    Just over 32mm grouping with a springer at 60yards+/-1 Very, very sweet indeed Skott Tighten it up by 8mm and thats freaking amazing I think I know of only 4 shooters capable of that (and all 4 are on this forum but doesn't include myself). Tony

    Although frowned upon by the authorities, yes a semi is perfectly legal at this moment in time in the UK I have shot TRUE Semi Auto Pistols such as the Styer LP50 (and took gold in a comp with it, pushing it's owner into 2nd place ) A true Semi is one that chambers the next round and recocks the hamer after the previous shot, thus a semi-auto 'Legally' requires one press of the trigger to release 1 shot (and not the 'semi' as in a Umarex Pistol, where the semi-auto action revolves the mag, cocks and releases the hammer where as the magazine acts as the breech).

    The thing between the NEWER Crosman Hollow points and the more "Traditional" Hollow points is that the Crosman's are domed, with a very sharp, narrow Cone cut into them, where as the more traditional HP's were either flat headed with a bit cut out or flanged with a cut out. Below: H&N, RWS Super Hollow points,Bisley HP's and bottom left the New Crosman Hollow Points. Copywrite of the above images belong to whoever took them, despite the Ronnie sunshine logo! Tony

    I certainly wouldn't use a pottery kiln!!! Even pro wood kilns rarely go above 30-40'c A Pottery kiln would carbonise the wood as they run in the 100's to 1000's Even in a pro wood drying kiln it takes several days to several weeks to dry the wood If you are going to cut a block then air dry it, cut it well over sized because it will twist And a few months I would say is about right as long as you know that a 'few months' in air drying times can be from 12 to 36 months. I went down the road yesterday to ask if I could have the Mahogony the guy had lying in his garden He still h

    I've got two pumps now The outlay was minimal and its easy enough to fill a cylinder from empty (Well I find it easy ansd I'm overweight and unfit!). The person who I got the new Brocock pump from found it difficult to fill his rifle from empty. My own pump was easy enough to use (for me) but the new brocock pump is a dream to use compared to my old one! I rarely shoot more than 20 shots when out on the perms, and I tend to top up either just after or before the the shoot Tony

    Hiya Frank, Pellets can either up or down the power a fair whack. Chronoed my S200 the other day. This is the average data that it returned: Bisley Magnums 21grain @ 11.50 ft/lbs (max was 11.76) Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums 14.30grain @ 10.25 ft/lbs RWS SuperFields 15.9 grain @ 10.87 ft/lbs RWS Hobbies 11.90 grain @ 9.50 ft/lbs Now the really interesting thing was that Air Arms Fields at 15.9 grain used to give me 10.50 ft/lbs, despite being the same weight as the RWS SF's. Thus proving that it's not just the weight of the pellet but the combination of weight and shape of the p

    Hi again, The Crosmans are listed as 14.30grain on all the tins I've used. As for the Pointy things, if you like to hit things other than the ground or the backstop around the target forget em Pointed pellets are the absolute worst for accuracy. I've not tried the Crosman Pointed simply because I've used other pointed pellets. The point has to be dead central to the centre line of the pellet. Ehilst they may be like that when they come from the die by the time they are ready to get into the breech the points are usually damaged and no longer central, affecting the flight charactoristics

    Expansion on a sub12 is an Urban Myth On a high power cartridge round, different kettle of fish indeed! Hugh what rifle are you using? PCP or springer?
  13. Phantom
    Hi there Hugh, In short NOPE, I have used AAF's and am now using the Crosmans with excellent results. I can interchange the normal Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums (normal domed ones) with the Hollow Pointed versions and they are still hitting the same hole! The cut out isn't deep enough to make much of a differance and the power ME with both pellets is the same. Using the AAF's I used to get 10.50 ft/lbs using the Crosmans I'm getiing a little less but less than a few feet per second! Dont get hung up on one pellet giving a touch more or less muzzle energy, I've got my gun set at ju

    A kiln to dry wood, would probably bankrupt you, what I should have said was "Access to a kiln" :oops: You would need a specialist moisture meter to work out the moisture content. 7% is the usual accepted level for making furnature, carvings etc.... The problem with working with fresh wood, is that as it dries it's likely to warp or twist as it dries out and a high possibility of it splitting. If you really want to make a diy stock from it, leave it somewhere flat and dry (shed or even in a cupboard in the house) , but off the ground for a year or so. Tony

    Cherry is a lovely wood, but unless you have a kiln to dry it, it will take a hell of a long time to dry to about 7% moisture for working with. I've been tempted to knock on a door each time I go to the shop's as someone has a pile of mahogany laid on the grass doing nowt, A couple of pieces with a good bonding agent would save a fortune!

    As above, Fieldcraft and Patience are the two things you need more than your rifle My FC could do with some refinements, but I also fount that if I did scare the Grass Munchers, I could say "oh well!" and then just walk into range get down, sitting, or laying and wait within my range and just wait for them to come out again, not usually that long although they do wise up after a while and the time went from 10/20 minutes to over 45 and eventually longer.

    As Earth said, we used to walk all over the place, no slip, just the guns over the shoulder or over the arm (always broken barrel, like it was an unwritten cardinal rule) and no one ever batted an eyelid back then Now thanks to the fooking bunny hugging city dweller moving out into the 'burbs' and the overley hyped sensationalised bullpucky that the media force down people throats these days we've lost all that. Hell even the shotty owners used to walk around with their tools of the trade uncased broken over the arm or shoulder. I remember being in the paper shop buying sweets when a guy

    As said above it's a Milky Doe Usually you can tell before the milk starts to flow as the female has excessive fat between the skin and the muscle. Often if you hit a bunny just at the side of the eye, it will break the Orbit of the eye socket and it has the effect of pushing the eyeball forward, escpecially if the pellet is on a slight angle towards the front of the face such as a Quatering Shot. The lump, could be just a simple tear in the muscle facia from fighting or other previous injury, it's unlikely a Tapeworm cyste, however should you put a blade into the lump and get a
