Most Prod's really like the H&N FTT in 5.53. Mine would shoot Wally-world CP's ok and .51-.52 H&N's a lil better but the 5.53's shrunk group size quite a bit.
After further consideration, several drinks, more pondering, a couple more drinks followed by several hours combing through forums, then a couple more drinks, I've decided to order the Talon SS in addition to the p-rod. Is it the most sound financial decision I've made, no. But neither was investing in an XFL Football themed-Dentistry chain.Irregardless, the Talon is on it's way. It's been slightly delayed because I accidentally ordered the 177 instead of 22. The good folks at PA fixed it right up for me. In addition to the drunk web forums surfing, I also messed up the p-rod. Decided to try my hand at tuning a PCP. There's a first time for everything. In many cases, also a last time. Got it dialed in and shooting consistent strings in the upper 500's. Wasn't quite enough. Ordered some springs on a recommendation from the marauder forums. They've been sitting around here a couple weeks and I didn't examine them too closely until today. They were slightly shorter than the stock hammer spring. Didn't think too much about it. Reassembled, accidentally discharged it because my HS was all the way in, soiled myself ever so slightly. After I changed my drawers, put it all together and fired it. The pellet flopped out of the end of the barrel like pre-viagra Bob Dole. Spent a couple more hours and said "I quit". It's currently boxed up and on it's way to MAC1 for a real tune. In the meantime, the Talon should be here Tuesday afternoon. Starting to feel a slight itch in my throat and a headache coming on. May have to use sick time and get some bed-rest Tuesday. Just kidding, I'm calling off and camping out for the FedEx man. Being in a 1-day truck window via FedEx from PA makes all shipping "next day", I've gotten quite spoiled
