I had some slugs I made before I got my sizer that were too big. They lodge in the barrel most of the time. After I sized to 457 they don’t lodge anymore. I got a custom sizing die and now size them to 456 and my groups tightened up. Its not meant to fill the rifling grooves.

The groups on my texan tightened way up. Sized to 456. 255 grain HP mold that was a RCBS 325 grain mold cut down and modified for HP.

Be sure to check your set screws occasionally. After 500-600 rounds, mine had worked loose.

Light slugs power wheel needs to be tightened towards the tank. Heavy slugs towards the end of the barrel.

For bigger bullets you need it backed all the way out towards the barrel.

I fill using my gauge on my scba tank. If I was to fill to 3000 on my texan gauge then I would only be at 2800psi. That may be enough to keep you from getting your numbers.

I don’t have a crony ticket, but I know mine came out slightly over 500 fps using 360 grain slugs, for the first shot or 2. I…Read more

It has a manual bleed valve at the bottom. The tank is big though, if you don’t get a valve shut and have to pressure the dryer tank up when you fill up a tank it can take 10 min to fill them both up again.

I had some tank dumps on my 257 when I was tweaking the valve. I was filling it with the pump and looked away a little too long and blew out my burst disk.

I tried some 520 grain and 575 grain and they were too long. I had to roughly cut them down to 420-470 grain with the bandsaw just so they would be short enough to feed.

I think my other problem was I was expecting too many shots before refilling. I talked to airforce today and they told me to refill after 2 shots each time if Im shooting 300+ grain slugs. More shots for smaller slugs, possibly 10 accurate shots with roundball. That makes sense. I thought I…Read more

For larger slugs 350-400 gr dial that power wheel back towards the end of the barrel. Refill after every 2 shots. They told me to expect 2 shot groups with the large slugs. If you are running roundball then dial the wheel all the way towards the breech and you can do 10 shot groups or so.

With the power all the way up roundball (5…Read more
