What are you using to measure to get down to the 10,000th?
If thats correct measurment of the Nosler ridges I bet the just ride the Lands of the barrel. They made those Noslers with a Concave bottom which will act like a skirt and flare out into the grooves.
Are you gonna size your bullets at .356 ?
Very interested to see what accuracy you’ll get out of them.
Pretty loud right ?
that was my 1st impression too, but I have to say that she seem quieter after a week of shooting.
I took a mic to Pyramyd’s high dollar nosler bullet for the Bulldog and it measured 0.3565 at the ridges. I have 2 bullet molds and a sizing die set coming for .356. I’ll cast some and let you know how they work. Also this thing is loud as hell. It sounded like a 9mm pistol going off so I’m working on quieting that down. The baffle less shroud is meh.. at best.
I was frigging Right !!!!!! ……again 😈 😈 :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn:

Good information’s about this 357 shows its face: BENJAMIN BULLDOG first time i heard this article, very interesting to be part of your topic thanks for sharing more about your information.
I bought it…
or if you are me it broke when I first took it off. lol
Deep breath!!… It has/had (??) such potential to be a great hunting rifle..
Where are you with your testing ?
Did you buy this gun or did they send it to you ?
340cc
Does anyone know how many cc of air it will hold?
I have actually 29.5″ barrel on order which should put me in the 230 fpe mark with 109 grainers but that’s making those bullets to fly a bit too fast I believe. With heavy slugs that should be 240+ fpe. If Crosman makes only 200 fpe with 28″ barrel and heavy slugs they haven’t used all the potential they have.
If you put a 28″ barrel on that Blizzard I’m sure the numbers will be just as good as the Bulldog ones
I got those velocities with JSBs when my Evanix was a 180 fpe gun. 180 fpe was achieved with 134 grain bullets. It looks like the Bulldog is not as powerful as advertised. Maybe I should get some of those heavy noslers and see if I can hit 220 fpe mark with my Evanix 😆
The dust cover or as Crossman calls it “Fill Nipple Cover” is very week and over time will break.
or if you are me it broke when I first took it off. lol

Gotta love government issue micrometers. I have yet to recover one of those noslers that wasn’t beat to hell. I haven’t anything that will stop it without abusing it so I can’t verify if those small concave flare out under pressure. As for sizing (once the casting equipment I ordered arrive) I’ll size them to .356. If that sucks I’ll end up buying a .357 die and see how that works.
