Introductions Hello from The Netherlands.

[Dani78]

Hello everyone,

My name is Daniel and I’m from the Netherlands, I have been involved in airgunning for quite some time and have a big interest in PCP air rifles, particularly in precision shooting and benchrest.

I mainly shoot benchrest with PCP rifles and enjoy experimenting with different setups, such as pressure settings, projectile weights, and overall stability. I’m especially interested in the technical side of airguns and how small adjustments can improve consistency and accuracy.

I’ve been following Hard Air Magazine for a while and really appreciate the in-depth articles, and the high level of technical knowledge shared by the community.

I look forward to learning from others here and sharing experiences with fellow airgun enthusiasts from around the world.


Best regards,
Daniel.

Welcome Daniel, I'm in St Louis, never come here.
I've learned the most about PCPs here, just recently added a couple myself.

Welcome to HAM, what PCP are you shooting?

Hi, I shoot an FX Panthera 700 in .22, a Brk Ghost in .30, and an AGT Vixen short in .22. And what do you shoot?

Nice pcps, and welcome to Ham fellow Daniel! My mom's parents came from Holland after WW2 and settled in Canada....Got a Brk Ghost myself, good shooter but I hope to make it great someday! Do you mod your pcps at all?

Welcome to the HAM airgun forum Daniel! You've got some great guns there my friend. Enjoy your time here on the forum and look forward to your contributions in the chat.

Yes, I like to mod and tinker around a bit. I'm trying to get a slug barrel for the BRK Ghost. I'm not happy with how it groups at 100 meters with the barrel it came with. I was wondering if anyone else on the forum has had problems with the Ghost's shot pattern. It seems very sensitive to bullet velocity and different pellets.

Try polishing the barrel with jb bore bright start with pushing a pellet through the barrel noting any tight or rough spots then polish with jb bore bright working tight and rough spots first with the jb worked with finger into a bore mop then 20-30 strokes on whole barrel clean and shoot see how that works and revisit if nessary

I'll be 100% honest, my .22 HP barrel is FUSSSYYYY. It likes and ONLY likes Mrds and Mrd deeps, it is very accurate with them though, i have gotten anywhere from 3 to 1.5inches @100Y. Thats 10+ shots not 3 or 5. I have run lighter pellets and slugs with zero success. Shallow Mrds, Jts 25gr, and Hades 25gr all were poor too.
Yours is a .30cal and a ton of people are not happy with the accuracy from the 23inch barrel (its no mystery)
To get and keep mine consistent i polished the barrel twice, its first few shots are trash but it settles in nicely after that.
What caliber slug barrel you wanting? Im gonna stick with .22 caliber, that way I just need a barrel, no mag or probe. Hoping to get one In the new year but not enough people have given me what I need to hear lol.

Thanks Solo1, I'll try this!

I'm looking for a .30 barrel, i've contacted Brk to see if thy can send one over but it's hard doing business with England after Brexit and England having different rules on HP parts and stuff

Yeah its no fun dealing with all the legal hassle sometimes. I contemplated just getting a fast twist barrel right from L.W. and having my dad machine it to fit the Ghost. Then if it shot slugs well id get a carbon fiber tube and mock up the shroud/stripper etc. The OE slug barrel twist is 1:17.7 and has been around for ages. I'd get the 1:15.7 twist if i could pick in 600 or 700mm if getting it straight from Lothar Walther. My fear though is Cdn border taking the barrel and it never makes it here
I haven't seen any reviews with the .30cal Brk slug barrel yet, I'd be interested in all the specs/accuracy for sure! I believe the .25 is the same twist as the .22 and .177.
