I just went down the 25 caliber rabbit hole too. Oh my what a hoot! I've got 2 already and looking at more. This is a converted Diana Bandit that I got got from Airgun Archery Fun.
Stuff is shipping pretty fast for me, but carrier delays are happening across the board. I've got orders that are delayed with every single one of them. It's frustrating.
I'm well stocked on reloading and casting supplies, and I can shoot firearms at home. The only downside is I'm limited to about 75 yards and I can only shoot in one direction safely. My airguns are quieter and I can shoot them in almost any direction I want to without fear of hitting anyone or...
I bought 2 new Daisy BB guns in the last week and 20,000 BBs. I'm having a blast, and my other airguns are being ignored for the time being. I can't believe just how accurate these smoothbore barrels are.
There's a huge difference in length of pull. The Buck is definitely made with kids in mind. The Adult RR fits my 6'1 250lb frame just fine.
I like the straight lever of the Buck better and it seems to have a little better trigger pull than the adult RR but I really can't tell any difference in...
Daisy Precision max are the only ones I've shot. The same ones that were shooting poorly in my old RRs are shooting great in my new Daisy Buck and Adult RR.
I just got a new Buck and a new adult Red Ryder. Neither of them are throwing flyers like my 2 older RRs do. I'm wondering if they are built to tighter tolerances now.
Here's a look at the latest batch of powder coated BBs.
Being a part of the reloading community, I'm accustomed to doing ladder tests to determine the power level a particular load is happiest at. There are many variables but velocity is certainly one of them. We're dealing with air instead of powder, but the theory is still the same.
I'll be happy to send you some. I've got a lot going on for the next week or so, but if you'll send me your address, I'll get some out to you as soon as possible.
That's good advice. I think people have a tendency to overuse lube. A little is good, but too much is bad.
I ordered one of your springs, and I'm looking forward to making my Daisy all it can be.
I'm a bullet caster and I discovered powder coating and prefer it over traditional lube. I use a method called shake and bake. It's easily found on YouTube.
I've always loved my red ryders and a shoot them a good bit. I've recently started stretching out and plinking at longer ranges and...
The samples I measured seem to be between .1745 and .1750. It's tough measuring a round ball, and I have a cheap digital caliper. I have no scientific proof of accuracy, but I can tell you I'm not seeing the wild flyers I was getting before.
I've been talking to Shane on YouTube and he pointed me to this thread. I hope you don't mind if I post a picture of my powder coated BBs here for him to see.
A couple of months ago I would have said 45-70, and I do love my 1895g. I recently picked up a 20 inch Rossi in 45 colt, and it's the one that goes with me now. I chose it over 44 magnum because I already had dies and brass for it. There's nothing in my neck of the woods it won't handle with...
