Ghost Ghost HP plenum size ????

[Solo1]

@Danman ya know im starting to believe you have never tuned your gun. I have a 22 barrel on and just went out in the shop @135 bar red spring power wheel min i shot a18 gr aea pellet to 974 so the bs your spreading is just that.

I can get the barrel from LW and have Martin turn it. $185 for the barrel, without shipping. And then have Martin machine and add muzzle adapter is another $270. And no promise that it will shoot anyway......or a little more for a known shooter

If/when I do get a Brk slug barrel and find the plenum to be the weak link i'd try popping the reg gauge out and threading in a small 20-ish cc chamber in its place. But for my intended usage; 25-34gr slugs for starlings up to 125Y away, the Ghost will hit the req slug speeds no problem in factory form with the 28inch barrel for those weights. But....the burning question: Will it be accurate enought to hit said starlings with slugs past 50Y?

Why not buy a .25 barrel conversion and shoot pellets out to 100yds/m? Plenty of power for starlings and accurate in mild winds. The more I’ve gotten to know my Ghost, the more I love it. Maybe the .22 is capable enough too, I don’t currently have any .22s right now.

Ive had several lw barrels machined by several guys 1 by martin and none were really good.

I shot 21.9 aea the other day @ 100 with light breeze all groups under 1.5”. Thats with the 23” barrel. Im waiting for a still day to try again. And with the 25 i only missed 3 out of 80 targets at a eft! Longest target 109 yds

I’m going to start a thread in a few minutes to track group consistency with the Ghost. I believe my Ghost is consistently sub-MOA capable in low to no wind conditions with the right shooter. I underestimated just how capable the platform is. I’m also finally getting a grip on just how much even a slight wind impacts group size at 75+ yds.

There is a guy on agn talking about his stock barrel shooting the ACE slugs really well. Going to make some up in the 40 grain to see if I can't get them to shoot as well. If I can that will stop me from buying a barrel for the Hm1000x. Then give me time getting used to the ghost.

I do have that Thermal coming that I want to use on a slug gun. Which is why I am considering selling the ghost to fund either an FX Crown or an Epic Two. Have been talking to a few people and the Two may be the choice.

Upp to you its your choice but i really believe in the ghost having 3 and 8 barrels and only having to do some polishing of barrels and replacing 1 barrel o ring that got nicked by a sharp edge since they came out I don’t know of a better shooting more reliable platform!

@Woogie_man if you do order a 22 brk barrel also order a brk arca rail to get a bipod out there it really helps from the bench. If you need an adapter for your bipod amazon has them cheap

 

[Woogie_man]

Yeah already have the arca rail.

Believe what you want, what i dont have is your money, lol. Just one ghost and one barrel. Bought the Huma gauges this year and went to town tuning it after 2 polishes, didn't achieve any good results till I hit 150B again. Will be getting a spring kit along with a slug barrel is my plan this spring. My results dont mirror yours or most others
B.S. you say? Your were spreading that yourself today by saying there is no .25cal slug barrel when Tony Belas himself (owner of Daystate lol) in the video i referenced said its out....and that was last year.

All i can say is many things you say do not make sense. 100 bar shoots 18 to fast? But i just shot an 18 yes a bit fast but at 135 bar. Also i would like to see the text or video where tony says that as i said aoa the daystate and brk importer told me they ha a listing for the ghost for 1-700 mm 25 cal barrel and its a pellet barrel. I can have no higher account of the truth unless you can prove what tony said.

I posted the video, Also you can check out the listing on our Cdn dealer up here (AGS) as they have the .22 and .25 slug edition Ghost available, with a 580cc bottle to boot. Now if they will stock the barrels separately I'd be happy!
When I set the pressure low (it was 100 or 120B) I got the Mrds into the mid 800s but accuracy wasn't there, for the 18gr I was still above 900fps on min and no accuracy to speak of. It will shoot the 20gr lights fairly well on my current 150B tune on minimum hammer setting @ a blazing 965fps. My Ghost is definitely running.

 

[Solo1]

Post the vid here or a link to it im not searching all your posts and quite frankly I don’t believe anything you say about tuning any more

 

[Solo1]

I found your vid and watched the whole thing and no where does tony say they have a 25 cal slug barrel! He does say they have 25 cal slugs made by jsb labeled sovereign. You need to pay more attention. I think thats your tuning problem also.

I think this thread is , should have stayed up longer last night because it’s too early for popcorn .

Its near the end....he literally says they they have 13 barrels for the Ghost, and they are still working on the .30 cal slugs. Maybe play the last bit at half speed just before Tony shoots a group
Of course Tony shoots the group and says nothing about what he's shooting (ammo/barrel/caliber) but those holes look like a .25 to me......weak evidence ill admit lol.

That was my failed attempt at copying @Lee unsworth post on Ham about the barrels and posting it here. Brk themselves chime in and say the .25 slugger is available.
