First three shots went into one clover leaf. yea I stopped at 3 to save the target 😆 Today I let the wife shoot it and her only three shots did the same if not better! I have got to spend some time casting because this thing is great to shoot!

The sizer fits in another press but not mine. Thanks Cedric, I will keep him in mind if I cant get the 257420’s to fly right.

It shoots JSB’s into the same hole at 65 if you keep it in the 50fpe range.

Its like dayotat posted above. I have a chrony and the 7 rings are running in the 830s so that is around 107 FPE. The heavy Eunjins are running in the 970’s for around 90 FPE. Kodiaks in the 1050 range for around 78 FPE.

This is with the old barrel:

I have had the valve for a while about 40 yards was my max range shooting 87 hunters supply at 110 to 120 fpe. With the 257 I am hoping I can extend the range. I have to have some work done before I can test for accuracy.

Many thanks for the details. Did Tony do the hammer and valve work? I’m due to send him a Condor for mods, but may change the plan of what pellet to tune for, depending on what you discover. Was going towards JSB, but if the 70+ gr group well at 30-50 yds, that’d be a better option.
