was to build something like that and chose the wrong material and had a crappy plating job done I would have to offer replacements or be shunned by my customer's.

I shot a couple of group at 50 yards with the JSB knockouts 33.49. and a group with JSB King Heavies mk2 33.95gr.

Can anybody say definitively what the twist rates are on the LW and Alpha barrels?
I'm looking specifically at .22 LW, .25 Alpha and .30 Alpha.

Yesterday i recived the insert from raxim777, who is a very nice guy, very profesional, really a big different, back yard-frienly now my L2.

raxim777 is a nice guy and very easy to do business with. I have a .25 with a 350mm barrel. With the regulator set at 130 and 150 the insert change the shot tone to a slightly deeper pneumatic sound but from my shooting position I really did not notice much of a sound level difference.(note I have worked for the fire Dept for almost 30 years so the sirens and airhorns have left my hearing far from perfect)What caliber, barre length and what is your regulator set at?
