At 8:03 am, found out yesterday they were making them. Should perform nicely with my JSAR Bulldog valve.
Had a nice visit with them about elk hunting around my old mountain place, many you have seen the range I had there In my 2013 utube video of my 615 yard hit on a 12oz cola can I made.

Sweet.

Is this a standard length Ti tube or a long tube with extra cubic inches?
Not finding anything on JSAR site yet?
-
It's there, in the benjamin section... made to order. It's standard length. But you can have a longer one made for $10/inch past factory length.
-
That should be a nice and light air tube for the BD. The gun is rated at 3k fill so does that kinda make 4.5k tube if ffilled to max pressure, it isn’t really designed to filled at 4.5k or I’m I missing something?
-
The tube was not in the site when I ordered ir. I have two uppers and one requires a standard length tube, so that is what I ordered
As far as fill pressure, It has not been stated by me so I guess your not missing a thing Randy.

Hey RC, good to see that you are still in the game. I experimented with 4000psi a couple of time with the new valve and got in the 325fpe range. If the gun can be shot at 4500lbs the fpe could go up to 350 or so if the rest of the gun can stand the pressure. If the rest of the gun won't stand that pressure, it will give lots of overhead for a regulator. Regards, Tom

4000 is a nice max to consider, assuming safety is checked, as it will still allow x number of fills from a 4500 psi bottle. It also starts to put a 142gr NSA or 150gr Nosler around 1000fps, which approaches the fastest one would want to go. Sure, you can use 178gr NSA ammo, but then you have to single load them.

I have two 358 molds, one is a Lyman 358429 which casts at 178 grains with 20-1, the other is a 120 grain Accurate mood they list as for airguns. Tom you shot some of those 178’s for me. The 178 does function in the magazine and The lake rat of Pitbull scored a golf ball hit with them at 300 plus yards, the 120 grain is far more accurate though. Both mushroom to the base in duct seal.
A regulator would be okay, if set to go off the reg at the 5th shot.
As many of you know I have low vision issues, so I bought a 4x16 FFP 30MM Hawke. The reticle grows as you dial it up so now I can shoot a little better, or most likely see what I am missing.
