You guys kill any thing with your 45’s yet

ya i have killed the hell out of plywood ! 😆 😆 😆 destroyed many sheets of the varmits ! BOOM ! 😆 😆 😆 😆

Marvin,

No they are the tiny little ones that fit on the valve stem that goes inside the male fitting.

Dan Mcvey puts one on the safety pin for a spare, it has a outside measurement of .25 and inside of .012, but that is mesasuring with my club fisted hands and one poor eye.

So it appears to be the Dash# 006

The hardware store around here does not have them. Hopefully finding out how I am destroying them will slow down the attrition rate of the few remaining ones I have

But thanks anyway,

Yes, I killed a ground squirrel with mine, nothing educational to report here, out of the Explorer window at about 20 yards.

I had left the camera back at the house, so I have no evidence, but from the results, it opened it up from chin to tail, and increased it’s length to about double what it should have been.

It was not a large ground squirrel, and the hitting it with the 416 grain, would be like one of us getting hit with a anti tank round. Basically it looked like it was hit with a 22-250 55 grain ballistic tip.

I shot something the gun was not designed to shoot, so it tells us exactly nothing.

I did end up with a good working zero on the rifle. I have that Burris Fullfiled shotgun/muzzle loader scope with the Ballistic plex reticle. With a 70 yard zero, on 4 power @ 100 yards I use the 2nd hash mark down, on 2 power at 150 yards, I use the junction of the heavy duplex. For close in stuff, I use the upper heavy duplex junction.

It has a very loopy trajectory, but shooting at small rocks and holding dead on at them in the snow from the front yard, from 70 yards to 150 yards, I was able to see my hits, then just dial the scope until a corresponding hash mark matched the hole in the snow.

Also from the front yard is a set of 4, 8 inch hanging gongs at 100 yards, the rilfe hit those in an array of field positions, it truely is an easy rilfe to shoot due to superb accuracy and lack of recoil.

I also got to use the Booster in the field for the first time, and along the way learned some things about filling a 4500 PSI rifle from 4500 44 cft scba tanks. Mainly it doesn’t give you many shots.

How many shots? Using 2 44 cft tanks and a 69 ci Pygmee, all filled to 4500 PSI, and the Booster to assist, I came home with 3200 PSI and 900 PSI in the two 44 cuft tanks and 3800 PSI in the Pygmee and shot 35 4500 PSI shots and filled the Condor twice from 2200 to 2800 PSI. It eats air, and if not for the Booster it would have eaten more air.

When I fill directly from the Booster, it is hard for me at this point to control the speed of the fill, consequently, I am eating male fill nipple Orings at an alarming rate, (no Adam, not nipple rings like your boyfriends), it does the same thing while shooting tethered, I use 350 PSI per shot, that is refilled instantly when tethered, it creates heat and eats Orings.

So I fill the Pygme tank with the Booster, and use it to top off the fill from the dwindling supply of air in the 44cft tank. You do not get a full 4500 fill from a 69 cui Pygmee tank after shooting two shots, as a result, I have made a small cabinet to carry two 44 cft bottles in my car that will be cascaded, I think this will give me far more fills at high level PSI, then I will top off with the Pygme tank. The pygmee tank can still be used to get a 4000 PSI fill after two shots in the brush.

Long way to answer your question about the kill Powder Burner, sorry.

All the paper in the NW are running scared.
