The speed also depends on the Gun, For instance one day we were messing about with my magnetospeed chronograph on my Perazzi trap gun with 18.4 barrels and using gamebore White gold 28gr fibres with 32 inch barrel the 5 shot average was 1300fps, near to the advertised 1350fps, when then swapped it over to a Miroku MK38 with 32in barrels but these were back bored and 18.6 the 5 shot average was 1175fps, so the barrels made a difference. there was less recoil with the Miroku, and it broke the long crossers but not as convincingly as the tighter barrelled Perazzi. we did test a ew other brands and found that the slower ones patterned better. not scientific but it's what our findings were at the time.

Owned both, still have the S200 compatto seems very delicate, tap it on anything and my zero would shift.

There's a Network of gamekeepers our way that actively reports everything that happens and any poaching that happens and because of this quite a few of them have been caught and prosecuted, this is there way of saying up yours we'll do what we like. I have been out Foxing and they turn up, they are very aggressive, so I just leave the field and report it, I'd hate for them to get hold of any of my Rifles, so best course of action is leave and report. you stand no chance against 5 of them. they are everywhere around our way. North Hampshire.

Depends what length barrel your Crown has, My friend has the .25 with a 500mm barrel and using 33.95 JSB kings running @850 fps so around 55ft/lb it shoots one hole groups at this speed and he's getting 50 shots before coming off reg we set the reg pressure to 130 bar, and turned up the hammer spring by removing the Stock to aid adjustment, he does very well with it, Hes using a Pard dS35 - 70 Scope with the BC s'o no need to worry about drop etc, it works very well if setup properly.

Lets all go back to bartering.

Get one of these filter strap Good to see another Rapid still being used.

The Thermtec ARES360 is my preferred choice of the Thermtec Units, I have benn using it to good effect for near on 2 years, I done the testing on them and give feedback to Cliff at Optical solutions, when he brought them into the country, they have got better and better with each update. If you have the dual lens Model< I can save you a few bullets, because it needs zeroing in both profiles 60mm and 20 mm, once zeroed it automatically adjusts when switching between the 2 lens.

I purchased the Wulf model from Optics warehouse, I read the chinglish instruction manual from cover to cover, about only using it on a PCP bottle etc I Installed a Vibration activated hours meter, and managed to get 3.4 hours out of it until it expired, I went through the warranty returns procedure with Optics warehouse He asked me to try several things despite me telling him I am a Vehicle Mechanic, so I know a Knackered sound when I hear it, then he said what are you setting the cut off temperature at, I said I have left it to the Default setting which was 85C he said it should be set for 45C, so I asked him to show me the page in the Manual where it says 45c He couldn't find it, also you have to manually start the cooling fan, after starting the compressor itself. So I have been sent a New one, and followed his instruction of setting the temp cut off to 45c and it's been OK so far. But it's very slow. I have been using it to top up my Rifle whilst out Ratting, so it is useful for that, but seeing has I have 12 Air rifles I use a lot of Air, so I bit the Bullet and purchased a Hill EC3000 which is light years ahead of the Wulf ( Tuxing ) compressor, Takes around 3 minutes to take the 500 cc bottle on my rifle from 170 bar to 250 bar Plus you can fill up to a 7 litre dive bottle according to the instructions. So in conclusion the Wulf does a Job, but the Hill EC3000 does it much better, and you can get all the spares for it should it go wrong and its Made in the UK.

Well the really fascinating thing is, out of a population of 326 million, all they could come up with is Trump or Biden, seems to me their all completely mad:)

I had reamed the choke out of the barrel with a .20 hand reamer, not something I'd recommend doing, but it used to keep throwing flyers so after 3 mags I think I have fixed it🙂

It was quite funny I was at my local rifle clubs indoor range and they were having a .22rimmie competition and there was a Lane spare, so I waited until they all stopped to check targets and asked if I could check my rifle whilst their competition was running, everyone agreed I could, so I just sat down, dialled in the distance rifle was resting on a Bipod with a rear bag as support and I was seated, I took my first shot and thought that will od, so kept on shooting until all my mags were empty which was 3 x 12 shot mags, I stopped there because I didn't want to mess the target up by getting a flyer. The 22 Rimmie Guys were impressed seeing as they had some expensive toys there. It's had a few modifications to it, but nothing too drastic.

WHoops, I didn't read the rules Typical, it's not too bad for an old Rapid🙂

36 shots or 3 mags @ 30 yards .20 Rapid MK2 FAC with JSB heavies 925fps about 30ft lbs, it was a indoor range and rested, the bull was about the size of a 5 pence piece.

I Have a 3 litre Ford Ranger 2009 model and the Fuel figures are pretty good for a Big truck MY best on a run is 36.7MPG my average is 31MPG if I do mixed on /off road where your in 1st/2nd gear then it's normally 28 mpg, Worst it's ever Done is 26MPG, the trick is not to rev over 2000 rpm It does 63MPH @ 2000 RPM in 5th gear, so by using the progressive gear changing technique, you can save a few quid. I keep a very close eye on fuel consumption for all my Vehicles Honda CR-V is the best, It returns 44MPG mostly dropping to 39 Mixed Driving , The worst is my 3 Litre Mercedes Sprinter 7speed auto 22MPG is about the average to matter how it's driven
