What did you do airgun related today?

[Hateful McNasty]

Agree it fits the need for now. Not like I am constantly measuring the speed.

Made a little stand for it using a spare ball head

I don't bolt it on but ,I use the yoke part to rest the barrel end in/on then shoot through it.

Kinda like this example

So here are my measurements so far:

L2 .25 914 FPS
Gunnar .25 890 FPS
Red Wolf .22 at low power 1018 FPS

This little cheap chrono is working great so far. Need to experiment with more pellets.

Which pellets are going 1018fps in the chrono?! 14.3 crosmans?

JSB 18.13gr. I can tell the CPHP 14.3 is hotter but I have not measured it yet.

That's a surprise....guess CPHP's would probably be super sonic. Was the power set high, low or somewhere in between?

I can hear much loader crack from CPHP thus have not shot it much in the back yard. Will measure it though. Power is set at low.

She's about as powerful as my Ghosts current setup then! How's accuracy at 1000ish fps with the 18s? I hear some people had success with em, not me still too fast! (600mm barrel)

Lol.. I'd figure 24+ grain to tame that speeds .
850+/- been my best cphp range..

It seems to be fairly accurate out to 50-60 yards. Have not gone much beyond that so don't really know.

Yes ordering heavier pellets to try out.

Or have a slug fest

Or have a slug fest

That is next topic for research. I know nothing about slugs.

I’ve been working on this since Sunday. Before and after photos after applying several coats of True Oil. Hopefully I did a good enough job for this to be worthy of posting a photo.

Looking good! Did you do anything to the stock before applying the oil? I did my 2 month old TX stock and it turned out great, took a fair amount of coats as the walnut AA stocks are pretty dry.

Thanks. The only thing I did was apply about 5 coats of True Oil and used 0000 steel wool between the coats.

Chrono CPHP out of the Red Wolf at low power this morning. It went supersonic at average 1115 FPS.

Went to top off the S510 for a possible starling pesting session tomorrow night, and lo and behold the 14 month old quick connect fitting o-ring was leaking, I tried to pump faster but no good. Dug it out and my usually useless assorted o-ring kit in my shop had the perfect size! Quick swap and back in business.

Yeah buddy! My parents have a bunch of mulberry trees just full of mulberries (obviously? )right now and the birds are hitting them hard. Which is totally fine....unless your a starling After supper my brother will drop a few with his Diana 350 (shooting 10gr jsb slugs of all things!) I might stop in with the S510. Alot less starling around my place recently....now I know why!
