Qdoggus:
Hey everyone, I'm new to the big bore side but not the forums. Just got my Eldy's Big Bore .357 kit installed, and with factory internals on a mild ported factory tophat, she pushed 144 fpe with the 115gr air venturi round nose bullets at 2600 psi. I now have a 25 gram striker weight(diy) (Thanks to Eldy for the collar shaft idea!), and a Talon Tunes Quick Change Tophat, but I havent tested since the mods. Any idea what to expect?

Very nice.  I think with the right tune, you should push the 200fpe mark.

Thank you Monkey! I'd wager that you're not far off. I have some 215gr spitzers coming hopefully next week, cant wait to try them! Not sure how big of a difference the tophat and striker made (plus a couple of other mods), but it's shooting hot enough to send these big soft slugs (115gr) right through a 1/8" aluminum sign at 20 yards like a hot knife through butter. That aluminum sign has been a benchmark of sorts through the years across many air guns and though some have made a big dent, very few have gone through, and most you could tell barely made it. These slugs are passing right through though leaving clean holes, metal flowers on the exit side.

Hey! You have my Talon SS big brother! Eldy was telling me about your build.

Sweet bro, nice to meet you! Eldy was alot of fun to work with, even after the sale we continue to talk, which to me is way different than other businesses I've dealt with. He makes a great kit too, the only things I had to change were moving the barrel bushings just a smidge for my setup, and trimming the tophat adapter to get rid of the slight bit of valve opening overlap. I think initially my Chrony numbers were lower simply because the valve opening was restricted a little, but it was easy to fix. I cant say enough good things about Eldy, but you know what I mean. I'll be getting the chrony back out today...
