Then you will find best spot for that bullet. I’ve also found that sometimes the max velocity gives a big drop in fps of the next shot so I’ll back off to a point where I get three shots closer in fps to each other. I had some 49 gr bullets doing 1251 fps with the 308 but next shot was 1230 ish so I backed the wheel the other way and found…Read more

There’s a 30 with I think .308 grooves. It says barrel OD is 12″. I measured the condor barrel about 1932″. So would it be as simple as a couple new bushings for the half inch barrel and custom end cap diameter? if so do you make these or suggest someone who does?

I’ve added airguns to my techniques a few years back and just kinda got hooked. That said, I am going to guess that the .257 would be better ran from the Condor or Talon platform. Many have done it and I see .257 barrels on sites like RL Airguns ready to roll.

I will certainly be tempted to pick up a .357 barrel and see how it does with the existing valve set up.
