If your like me and have seen a few of this guys video, then you know this was bound to happen. He can handle a weapon when he’s not trying to be the most tactical man in the world, but he tries to be that guy in most of his videos. I find his attempts at being “tactical” painful to watch.

The site loads much faster on my PC, but I like the old design better. The reason is the new background is a distraction. I am a huge horror movie/book fan and I am not a religious person, but the ever-present demonic face is a turn off while looking at your new site. That’s my personal opinion about the new site, but it will not prevent me…Read more

Molds are usually designed to cast at a certain diameter with a certain alloy. The RCBS mold is designed to give that .251 with Lymans #2 alloy I believe. Mine casts 253 to 254 with 30-1 alloy.

Custom molds can be ordered to cast with what ever alloy you specify, my 452 mold from Accuratemolds for the 408 to 420 grain…Read more

Exactly. Jerry and Gippeto said what I though I was trying to say but a heluva lot better. Was on you side of the argument. I believe it is possible to diesel a PCP, but will do what I can to avoid it, because I know its not good for the rifle.

I am sure you know what you are talking about, but I don’t think you and I are are the same page. Let me explain my logic. Lighter fluid (the liquid) is not going to ignite either by having its molecules compressed by a pellet forcing it between it (the pellet) and the barrel. In a springer or a NPSS the friction between the pellet and the…Read more

I agree that raygun is on another page. However, your concept of what is burning and how it is ignited is a bit off base as well.

Want to learn. I thought it was the heat created by the friction of the molecules/atoms being compressed that generated the heat that caused combustion. I am genuinely asking, what causes the…Read more

He tested your claim with lighter fluid. Lighter fluid is a virtually non-viscus liquid that evaporates easily. The vapors will ignite before the liquid. Only friction not compression could cause enough heat for the vapors to ignite in an air rifle. That…Read more

Sorry to keep off topic SS.

Joe, I am also looking for people in my area who know a good place to shoot. Not to long ago Valrico was mostly orange groves and cow pastures. Now its all subdivisions and strip malls.
