What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Farmplinker2]

Shot a few pellets (Crosman Heavies) out of the 3622 at the dueling tree. Make a nice sound hitting around 50 ft.

One mag with the Atomic today and 70ish shots with the Notos.
I washed and tumbled 4 tins of pellets over the last two days. Tomorrow they will get tumbled in lemon pledge.

 

[Chief55]

Lubed 7 each of 12 different weights of 30 cal. slugs. I am resizing them today to .298 for testing.

What do you use for lube sir?! I am trying ballistol currently...

 

[Chief55]

You are probably doing the right thing. I have been using Lee Liquid Alox without any problems because I was following the Lee instructions for resizing then cleaning them with dawn and water then using Ballistol but I think I will start just using the Ballistol for the sizing as well just to be on the safe side.

Today, I'm just getting things ready for tomorrow. RE-sighting in the Aea big 9 with NSA 142gr

 

[Florida_Man]

I finished off two tins of FX 15.9’s. One with the Notos and the other with the Atomic.

 

[Dogowski]

Ran a tin of 250 of the AEA Center Punch 18.39 22 pellets through my Snowpeak M60B rifle. They shoot amazing in all my guns.

Same here. Just opened a tin today and they don’t look good. Deformed and irregular, I guess a good feature of the S510’s magazine is “if it doesn’t fit, its sh!t”.

I’m currently sorting some “blemish” 18gr JSB’s I bought from Midway

I know, I know. Midway of all places. My plan is to see how many are screwed up. Of the lot.

I’m doing it while I do web training. It’s mindless sorting and I’ve passed 6 training modules so far. 5 100% and one 96%, but that question wasn’t right.

Anyways, I’m also going to see if I can reshape the bent skirts with a pellet seater I used on my PP700. It’s just a little curved brass plug. Then compare against a “good” tin. I’m sure it won’t be worth the 4 dollars I saved.

After fixing the skirts I will seat them in my BRK mags when I shoot them

Might be time for JSB to change out the dies for the 18s.

I have to do computer-based training every month, if only they would train me in something useful like how to adjust your printer settings .

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I guess better do some hurricane prep between shots this week. Times like this let's you know how much loose ends you got piled around to batten down ..

 

[Florida_Man]

I cleaned the barrel of my Atomic after finishing a tin of FX 15’s. I also turned the HS to shoot the next pellet up, H&N Terminator, to go 700 fps. I will lead in the barrel and see what preliminary accuracy they have tonight.

I also lubricated 3 tins with Pledge. They were washed and tumble over the weekend.

I moved to Floirda in 2004, and my current location in August 2004. In September we got hit with Frances and Jeanne.
Only a couple weeks apart. Frances was a cat 4 and did a lot of damage, Jeanne was a cat 3 and finished off what Frances started. Oh, and spread all the trash people had at the road all over. While Jeanne wasn't that powerful it looked like a cat 5 afterwards in some areas.

My least favorite things about when one is coming is how often they talk about storm surge. Yeah, we know.

 

[FL22]

I’m as ready for the Hurricane as I can be.

Best wishes to all the HAMsters in Florida. I hope things go as well as they can with the forthcoming storm.
