I still haven't tried mine over 3600psi yet. I may wait until someone else wants to play guinea pig because there's a possibility it might not really be that good on the poppet. If it for sure had a peek poppet in it I wouldn't even worry about it however going to much higher pressure just might not be all that good for that poppet

If it for sure had a peek poppet in it I wouldn't even worry about it however going to much higher pressure just might not be all that good for that poppet Yes 3600 and below is a lot easier on the gun ,and the compressor for sure , a better way to gain would be to get the long 32inch barrel bullpup model ... you will gain more power than the short barrel standard model plus it is shorter , and feels a lot lighter when shouldered , if AEA makes a .50 in this configuration that would really be some thing ! ,and I will buy one ...
mine bone stock with 4k fill pressure.....200fpe with jsb 81gr thru the mag.....tomorrow test the naked polymag, (tip removed) in the mag.i have taken several hogs with polymags in my power tuned rex.
what are you finding the best diameter sizing for accuracy ?
Dan, powder coat that Lee round. You'll make up at least 0.001 inch. Not sure it will make it accurate, but it will take up some space.

I have not casted the middle weight NOE pellet yet but I am dead positive it will do really good from the results on the other 2 weights casted ... Now I have the new barrel band on the .357 I am thinking this should tighten up groups , maybe tomorrow I will do some testing and see what effect the barrel band has ...

The price for a .457 or .50 Challenger Bullpup is very attractive, but the 10 lbs of weight is a bit of a turn off.

The price for a .457 or .50 Challenger Bullpup is very attractive, but the 10 lbs of weight is a bit of a turn off. with a 32 in barrel and a 500cc tube ,there's just no way to keep the weight down , at least not at the price that the AEA challenger is sold at , of course if you throw enough money at it , with carbon fiber and titanium and plastic stock you might get to 7- 8 lbs maybe. Big bores come with a weight penalty, unless your a fan of the Rex pistol. Manny sure likes his..
