Title: Airforce Condor 25 and the NOE 57 grain slug
Post by: Boolits on January 10, 2023, 10:32:38 AM

My neighbor and I both own the .25 condor. I just received yesterday the NOE 250-60 FN RG4.  Spent about an hour breaking it in and started a run of casting. It is dropping from the mold at about 56.1-56.5 grains.  What a boolit!  I have the .145 top hat currently in my gun and proceeded to shoot about a 3/4 inch group at 50yards  with the settings I have tuned for the 35 grain pellets I cast.  What experience if any do you have with this boolit?  What top hat settings do you use?  Neighbors gun is wide open top hat and he got about a nine shot useable group at 50 from 850 to 810 fps 2800psi to 2000 psi. All boolits touching at 50.  Was just curious who is shooting this and what their settings and experiences are.   Just trying to get some ideas. 

Thanks

I am curious to hear people’s experiences with these as well.  I shoot these out of my condor with Doug Noble / TJ .2500 setup - 1100 fps (or even higher if i max out the power wheel).  I also have a talondor with an 18” AF barrel but i shoot the 50 grain bbt out of that gun and haven’t tested the 60 grain with the chronograph in that gun .   

 I mostly have been doing off hand open sights shooting the last couple of years and can’t comment on accuracy on the level that many on the forum are able.  I found them to be very consistent out of the TJ barrel. Good enough that I didn’t feel the need to use any other projectiles. I don’t do benchrest shooting, but I’ll just say that I fired at least many hundreds of rounds of those through it and I whatever level of accuracy I personally was able to attain, they were accurate enough to reflect that. I had the same experience with the 50 grain bbt through the 18 inch LW barrel

I think from reading reviews of projectiles here that  you really need to test at longer range (50m+) to assess accuracy on a serious level and I won’t be able to do that for sometime.

Did some testing last night and am pleasantly surprised.  I am currently working on editing the video and will post link here when I get it put together.

I am looking forward to your video.
I have a Condor also.
