    EVOL the new EVOL .22

    I would say for your needs, yea pellets make the most sense definitely. Slugs are for longer range windy conditions hunting and pesting, it doesn't sound like that will be something you will need. A really good compromise are the jts 22.07 pellets, phenomenal pellet. As far as the hybrids...

    EVOL the new EVOL .22

    Yea, from the picture it looks like you have some keyholing. At 100 yards you'd be lucky to hit the box. Its not the slugs, its the slug match to the gun. For whatever reason our tj barrels do not tend to like nsa slugs. Other than Dana, who somehow gets his Evols to shoot 20.2s very well. I...

    EVOL the new EVOL .22

    Dana is the only one I've seen them work for lol. I really wanted the 20.2s to be my slug but they just would not shoot. 23 grain were horrible and the 24.7 even in 217 head size were so tight going in I felt like they wouldn't get out the barrel...and in fact, I watched one TUMBLE out of my...

    EVOL the new EVOL .22

    My advice is to steer clear of NSA for the Evol. I love NSA slugs and the brand, so I tried every weight that made sense, head sizes and tunes. Nothing worked past 50 yards. For the 15", I'd stick to 21-23 grain, 217 head size. On a reg tune from 2k-2150 try 21 h&n, 21 javelin, or rmr 22...

    Pellets vs. Slugs

    Hopefully you can see above, that high BCs win for long range. Whether or not you need an airgun for long range, is subjective. I spend almost all of my airgun trigger time shooting pests of all kinds, at various distances in all different weather conditions. I can tell you without a doubt even...

    Pellets vs. Slugs

    Sorry my friend , but that is inaccurate data. Here are 6 of my own ballistics charts, top 2 pellet, middle 2 airgun slug and last 2 are 22lr. These are practical airgun tunes, you can absolutely get a 40 grain airgun slug with the same BC as a 22lr going the same speed and your results will be...

    Thankyou Tom. Everything has been working fine since airing back up but good to know they can be replaced 👍

    EVOL Evol Regulator re seal

    Thanks for chiming in Tom. I did use all correct o rings, and good to know about the Bellvilles. This seal here where the adjuster screw meets the piston, is it delrin? Is it possible to source a replacement?

    EVOL Evol Regulator re seal

    Exactly! Those o rings have experienced countless fill cycles, temp swings from down to single and up to triple digits, adjustments, 10s of thousands of shot cycles and were somehow still doing thier job..but they were close to done and like the universe would have it, they likely would have...

    EVOL Evol Regulator re seal

    Ya know anymore i just consider o rings what they are, maintenance consumables. They get old, break, wear out, etc which is why I only have guns i can work on and I keep a crap ton of o rings on hand. Those were the original ones in the reg, have never had it apart until today. I have adjusted...

    EVOL Evol Regulator re seal

    My gun has seen some field miles, and so today I decided it was time to do a full reseal, including the reg. Needless to say, they were due, I also had a slight bit of green tarnish on the brass piston and adjuster screw from a bit of moisture over time. All of it came clean with a rag wipe...

    Break Barrel HW50S

    Sorry OP not meaning to be a downer just want to pass off my experiences so that you can really get the full hw experience and not go through the "out of box woes" so many first time HW owners go through. They are truly great shooters. Check all stock screws out of box and tighten check as you...

    Break Barrel HW50S

    Definitely at the very least this will help. The funny part is, the current gun i have had to have a new reciever. I got it and thought "you know what, im just going to shoot this out of the box, no more tuning" . A month later and probably 2000 shots nothing smoothed out, except what did happen...

    Break Barrel HW50S

    I have this love hate for weihrauch. I hate them out of the box, much prefer diana or any other springer. But, a tuned hw is my favorite springer hands down. I also have a very big beef with that exact point and have even tried contacting hw directly letting them know my thoughts. A $400...

    Break Barrel HW50S

    I was a springer fanatic a handful of years ago. I've had the pleasure of owning hw30s and hw30s deluxe in .22, a beeman R9 in .22, hw95 deluxe in .20, 3 hw50s in 177, 22, and 20, diana 34 in 22, diana 460 mag in 22 and diana 48 in 22. All were tuned to beautiful shooters through spring kits...

    What actually MOVES when a scope gets bumped?

    I think that's another good point that is very valid.

    Dear Santa(or Tom, whomever this finds) , ive been a mediocre good boy this year and all I want for Christmas is all the cool things you and your elves have made in your workshop. Signed a broke man with credit cards😁

    What actually MOVES when a scope gets bumped?

    So in my line of work, I do have an understanding of nitrogen and what it's used for. They use it in many applications to purge an atmosphere of impurities, gases etc. , creating an environment that is unaffected by outside sources. In liquid form, it is colder than -300f , im not sure in gas...
