Thanks Kris. I'd want to sample a couple of .356 pellets before putting down some cash; I'd sure hate to see 100 bucks go down the drain. The AAO stuff looks interesting, but holy smokes 300 bucks? Ouch. Lol...my wife is going to wring my neck. I tried to make her understand that I'd be saving money in the long term with this initial investment, but all I got was a raised eyebrow. I fixed her a drink and did the dishes for her...and I left it at that. A smart man knows when to zip it. I still want to try it out though.

I should mic those ebay slugs I bought and see what they come out to. That way I'll know to avoid them, since the slugs did not perform well at all. I'll run a couple of other tests, but I'm not going to hold my breath. At least I only ordered one box.They shot like this from the crappy stock barrel:100m-group_zps2d686c3d by abbababbaccc, on Flickr

I still want to try it out though.When Jeremy started selling the AAO molds, they were the only ones on the market at that time. I paid $250 and waited 5 weeks to get the mold from him. It was worth it to me. I had just bought the Hatsan Carnivore BT 65 .357 and was having loading and accuracy issues with it using slugs. I found that the gun liked lighter, pellet shaped ammo. The Rex P pistol is the same way as well. The Recluse is not to picky with ammo. I all my guns are stock and have no intentions of modifying them in the future. I know their limitations and be governed accordingly. When NOE started selling molds, I invested in a few to reduce the cost of ammo, they have basically paid for themselves in a few months. As far as dealing with the other half, I can't help you there, you are on your own with that one.

That should be real nice and tight at 40-50.
Now that is one heck of a group!
No kidding. Now that really makes me want to look harder at converting my Sumatra long to .257.
I'd need to take a look at that thread again...but didn't something need to be done about the breech and probe too?
