Made some modifications to my classified posting today.

So, I shot the EscapeSS with the .20 barrel in it until the heat drove me inside. wind was 9-15 about 80-degree crosswind. Shot the 15gr JSB for the first time. They were okey but the 13gr JSB will keep them all in the red dot. I did not shoot them today. The 11gr H&N were awful, going way too fast. The 14 grain slugs fell out of the barrel and are unusable. The NSA 18 grain slugs were shooting a 3-inch group at 30 yards before powder coating them. After 2 coats of powder coat the best group was .590ctc at 30yd with 30fpe. So, it worked and I think I will try a 3rd coat just to see what happens. The 15gr pellets would do much better with some tunning but I was tunning more for the 18gr slugs. I guess now I will want to try the Zan 20gr. So now I have a .20, .22, and .25 barrels for this gun, guess I will have to get a .177 someday for it just because. This is still my favorite gun to play with, even more fun with a Condor tank on it.

That's an impressive accuracy gain with your powder coated experiment ammo!

This morning I fired my 250z and my Falcon FN19 (single shot). The 250z at 50yds and the FN19 at 38yds. Pretty much my normal morning routine unless I'm hunting or fishing that day, or have some other commitment.

Also, cleaned, adjusted and thread-locked a couple Reximex magazines that the center screw was backing out on after a few mag fills.

Next time I will try to use a plastic shrimp deveining tool or a nylon Oring pick to seat the 14grain slugs into the barrel farther to engage the rifling without marring the barrel, so they don't fall back out and maybe I will get them to group.

I adjusted the hammer spring/regulator on .177 Nova liberty to shoot jsb monster 13.43 in the 900-880 range and it's hole In hole accurate at 20 yards. Regulator is running at 2100 psi. Feels in tune right now! The last 15 shots were dead on, scope was out pretty far as I swapped to a bug buster 4-12x40 I received w a rifle a while ago. The eye relief is better than the pinty 3-9x40 and IR light is good quality. Forgot I had it!

Knock on wood I'm done fooling with this a while and can enjoy it.

Replaced two leaking O-rings and desiccant in my HPA filter.

Smart idea

On the road, which is keeping momentum from trigger time. But... I reached out to Mike Tiehen of AGM/TKO, since I am back in Omaha for the first time in 30 years. Maybe I'll get a quick hey with him tomorrow, or I'll at least get memories for what I hope is not another 30 years. Shoot straight and stay safe all.

Happy visit to Omaha, great time to visit the zoo!
