Any interest in having .22 and .25 airgun bullets made?
A buddy of mine who owns a Condor and as well has a full CNC shop is thinking of getting into making airgun bullets as he dislikes both the cost and limited range of skirted pullets due to the BC.
That said he is asking for a wish list of what would be preferred for the bullet design and is thinking of swaging as opposed to casting.
Here are my needs for my .22 and .25 Condor:
.22 and .25 choices
37 grain min
Bullet not pellet design (much like a lead rimfire bullet)
Now just need to determine the diameter in .22, 5.51, 5.52 what will work best in most .22 airgun barrels with 1 in 16 twist.
In .25 I am just thinking 6.35.
Now as far as the cost goes what would you be willing to pay per 100 rounds?
Thanks
Randy

I’d buy lead and I’d also buy an airgun that will shoot a 50 grain at 1,400 fps.
That’s what’s funny. 🙂

^lol.
I don’t know much about twist rate and what not, but I know what i would be willing to pay. For a 40-50 gr. .22 bullet that is capably of accurate shots out to say 300 yards, shot at about 1400 fps, I would pay $15 per 100. The main thing that I would want is for the bullet to stay accurate at supersonic velocities. Hope that helped. 8)

What size grouping are you looking for at 300 yards?
