Eventually the slug or pellet just barely clips the baffle, knocking it slightly out of alignment. Then the next shot knocks it further out of alignment. Fast forward a few shots and the shroud is worthless. It’s like a flat roof with water…Read more

Jerry’s 9 ring slugs are super long yet they stabilize perfectly in my LW barrel.

When I fire Aguila SSS rounds in my old Remington Nylon 66, about every third bullet keyholes in the paper target. Those bullets are 60 grain and not nearly as long as a 9 ring slug.

Thanks for the information. That’s good power you’re getting. Do you have detailed photos you can post of your .308 that shows us the valve, etc, so we can see if those are custom parts made by R & L?

If I’m interpreting you right, you’re suggesting that the 669 70fpe?? shot WAS an accurate reading. Yeah, that makes sense to me. The others are definitely way off, but maybe the Combro got that one shot right. It matches up with the 671 fps that AirGunner1 says I should be getting.

That is an entirely upfront and honest way to conduct business, and we all appreciate it. When I get a 24″ barrel, I’ll be sure to order some of your slugs, confident that I’m not being overcharged for shipping.

If you’re in my situation, I sincerely hope that my original suggestion will save you significant money on shipping.

I’m asking because I set up a tree stand to hunt pigs at just 15 yards and want to know if I could use these slugs in a 17 3/8″ barrel at that distance. I want to see if the slugs work at real short ranges and deliver more punch than a 44 grain EJ at 15 yards.

By US postal service, shipping is the same price all over the country, so there is no legitimate reason why PA charges $20 to ship four tins to Hawaii on their own site and $6 to ship four tins to Hawaii when you reach their site via Amazon.

It would bang and smoke like a .22 rimfire. It dramatically increased the power, too; I could blow a pellet through thick phone books. However, accuracy went to hell and there was no consistency shot to shot. I was also concerned about…Read more

Phat,
I posted on this today, reporting that I was getting identical phone book penetration with my new Condor valve as I was with my original Talon valve. Tony explained to me that, in order to get the Condor valve to really put out full strength, I need to get…Read more

With the 12″ .22 barrel, you won’t get as much power out of your Condor as you will with an 18″ or 24″ barrel. A lot of the extra air is just wasted. But that’s what you want for backyard Kaneohe shooting, right? Too much power isn’t good in a neighborhood setting. Norgeiron
