Good work on the valve. I am assuming your numbers with the crow mags are 22 cal?
No 31 grain .25 cals:-) well it is still underperforming against a regular highflow valve, but I need to bore out the hole of the valvestem to 5.6mm actualy it is only 4.8, thats what restricts more flow at the moment. The good thing…Read more

But I get the same velocity out of it, if i fill to 4000 or 3200 maybe the hammer or the flow in the valve is on its limit. Further…Read more

I am going to look at drilling and tapping a valve when i get home to add a pressure gage and fill nipple yours looks like it would be perfect for that.

Be careful with your designs though, some troll hijacked dyotats design and that he was nice enough to share with people.

Good luck on your…Read more

I should get a chance this week.
What hammer weight you think might be necesary to opem the valve at 3600 psi? And do you think the stock spring will work for that?

anyway im shooting 75.6grain .251sized bullet at 920-940fps.

my problem could also be from casting technique. im very new to casting so much to learn. i had a batch that doing 3 inch group at 150m so its a fair start to me.

And tin is even more soft as lead, it depends on the content off other mettals in the alloy which you have, but pure tin is bhn 3-4 which is swiss cheese as well. Try pure lead or a 25:1 mix lead tin. Should work gret in your airrifle. And dont size them down to much lets say your mold thows…Read more

thank you so much for your input. it does give me some kind of idea. i think somehow the bullet went spiraling. i size it down to .251 and shooting it out of standard factory barrel.

at 33m

at 41m

i shoot many many groups at these distance and all with consistent result. upon inspection, the bullet head seems pretty…Read more

Would that damage the rest of the barrel? I dont know.

And on which pressure you ran the tank? I am thinking whe you attach a 4500psi bottle and a heavy hammer and a spring which closes the valve after the hammer stiked it it could work. I want something like 16-1800 fps Ive made a gun with a 1:9 twist barrel to shoot longer more suitable projectiles for supersonic…Read more

Ok tank dump, i think thats not a problem, to solve that just install a closing spring like the 177 condor high flow valve has.
