Ghost Just got my ghost 👻 30

[Hapo]

...so how did things work out...???...ever get it sorted...???...

...I just got a .30 cal. barrel kit, and this thread is making me nervous...

I have had 2 30 cal ghosts, now my son has one. Never an issue with either…A good barrel cleaning and the 44’s between 870-900 should be good. Each of mine liked a different speed, but in the range above.

Mine has been very accurate too but it prefers 50’s over 44’s and 56’s.

what speed are you running the 50's and 56's at ?

...this is why I decided to keep a .22 Ghost HP...they had it shooting well with the chosen pellets going "too fast"...

...starting to understand the slow 30" twist rate is probably a factor in this...

Let us know what you set your reg at as well Happo! I believe you can expect 20 good shots out of the stock bottle but these other guys would definitely know more about that than me! The .30 cal barrel interests me as well

...as hard as it may be for some to understand not everyone has a chronograph...

...I just got my first one and it cost more than most of my air rifles...LoL...

...even so, if you don't have a Garmin XREO C1 Pro, I suggest you buy one...

...you just turn it on and use it...nothing to set up...use it in the dark even...this will change everything...

...I probably won't mess with the .30 barrel kit until I head up ta camp...

...so, for now the velocities I can expect with 56 grn Zan pellets will remain a mystery...

...I was hoping to see like 900 FPS...I want as much power as I can get w/o spoiling accuracy...

...I need suggestions/advise on what to set the regulator pressure at...right now it is set very low...(110)...

...it is shooting .22 cal. 18.13 JSB's at a measured average of 986 FPS into a .25 cal. hole @ 20 yards...

...I am getting the 1-30" twist Idea...I was initially a bit put off...

...I have accepted that the optimal rates of twist for pellets and slugs are different, and one barrel cannot be optimal for both...

...I was thinking maybe a regulator setting of 170 for the .30 with heavy pellets...???...

870 - 890 on the 50s. 56s were 875 where they shot the best. I tried 44s from 830 to 890 with no success.

 

[Pesty3782]

Mine loves the 44's right at 890...Interesting

Tony,

Was that @50Y or 100Y?

All my testing and results were at 100Y

 

[Pesty3782]

Started at 50, 75 then 100....I am leaving it alone for right now, but maybe before Extreme Bench Rest I will play with it some more.

I got the rifle to shoot 100 yard bench. And its just not going to cut it as is. And trust me ive spent hours trying different things. Pellets, different speeds etc etc. Another big issue was clipping with any silencer. It ruined a bran new 3oo dollar 0db Magnum it clipped so bad. Thats when i decided to remove shroud and try a silencer on the barrel.

Wow, that sucks it ruined your new high dollar moderator. Ouch for sure man!
