Brainless Wop strikes again!!!

[Pappy]

That's why I went with AA 8.44gr Diabolo Field 4.52 ..... way more consistent .... at least when you don't squash one in the breech!

         Hi Allen, I didn't forget about the bell. Tried to get some pics of it, but can't get anything useful. It's mounted thru 3x10 timbers. My parents ( 94 and 90 ) don't drive anymore. Doctor appointments, shopping, and trying to keep their property cleaned up takes most of my time. I need to take it apart soon for repairs. When I do I can get some good pics for you.

You guys seem to have all missed the halcyon days of the Crosman SuperPel in the fish food tins.

I left far more of them on the ground after falling through the bore than I ever got to shoot. The marginal ones had my poor old Slavia cursing me in Czech about dry fires.

Thanks Tom, but I already built it.  I got an 11" fire bell, built a box with 2 sides open.  I made two plungers, one about 3/4" and another about 3/8".  Works fine, loud, but started shooting the bell directly from the open sides.  Very loud, cool.  I am going to make a new front with just a couple of small holes directly to bell.  Bell is not dented when hit, just scuffs the red paint off.
Thanks anyway;
Allan

Well Joe .... Send it back to me for Tweaking, PROMISE to take my time, give MANY excuses as to why not done, Shoot it a bunch and try and figure out why not owning one too

Have you tried Hatsan Vortex Surpreme pellets? It is my understanding that they and Beeman FTS are rebranded FTTs.  I did a chrony comparison of Beeman FTS and Vortex Supreme in my SHO kitted HW50, and the FTS had an es of 13.86 and sd of 4.89. The Vortex were more consistent with an es of 9.75 and an sd of 2.82. Both strings were 10 shots. The Vortex also shoot more accurately. They might be worth a try in your PS.
Good luck.

so what did you do? bust out a micrometer?? i mean how else could you tell how snug the pellets would be before you load them in the breach? could it have been caused by unequal rifling in the breach area?? causing the tight fit pellets to deform a bit? or a rifle land biting too much on one side??

  Dude............

  A brainless Wop would use a dial caliper as a spoon to drizzle Marinara over his macaroni, not measure pellets with it.
  We're trying our best to bring Joe along slowly, and if you keep throwing complicated lingo like 'micrometer' out there he's gonna get frustrated.



   

  To really answer your question, the only way to be sure would be to sort by head size.

  I believe one of our serious bench rest competitors and creative resident genius members of the "Geek Squad" uses an optical comparator for measuring his pellets  and has his own personal CNC machine for part fabrication. He also developed an electronically controlled trigger and solenoid valve for a bench rest rifle he built for competition. The powers that be in the competition decided that the trigger setup gave him an unfair advantage

Micrometer??? Wayne......read title of thread and take it literally bro!!!
I wouldn't know what to do with that bad boy!! It hurts my brain just saying it!
Impossible for me to tell before loading. I realized the problem when inserting pellet in the rifle.
Snug ones shoot beautifully and the tighter ones, not by much but you can feel the difference, were all over the place......and this rocket scientist swore it was the rifle!!
The tins I have are about 1 year old. I have a few and all tins are the same.....not very consistent.
Only reason I stick with them is they shoot better than the JSBs......when they fit snug not tight.

Ya know, if I didn't know every word of that was true it would sound like a good joke. 
He is rather impressive, isn't he!!

I'm confused Joe.
The AG ain't showed up in the mail yet.

Hang in there Jeff.....Pony Express is a bit slow!!!

Ya, ya ,ya. Next excuse is the Pony Express got robbed!

  Actually I think I saw it happen this morning on the Jersey Tpk right near the exit 11 rest area

It hurts my brain just saying it!

Sort of contradicts the title of your first post Josepie

I was waiting for someone to pick up on that Bob!!
