I on my 4th tin of new shallow redesigned, all skirt depths seem constant. Still get a odd flyer, probably me though. I've still got 19 tins of MRD from 22, definitely worse than my experience with the new ones so far. I mentioned and hoped the current new ones stayed consistent. Hopefully...

Had the same delivered last Monday. Happy times 😁.

I've had the new redesigned since last year. My 2 RTI prophet's like the deep, Daystate regal prefers the shallow. Mostly tested at 72 yards, the length of my yard. They like speed. One hole groups mainly. Im happy, just hope the quality remains good. I'm once more converted to the...

Measured with my cheap calipers, so not to be taken as fact.😉 Shallow 1.85 mm Deep. 2.33 mm 2022. 2.20 mm Left to right. Deep, shallow, 22 batch.

Just go and enjoy it. Good luck 👍. My first experience of a competition, I hardly spoke the local language, literally had no idea. Scored badly, nervous etc. Second day, doubled my bad score. Long story short, got friends from all over the world, met some great people and visited a few nice...

Look at the numbers on the back of the tin Last two digits are the year of manufacture. I have both variants of the new redesigned. My older redesigned manufactured 22, look like neither of the new depths. Something in between the new variants. I'll get some pictures at the weekend. All 3...

I've decided to leave it at the power it currently is. Smooth 🙂. Probably will finally put a scope on. Just need to find something. Just last month I gave a friend a 25 year old Bushnell, it would have been perfect. Life 🤣.

I have 2 compressor's and 3 bottles, I've probably tried every possible method of filling guns and bottles. For the last year I simply fill my bottles and fill the rifles from the bottle. So simple and easy. In the past I made filling so complicated just trying to save a few minutes. Now...

Just had my Slavia out, plinking perfectly. Chronograph shows 173 ms, 8.14 joules. Or approximately 566 fps, 6 ft lbs. Using jsb exact 8.44 gr. Speed was lower than I recall, perhaps last time I used lighter pellets. Very nice to shoulder and shoot, I had forgotten how smooth it was. It's...

My RTI prophet 2 is called " the corpse". It died before I had even fired one pellet. Multiple transplants, a trip to RTI HQ, weeks of nail bitting, the corpse survived. Great rifle. It's spent more time dressed like a mummy just for travelling, passed through Romania 4 times, it was probably...

.177 for lower power and trajectory, .22 for general all round. .25 just as a experiment, same with .30. Hooligan period.🙂 Since I stopped hunting, I realised that power isn't perfection. It just masked imperfections. Lower caliber is perfection, learn, then ' bend it like Beckham theory.'...

Currently set up in .22 caliber. Testing latest JSB pellets. One is normally a slug pusher, the other a .177 barn gun. Definitely a flexible and enjoyable rifle to own.

I'm also a Prophet fan, my two, prophet compact and P2, Both have more flexibility than me 😉.

I've known guys buy the Slavia just for the barrel. I've been tempted but prefer to keep things intact. Parts are still available in Europe, just need to study languages harder. Ohhhh this hobby. 😉🙂🙂🙂

That's definitely lower power. From memory mine is in the 700s. I'll get the chronograph out. They are still a well regarded air rifle in Europe. Definitely one of CZ's best springers. Many trained with the Slavia series at summer camps etc. When cz stopped production, the whole outfit moved...

I still own a Slavia 630, it's still in its original 1990s box. I'll get some pictures at the weekend. It's due a bit of plinking time 🙂.

Briefly, I only had one. 😉. Other option was to try drugs and rock N roll. Sanity prevailed.

Miles, for a few years I have used the above wind effect diagram. That diagram along with other data, definitely helped. Especially in the lower power category. FT etc For the last year or so, no more competition shooting so have been trying slugs etc. simply something to occupy my mind...

Spreadsheet, that's the wife's table cloth. Out on the table, count the tins. Currently have a old oak monster of a table. 😉

I chose the Arbor press method simply as a first step. Minimal outlay. When I put my mind to it I can knock out enough slugs in one hour to last me all weekend. Other than buying some different weight dies I'm probably sticking with the press. It's therapeutic.
