After posting about wanting heavier slugs for the condor to see what I can do a fine member here by the tag Johninthecamper let me know he could make them. We chatted over the phone for a few and the deal was sealed. Nice dude to deal with and the 1/2 and 3/4 round short boat tails look awesome. They are 45 gr .218 and out of the 4-5 I looked at last night after I got home all looked very good. No cast marks or flaws. Packaged very weel each snuggled in their own spot in a 50 rnd tray each hole had the excess space filled with a filler to protect them then each tray wrapped in bubble wrap. I cannot wait to send a few down range hopefully this weekend. I will try to get some pics up this evening after I get home. I will put them side by side with JSB 25 gr monster and EJ 32 gr points for size  comparison and also take measure ments for length and diameter. WIll also post chrony numbers once I get them. Wifes off on Vday for the first time in forever so tomorrow is most likely shot. lol

Nice.  Can't wait to hear more about the much needed 22 heavy custom slugs.  I keep my fingers crossed.

And yeah, V-Day's got me down (no airguns or hunting or riding the motobike...lol) too........lol!

So i managed to drop off the wifes radar for a few minutes today! Measured the pellets and heres the numbers.

45 gr 1/2 round total length .51 inches, .2175 diameter, .338 body length befor the tip starts.

3/4 round .507 total length, .2175 diameter, .47 body length.

Ej 32 gr .583 total length, .218 diameter.

Shot 3 down range. First of each went clean and right on target. Set up the chrony and pumped up the gun from 2500 to 3k and dumped most of the tank. Got it up to 907 though! And got it all on video. Once i get the videos edited and put together ill post. For now a pic of the 2 45 gr next to ej 32 & 28 gr jsb 25 gr and predator 16 gr for size comparison.

Monkey, will get the video up tomorrw.

Rsterne: its the stock barrel that came on the rifle.

Here is the video of the initial tests run with the 45 gr pellets. Not bad results will have to do accuracy testing later. I also pulled a few out of my trap and the mushrooming is pretty good. They should make a solid squirrel round.

Final set up is .025 washer, ttqc top hat wide open, 3 kpsi fill, 95 gr hammer, pw set at 0.

The tank dump is also on the video. Its pretty funny.

[Monkeydad1969]

Tank dump suk.  My bro-n-law's tank dumped day 1, and a few times after, but only with the .22 barrel.  Seems the bushings were off.  After realignment, no more dumps.  But it will let you know you are alive.  Scope smacked him the first 2 times---lmbo.

Yeah the tank dump only happens when the top hat is wide open. I can shoot the 32 gr ej all day with a .020 spacer but the 45 need the .025. Been having a ton of fun with this condor.
