and considering there still wasn’t a Daystate on the podium you proved my point even better. Shooting pellets is that they’re good at and they still don’t win trophies 😂😂😂
Well considering Matt Dubber himself made an entire video about it after the Ace slugs got released and he explained he was shooting THE SAME SLUG that he won RMAC with the year before are you saying he was lying?
Yeah I already got it about unregulated guns.
You’re wrong about opening the block though. It’s not a “plenum” per se, yes that part is obvious. But you are 100% adding more volume for the air to travel through. You can call it “removing restrictions” or whatever but The physics is the same…...
I don’t think you’re gonna see any Daystate taking podiums at big benchrest competitions and the reason is ……slugs.
The top 10 at RMAC last year all shot slugs. The top 9 were shooting ace slugs and Matt Dubber finished in 10th place shooting some other slugs.
Despite the occasional “my...
Did I ever show you my rock chuck video? Hit a big pregnant female right in the throat at 84 yards. She took a 32gr Franco like she was getting a stoma after 30 years of smoking cigs hahaha… she took 0 steps.
I believe most pellet shooters like the 25.39gr pellets out of it. You’re absolutely right about it being too powerful for less than that.
Idk if they changed the hammerspring weight on the newer models. The Gen 1s have a super light spring and even then the gun cooks. It’s why I never...
Thank you bro. Haha it felt like a gamble while I was doing it but the relief of “it works” was incredible.
AGT looks very nice. I haven’t had the pleasure yet but it’s on my list. I bet karma took a page from them with the barrels because theirs are also secured by 8 bolts.
Barrel harmonics...
Sorry but that doesn’t really have anything to do with the bottle pressure. You opened up the block which is basically like adding a plenum. More volume=more mass=more power and thus you can drop the pressure to get the same results you used to get at a higher pressure.
The only part of the...
YUPPPP… that’s why when I started planning my karma build I never considered doing an FX barrel swap. I don’t do barrel liners and the whole harmonic dampener crap.
I took a Lothar barrel blank. Machined only what I needed to fit it into the block so by Airgun standards it’s practically a bull...
Do they? Cuz all I see on the forums is people talking about how difficult it is to get them to shoot slugs.
At the end of the day when I look at the benchrest podiums I see the Karma Red Panda and Fx Panthera.
With Big Bores I see Air Force and to a lesser extent AEA/Bin Tac
When I watch...
No issues here. @Grunt64 is one of the good ones…. And he’s right in this case. I’m just making case that guns on the lower end of .22LR power shouldn’t even be in the discussion cuz it’s just not enough.
Yes I’m aware. But you missed my point. Equating BRK ghost to a .22LR is ludicrous.
Also the BCs on .22LR are so low if you’re not using the very top end of the factory loads then your effective range is like 100y max
Let’s look a a ballistic chart real quick
Winchester 37gr Varmint HE…...
At the muzzle yes “up to 100fpe” at the muzzle is similar to .22 subsonic no doubt.
But since pretty much everyone agrees that .22LR is the NOT the tool for the job I till think this comparison is tenuous at best.
I realize that they have some really big fans but let’s be real it’s not a...
Well considering the speed of sound starts at 1150(ish) then I stand by what I said… 22 sub sonic isnt 22LR. Its a .22 subsonic in a 22LR casing.. average FPE of 80-100fpe at the muzzle…since we all agreed that a regular .22LR isn’t the right tool for the job then I think it’s safe to say that...
Yesssss! Wanna coon hat so bad. We have them here in Utah, they aren’t native so no season and no bag limits… but they pretty much only hang out in town (where I don’t live) and so I’ve only seen one total.
True words right here from an OG who knows.
This time of year I’m daytime calling mostly but spring/summer is all about the night work.
Luckily I’m not in the woods but in the open sage and desert of SW Utah…. BUT you definitely gotta trust your instinct. I do 90% of my calling alone and...
Buck rail is what I had until I got a Heartland Air moderator. Slightly more expensive than a Buck Rail but it’s smaller, carbon fiber wrapped and just as quiet as a $150 a DonnyFl.
Also the .30 cal version on my EQ doesn’t change the POI at all. I set the zero without the mod and then screwed...
