Q:

.257 barrel from RL

I was looking at a .257 barrel on the RL website

http://www.rlairgunsupply.com/airgun-accessories/257-airforce-drop-in-barrels-700mm-and-24/

So that lead me to thinking about getting one for my next AF condor. What kind of things would I need to be aware of? (ie. ammo, hammer up grade, etc.) I want to do this but I don’t want to do things half assed

The Advertising don’t seem to contain all the right info. 257 barrels are for slugs and not pellets.

Unless the caliber designation is just a typo

If it is a TJ barrel that is going to be a game changer, RL barrel and Doug’s valve/hammer a heavy spring and a 257420 mold and your set to shoot.

As for the Hunters Supply bullets, I have yet to hear from anyone getting good accuracy with them, by good accuracy I mean what Doug, Tofazfou, RJ and I are getting with our home cast bullets.

If you want truly accurate bullets for your TJ barreled gun get them from RJ Porter on this site, he shoots them and casts them one at time, not from automated machines. RJ can also cast them of pure lead, something HS can’t do with automated machines.

It would be interesting to see what a Condor SS would do with a 20 inch barrel under a end cap set up with all of Doug’s goodies.

Those posted results with the Kings are about a 100 FPS faster than my Talon SS was getting with a 17 inch LW barrel and Dougs smaller valve, Accuracy was poor.

Maybe Randy from RL can come in and tell us what it does as far as grouping

Well that seems crazy it would seem as though like you said cause a shotgun effect

No it says 700mm barrel 25.4 JSB kings.

Well maybe they meant the soft lead rounds from a place like hunters-supply as I know I’ve seen black powder rounds being listed as pellets instead of bullets only because of the lack of gun powder

Interesting that they would post that they are shooting pellets in it instead of bullets.

At that speed they are probably shooting a shot gun patern
