it shouldnt take 6mos. Were doing a trial run right now. it could be a few weeks and if all test well then those will go in to inventory and full production will get scheduled.
definitely wont take 6 months to have the .22s ready. like i said in the past most of the time and wait for the .177 was spent developing and redefining the process for these pellets. Now that everything has been defined from a process and control standpoint. We have the new dies and trial runs...
yes. to start it will be 14.3gr. Once we get the main 3 going we will look at other opportunities in other areas to expand. We have always thought about heavier grain weights but have not made the commitment towards that.
In the works now. It shouldn't take as long as the .177's. Most of the work was the developments of the new process and materials. So as long as nothing major comes up then its just baselining the performance of the pellets in comparison of the standard production pellets.
We gave a tin to every shooter at the Pyramyd Air Cup last month and i heard one guy shot them and was really impressed with how well they shot. Changed pellets mid competition and did well with our pellets.
short answer is No. Different
Long answer: They are not made from the same die. The only thing they share is the pellet shape. A lot has gone into developing these pellets. I spent years lifting the Benjamin brand and bring it back to it roots as a Premium Brand. I wanted to do that with...
John is correct, only the transfer port is different. That should have no impact on on the accuracy. However, just as John mentioned barrels will like what they like and be slightly different from one gun to the next. I will note that the new M357 has a LW barrel. The older .357 version had...
Love the article! This one was not one of my projects but I was well of aware of the improvements to this special edition. The Engineers are passionate and although this took a lot longer than expected. They wanted it to be as perfect as possible.
