Most of the time its a consistent expected velocity.

I checked the TH and with the new valve with the two set screws its not going anywhere.

I am thinking maybe occasionally the valve is doing a mini dump?

should i try a different…Read more

I would think 998 fps with a 12″ is pretty dang good. To get more you might be able to use a shorter breech and move the barrel back a bit to shorten the gap between the tophat and barrel ie. dead space that must pressurize before the pellet is propelled…Read more

Glad to here you found them in stock. I hope your experience with them is the same as mine.

I am trying the JSB Heavies right now and they are showing promising results at 25 yds sub 1/2″ 5 shot groups in a breezy day.

I’m pretty sure the Benjamin pellets are the same way. They had them in the bargain cave so I got them for about 1/2 I would pay to get them from PA.

BTW Pandemic you might check out RWS superdomes as they are pretty cheap and shoot nearly as well as CPH for me.

Lastly, does anyone know if the H&N round shot shoots worth a damn in the Talons? I used to shoot the Gamo rounds in a Disco…Read more

I bought a cheap tin of .22 “Match” wadcutters and they looked horrible as well as shot dismally. It is interesting to see not all of their stuff is junk.

They show how they work. They are basically an insert for weaver/picatinny rings. I like them as they fit tight and they allow conversion to weaver/picatinny from dovetail with as little rise as possible.

They are also hand lapped to the ten thousands range so they should be super smooth. I don’t know how well the 22LR barrel translates to shooting pellets but it might be interesting.

I am thinking of trying a couple of different things for .22. My PB smith uses Benchmark barrels and they made their original reputation in 22LR match benchrest barrels. They make a 2 groove that I am tempted to try. Just saw that the price of the ST was kind of tempting.

Probably bent barrel though. If the barrel is out of alignment it is possible that as the striker travels towards the breech it may contact with uneven pressure resulting in barrel movement at the muzzle end?

Is divers any different? I am trying to set the barrel back a tad in the bushings. The front bushing is pretty loose so they may have been a little far back. This results in moving the breech end of the barrel farther back. There is definitely better alignment of the breech on the barrel. I can still feel…Read more

Thats about what I figured and I think that is the majority of it. I put in new breech o-rings today though and I am definitely getting some leakage there as I can feel it and hear a bit of difference every once in a while though not enough to make a POI difference at 20 yards.

My PW is pretty much maxed out and I don’t really wanna go past what the tophat is set at. I may add some mass to the hammer ie. washers just to see. I currently have a .25″ nylon spacer above the hammer that I can switch out for steel washers. I was testing…Read more

PW at 10-0

Kodiak 10.62 gr .177

40 shots
average 640 fps
SD: 3.5
ES: 11

2800 psi shot to 2400

Need to get it on paper now and see if the tight velocity numbers translate to tight groups

BTW ProChrony sucks extremely finicky (err, err, err) I know I know its not mine. 🙄

As far as accuracy goes I have a pretty high standard I shoot cans at 80 yards with my 177 Disco. I will adjust my technique and look into the trirail. A full stock would also remedy hold issues too it seems though a bit pricey.
