Post by: EdinGa on December 27, 2023, 04:41:28 PM
I had a chance to play with my Christmas Brodax a little this morning. It's a hoot for sure.

I got three of them and the 357 Python looking one. Fun guns.

I'm pretty sure I've put at least a 100 shots through it and it's still on the first cartridge. I've been having too much fun to slow down and shoot for accuracy, but that's coming soon. I'm really impressed with it already. I was hitting that 8 Oz Dr pepper can easily at 15 yards shot after shot.

Do not shoot alloy pellets with your Brodax or Python. Don't know why but they get stuck and you can't get them out.

Hornady Black Diamond is what I feed mine if I want to hit small targets.

Mine seems to be doing great with Daisy Precision Max but I've been meaning to pick up some black diamonds.

I got lucky, a couple of years ago, when my local Walmart had the last remaining 5 on clearance for a couple of bucks per pack. Yep.....grabbed them all!

If I'm not mistaken, Black Diamond is marketed by Umarex now? I think I've seen them at Tractor Supply.

I dont think the brodax is meant to shoot pellets. But yes, black diamonds are absolutely king on this thing. like uncanny accurate (for a BB gun, smoothbore, crude fix sights, and a pistol at that. lol)

I'm going to keep my eyes open to for a sale on Black Diamonds, but Daisy Precision Max seem to be plenty accurate for plinking in mine.

tell me that revolver is not the ultimate can destroyer... have you run yours through the chrony? and getting about 90 shots per charge?

I haven't chronographed it yet but I'm pretty sure i got over 100 shots before it dropped off noticeably. There wasn't much left of the can for sure.
