APPARENTLY,ALL909GUNSmisfire (edited to include video)

I get my slugs from various places, for various prices. I have pretty much settled on either the EPP/UG’s, or the .45Slims as far as a lightweight boolit, both from Mark Whyte (whyteleatherworks.com).

Even the slightly undersized .454’s are very accurate in my rifle (both designs). My best measured group to date (off the steady stix) was a 3 shot group shooting the 45Slims sized to .454 cast in BHN6 lead. At 50 yards, three shots measured .45 inch center-to-center. EPP/s are pretty bad-ass as well. I’ve shot some hella-tight groups with the EPP’s as well, but never measured the super-tight ones before sending more boolits into the target.

I need to test both the EPP/UG’s and the 45Slims in their unsized form before making a decision on which is the most accurate. When I get a lightweight boolit mold, it will probably the 154grain EPP/UG design, as they will be used for small game, and haul ass at 860+fps. Mark won’t sell them in the near pure lead anymore, but the EPP’s still go pretty fast when cast in BHN9 lead (about 840fps). I get 5-6 real good shots with EPP/UG’s. HEre they are, next to a roundball, and a 43grain .25 EJ

I wish I had a picture of the first JackRabbit I shot with an EPP (headshot). At first, we couldn’t understand why it was dead. It flipped around like crazy for a long time, and when it came to a rest we couldn’t see a thing wrong with it. I was like “these EPP’s are weak!”.

Then Jim flipped it over with his boot, and immediately turned away, and walked off in disgust. This is a seasoned hunter we are talking about, and he was truly disturbed.

It looked like someone had frozen the rabbits head, and split it perfectly down the middle with a band saw. RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, CLEAN AS A WHISTLE.
You could see the structure of the sinus cavity, the jaw, the tongue, the (nearly empty) brain cavity; everything looked like it was split with a scalpel.

As far as the heavyweights are concerned, I believe they were just born last week. They were created specifically for the 909 barrels, and are going to smack game harder than any .45 air boolit out there.

236, 246, 260, and 270 grains, with a Meplat measuring .38! Cast by BlackHogDown. These are the very first ones he cast. They will likely prove to be the greatest .45 airgun slug ever developed.

!!!BEHOLD!!!

Here are a couple of groups I shot after an afternoon of hunting. They are the only groups I shot that day, as it was getting dark. SO it is safe to say that they shoot well in my rifle.

35 and 50 yards, sitting in the field, off the steady stix. .6 inch, and .9 inch c-to-c. Shot with the BHN9 lead EPP/UG’s. The steady stix wobble less than the mono-pod. I love my 909 gun’s trigger!

I used to have serious problems with blowing out the o-rings. The factory breech sleeve just doesn’t hold up to the power. It would happen at the worst possible time, like when it completely blew out at the first HogHunt I went to (Cygnus may remember that fiasco).

I wasn’t about to let that happen again, and asked Leroy to fabricate me a custom breech sleeve before returning to my next hog hunt. He had forgotten that I wanted it made, and said “I’ve shot this all day yesterday and it hasn’t blown the o-ring once”. We then went to the chrony to run some numbers, and low and behold: it blew the o-ring LOL!

He then made the custom breech sleeve right in front of me on his CNC equipment, out of a piece of scrap stainless steel from an auto part (oil pump?). He took extreme care in sizing it PERFECTLY.

It has not blown a single o-ring since the installation of the custom breech sleeve, which happened a year ago.
