yea i tried a vamit grenade in my 22lr barrel with no success…but i did empty the tank with just one pull of the trigger… 😯 😯 ….3k-0psi in “OH DAMN” seconds…its great in my 22-250 though…hit a ground hog and its nothing but red mist 😈 …Greg
😥 😥 😥
Well that sucks…..
Time to start making them????
tjbryner the bore on air force rifles is .219 i’m pretty sure , so those wont work.
I tried to use a 22 long rifle bullet , pulled from the case in my condor when i first bought it , just to try.and couldn’t get it to go into the bore,and that was a lead bullet, so a jacketed bullet will most definitely not work.
Wounder if it’d work out the Condor…….take a good look at 1.01 into the video
Pab!!!! Take note. A very thin hollow copper shell with a lead base. Simple, yet functional.
I want to see entire chickens vaporize in front of that ignorant bitch next door!!!! Chances are she would shit down both legs! Then she’d fit in my shirt pocket.
Nice catch tjbryner!!

Hoot, I’ve broke out the cordless drill and old nail file. Expect some high performance amour piecering sobot rounds shortly. Do you want yours HEAT style or you just happy with kinetic energy?
I think my Edgun Shorty (will it EVER leave Russia???) would work well if we just had access to the following:
Ultra-thin copper jacketed, Sierra Boattail, polymer tipped, hollow-core, 18.5 gr, .22 caliber pellet, with a ceramic “Penetrator” shaft embedded in the hollow core. Just a thought. Cost might become a factor.
Or, perhaps on a simplier note, a copper, or depleted Uranium, .117 sabot, covered by a .22 caliber plastic shell that drops off immediately after leaving the barrel…like the Penetrator rounds used on the M1A1/M1A2 Abrhams tank. This round is effective out to 3 Km on the Abrams, perhaps we could achieve effective ranges out to 200 meters. I could be happy with that.
With the minaturization of todays electronics, might I also suggest a proxmity fused pellet for shooting birds at altitude?
Come on guys, we are shooting stone age ammo in space age PCP rifles. Is there no one out there with imagination?
Seriously…would this be so hard???:
Ok…we could start simple by scaling down the weight and use the design of the .117 caliber HMR slug, disregard the vulgar, antique, non-boattailed hollowpoint:
Do you have no pride? Don’t you want to find yourself standing knee-deep in a steaming gut pile, on a cold October morning, staring in disbelief at results like this????
Will someone grow a pair?
Hoot 😯
You guys impress the hell out of me. I’m going to have to start asking you guys questions about reloaders & custom dies for my .45 since I’m currently in the market for one.
The Corbin swaging method gets really expensive and I have NEVER read of anyone having successful results with it…we have plenty of good pellets commercially available now so swaging makes little sense…
I emailed Dave Corbin few weeks ago about the swage for pellets, here is what Daivd replied.
BEST QUALITY:
CSP-1 S-press
LSWC-1-S swage die
CSL-2 swage lube
LW-10 lead wire
PCS-1 core cutter
LOWEST COST:
Your existing reloading press
PRO-1-R Pro-Swage Die set
CSL-2 swage lube
LW-10 lead wire
PCS-1 core cutter
All prices and pictures can be seen on www.SwageDies.com

The recommendation above is for the .25 pellet guns, if you want to make difference size of ammo/pellet, you will need additional die and lead wire.
Based on the pellet shape that I have seen from his site, I personally don’t think it will do good on my airguns and there isn’t much choice to choose. The tools kinda expensive compare to the molds, i am still looking for someone who could make good molds, but unable to find 1 just yet. I have contacted several molds makers, they don’t do any molds for pellet guns.
I have seen others made molds for the .25 cal from http://www.airgunadvice.net forum, but the results wasn’t good.
I personally think the pellets below will do good on the Condor .25 cal if someone could make a mold for it.
Did you see the link? You can make your own pellets with it.
I think we should have Mamcrackin get one and design his own pellet!
I have made thousands of Dave Cobin bullets from empty 22lr cases. Speer got started during or right after WW11 by using empty 22 lr cases for jackets as did several other bullet makers.
They will work up to .223 velocities and then start to explode in mid air.
He still sells the entire kit to be used on a Rock Chucker single stage press. I sold mine last year after using it for 29 years.
In 1981 I bought the set and figured if they would shoot 3 inches at 100 yards, I could use them to practice for practical rifle competition. I finially got tied of stapeling 1/2 inch groups above my reloading bench.
I won the Oregon State Practical Rifle championship that year and then retired from the police force and went into commercial coyote hunting, using the same AR 15 and Corbin bullets. They were very fragile and usually would stay inside a coyote on broadside shots.
Dave would always fix anything that broke for free, his warrantees are as good as you will find anywhere.
