Mike I casted my own with the Lee mold, I used pure lead and they came out to .354.

That guy might have cast them with wheelweight lead too
My Challenger in .30 should be here tomorrow. I have a couple tins of cheap Hatsan Vortex pellets I found on Amazon so I have something to try in it. I don't have high expectations for those, but I also have a sampling of NSA slugs coming and some FX Hybrid slugs. I hope I find something it likes! The Alpha 6 scope from Extreme Tactical is out for delivery, so hopefully, I'll be shooting it later this week! I reached out to Donny (DonnyFL) about an adapter for a moderator and was told they have one in the works and it should be on their website in the next month to month and a half. Not sure how much shooting I'll be doing in the backyard without a moderator, hopefully, it's not going to be too loud.
Well I just pulled the trigger on my smallest big bore, CHALLENGER STANDARD AIR RIFLE.30 Cal.
Thanks Dan and Rob !!! Dan I did cast some up with the short pins but haven't shot them yet, them babies are much heavier than the light one's.
Wayne, does the Challenger come with a single shot tray? What is the breech opening without the Magazine if one wanted to shoot longer/heaver slugs singly?
