Might have to change the shim and leave the preload the same on the spring. I do more hunting than long range shootinG sotethering isn’t really a viable option at the moment. Ill give it a shot and keep yall posted.

I tried lowering the fps a little by cranking down the power wheel a little but got a case of vavle lock a little. I need to fine tune it some and see if I can get the velocity evened out.

I shot with the shroud on the other day. It seemed my groups would move around and I was chasing the holes with the…Read more

No problems at all with R and L holding up to dougs power.

Do yourself a favor and buy a lyman 257420 mold. That’s when my groups tightened. A barrel polish really seemed to help too.

Not sure if you can get surfires anymore. I think they were on hold for a bit but may be up and going…Read more

I’m still getting a little less consistent fps than I like. Even with topping off between shots. I credit some to having a small tank so shot count is low. Haven’t tried more than 5 shots at 100 yet.

Yes I polished the barrel with MAAS (like flitz). Can take a pic of it when I get home.

Guys, I used .3 (.03 was a typo) pounds of solder to 15.4 lb lead. Solder was a 60/40 mix so I only had .75% tin. Less than 1%. 30:1 is 3%. I figured that was on the low end?

I like the lyman base since it wont be prone flashing at the rear of the bullet when sized since there is gas check space. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be pushing the bullets into an innacurate region but…Read more

Sounds like your setup is similar to mine, minus me not having a wokguard and having a little longer barrel.

If this doesn’t get good results the next step will be a tj barrel. Figure it doesn’t codt me much to try this option first.

Looking at millers formula the stabilization was .98 with the 87 gr. The 70s should be 1.6 or greater. Millitary recommends 1.5 to 1.7. Hoping to get a little shooting in friday to see where I…Read more

I need to shoot the 63 gr and see how it shoots now that the choke is gone and I have some .2555 bullets for the .255 bore and a lead in cut. If they do good, a lyman mold will be on order once I figure who has the best price and wont have an unknown lead time.

Then I mic’ed the slug. I pushed a .251 through the barrel and got a .2545 on the front driving band and .2555 or .256 depending how the bullet was turned.

I’m preTty sure I got the choke out and its just my measuring skills since I slugged the barrel and the slug came out at .2555 or .256. What diameter bullet would you recommend for a .255 bore? I can take out a little with reamer and then polish out the rest.

Current holes are .288. Will open up to .300 or 5/16 and see. For now, I am just trying to see what bullet flies well out of this setup. Ill do it with the shroud offf for now though to make sure its not causing fliers. Once I get a good shooting bullet, ill then put the shroud back on.

They are pretty hard.

Did the ranchdog have thin bands or thick driving bands?

Is it preferable for a bullet to ride the lands and the grooves at the same time?

Each half will be spread apart and will be put in place by (3) 8-32 screws. I will have to remake them since I want blind holes and need more meat. Will need to have two springs and add spring retainers since the halves will be apart, but essentially the same crosman concept.
