I've had a couple outings so far with the Epox Badger, and it's a beast! My first big bore so I'm totally impressed of course =)
I was able to get some chrony numbers for the Nielsen Specialty Ammo 215, and 112 grain projectiles. These were all done at around 300' above sea level and around 80F* outside. Shots were not done tethered. And the chrony was about 12ft away.
1st string: 215gr | 4k FPSI - 22k EPSI | 3 shots | 823-811-772 fps
2nd string: 215gr | 4k FPSI - 22k EPSI | 3 shots | 822-809-786 fps
Then I upped the fill pressure to 4200psi. Gave a nice little curve actually.
3rd string: 215gr | 42k FPSI - 28k EPSI | 3 shots | 803-823-787 fps
For the 112's -
1st string: 112gr | 4k FPSI - 17k EPSI | 4 shots | 1032-989-943-866 fps (Gonna try a higher fill pressure next rip to see if that can't turn into a decent curve.)
I dropped the fill pressure(Ran low on air. Only have a 44cf tank lol) for the 2nd string -
2nd string: 112gr | 38k FPSI - 21k EPSI | 3 shots | 996-960-898
I've only shot about 50 rounds so far and had cleaned the barrel so I haven't done any real accuracy testing or configuration. But I managed about a half inch group for the first two shots with the 215's at 50 yards. The 3rd shot was about an inch low. I was shooting from a makeshift bench and shooting bag. She's currently wearing an older Hawke AirMax 2x7-32.
The 112's were about the same accuracy wise. These will be great for predator or medium size game hunting. Especially if the higher fill pressure gives a 4 shot curve like it looks like it might.
Think I am gonna try the Mr. HP 185 grains to speed things up a bit for a deer slug.
Seems to use a good bit of air. You can hear hammer bounce pretty good. If I can tighten it's air usage up a tad, and perhaps adjust the hammer spring, I think it could produce a real nice shot string.
