Sam Yang Recluse .357

I remember when the Recluse first came out. We had the Sam Yang 909 for a while then the Light Hunter and the Recluse rolled out. I thought the Recluse was an under powered Fire 201 knock off with a cheesy name and spider on the receiver. Years later I had to buy one. Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of good things to say other than the gun is out of the box accurate with JSB pellets. Actually, it shoots most of what I put through it inside 50 yards. JSB's do well out to 70 yards along with RM's 84 gr pellets. Other than that it's front heavy, low on power, and the trigger is like working a brick. For all the extra air cylinder volume I'd think the goal would be marrying power and shot count. It has ok shot count but that's about it. The "tray" for the loading port made loading a little more finicky. Round balls load like a charm but anything else had a tendency to catercorner going into the loading port. I've given up hope on finding a Corsair 357 so I still have a spot for a 250 to 265 fpe gun. I think Ill get this one along with my Career Ultra tuned. Anyhow, the group below is a 4 shot group with JSB pellets. One went a little high.
3000 psi with JSB 81 gr pellets:

A.Z.,
Will can make that thing work for you much better...he did mine and its doing great with
much better power, accuracy, shot count and trigger than before.
as you know, i'm using RM's 108gr HP in mine and 5 are touching since i've been tinkering with the setup and power levels @ my max swamp hunting distance of 50 yrds traveling 921fps for 203 fpe.
when you get your recluse to 230-250fpe, let me know what you did and i will get mine done also. i'd really like to see this platform do that with 3Kpsi fill.

I got my recluse up to 180 fpe with 125 gr. And about 195 with 105 gr that I cast . I'm thinking in order to get over 200 ftlbs I will have to increase the throat in my valve . Just don't know if I want to I got 2 shots that are within 20 fps and the 3 drops off a bit more . I'm happy with groupings from .358 size slugs I'm getting

195 isnt bad at all. Much better than the standard form.
