I want to see one of the 22 versions of the HPS! Be really interested in seeing the ammo for it and see what is possible with the new set up.

The HPS is the setup you really need to run those slugs out of. I'm buying an HPS too, just have not decided on caliber yet. In all likelihood I will probably buy one for hunting and one for competition shoots and quit buying and testing all these different slugs the .30 cal.

 

[Woogie_man]

Agreed. I have a load of 22 slugs, but almost want to get a 30 as well. Heck would about trade my 22 paradigm for a 30 and get a 22 hps

I've been lingering here for a few months and couldn't pass this EVOL 30 beauty up from @c.wallace_06.

Scope is mounted and needs dialed in. It's not far off though. Impressive how light this rifle feels and how well it shoulders. It's definitely the longest in my collection.

Also, special thanks to @AtlasAirguns for giving me a little history on the rifle prior to purchase.

I was watching that and fighting the urge to buy it. Glad you did!

 

[AtlasAirguns]

@c.wallace_06 gave up a good one there but glad he found a local person rather than internet crazyness (so many scam sales lately, it's rather concerning). Hopefully next EBR both of you will swing by for lunch and we can all hangout.

then you would miss the paradigm and regret it.
best to just figure on a .30 in adition to the .22 HPS
then a .30 HPS

 

[Woogie_man]

I still want the Paradigm.... but in 30. And then get the 22 hps rifle. Oh I'm not giving up the Paradigm for sure, going to pass the rifle down to my son.

Either or really. Lol

Had some fun with the Slayer this morning. Experimented with fill pressures and also out of the box Nielsen 125 gr .358

They were good first shot accurate but the following shots were not as good as the 158 gr hp accurate homebrews were on the following shots.

Looks like I better get casting.

Just a couple shots on the ground squirrel head and this is pretty much what all the first shots looked like at 3200 fill. I did experiment with higher fill pressure. The nsa ammo just didn't perform like those 158s.

Everything here is 65 yards.




@Airgun-hobbyist how often are you pulling patches through when you're out shooting?

 

[Woogie_man]

I would pull a patch after two mags and see what happens. Not going to hurt anything for sure.

I don't ever run a patch, but have experimented doing it. The bores stays nice and clean because I shoot all my airgun ammo lubed and "wet" so I don't ever pull a patch through anything. I pour the slugs right into a pellet tin that has foam in it with a squirt of pure silicone oil and load them wet. If I pull a couple wetted patches through it produces two black patches, very few flakes.

Casting is cheap entertainment. It's good that you have an accurate cast round. Mine likes swaged, so that's what I buy.

I will try that! Thank you for the tip!

Well Val at Valdada got me my high scope rings to mount the monstrous full size G2 Recon on the HPS 30 today.

That means I get to start my testing tomorrow

Unfortunately not my rifle to send off , also this is a pellet barrel. Same barrel as on my Paradigm. I will be testing pellets only in this bad boy.

 

[Woogie_man]

There is a mini for sale over on agn right now.

Dang didn't get the new barrel. Will still be interesting to see how the HPS compares to the Paradigm in 30 though.
