Testing New Air Tank on Condor

[shamu25]

Snowy in Michigan today so great weather for casting bullets.  Trying my new 4350 psi Chinese tank with Arsenal Molds 257 "Noble" in 92 gr.  The mold is awesome and drops great bullets right from the get go.  I do preheat the mold carefully which helps a lot.  Set my Condor PW on 7 and fill to 4000 and getting a bell at 920 935 and 915 fps with end pressure at 3600psi.  Close to 180 fpe is quite good I thought.  Now to get a weather break to check accuracy.  This gun shoots the 70 gr Lymans very accurately at 3000 psi fill and 0 on the PW.  Looking for more velocity with the heavier bullets for yotes.

Those look nice! If my wife ever lets me get another air rifle after the Texan I just got it would be a condor in .257 for sure!

Thanks Tim.  You will not be disappointed for sure with a .257.  Talk about a sweet spot check out this string that I shot this am.

Thanks guys it's amazing what two years experience will do. I found casting is as much of an art than a science
