I've got the NOE 250-41-FN mold with the Lyman HP pin for one cavity, the other cavity is Flat nose or you can run both cavities for flat nose.  I like the hollow points the best because they're lighter at 36.7 grains rather than 41 grains.  I think the hollow points shoot better than the flat nose too.

Here's a pic of them

Thanks Wayne

When it's in my hot grubbies, I run some stock strings,
I have to find my OLD Beeman's (60-70's) 25 cal ammo is, not sure what the weights are.............

I am not sure about the side lever, never run one before................

Don I REALLY like the side lever on my .22, it's actually the best side lever I have, I do like sidelevers but the one on the Sentry NEVER pops open when I'm out hunting with it, it tucks down where branches and my clothing never catches on it at all.   I have yet to have it accidently shoot when it's half open because it simply doesn't happen, I've missed game because of that with other guns more than once.

So, just to track the revisions of the 705 sentry, the rifle I received is marked 705-9 so I assume it's revision 9? Any way to track the changes?

What would be the outcome of using the NOE 25 Wadcutter pellets in the Sentry 705-25 cal rifle,
with the power wheel turned down to the best accuracy etc. And also the 22 Sentry using wadcutter pellets..........

Could good results be obtained, at 30-40 yd distances and with accuracy.

I want to smack a Hosp/Starling with a 25 cal wadcutter pellet.........

Holy Snackbar, a flying ash can.....................   SPLLATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
Don

That has to cause problems with/in the action, excess pressure/stress on bolts etc......OUCH
Is that a common problem with side levers?

I have never had any problems with a standard bolt action, so far........and I don't Baby my rifles,
they are tools to me and I use them that way, I hunt hard, but don't abuse them.......

I only have 3 safe queens that stay in their sleeping bags and are only use once a year, these were my G-fathers weapons and were completely Reblued/finished by a close family friend, just before G-Pa died etc.

Don I haven't been having any problems with my Liberty recently because I always check it before shooting now to make sure it's fully engaged, On my Airmax Dominator it has happened but it doesn't happen too often on my DAR's either.  I only shoot in the woods and a lot of times when moving through thick brush etc. is usually when something like that happens and I don't notice it prior to shooting.  I can say that is not a problem with the Sentry side lever, when in the closed position it stays right there.

For wadcutters you'll have to back the power adjustment down as far as it will go, mine is reasonably accurate at 30 yards but haven't tried wadcutters since I did the mods to it.

I just ordered $30 worth of "O" rings for my 2 sentry's and Varmint air Rifles, when the order comes,
I'll tear down the 705-2 22 cal and see if I can find the slow leak.
 
Would photo's of certain areas/items help anyone............?

I think it would be great to have that info here somewhere.  I'm pretty sure the 705-9 was the move to side lever from bolt cocking, but that's about it.  It seems to be a pretty reliable platform in it's latest version and even a few renditions before now.  Knowing what changes have been made to the rifle over the past two/three years would prove valuable to someone contemplating a purchase.

Ordered my 705 this morning. Mike said it would be a couple of days before next shipment comes in. Can't wait to try it.

[Wayne52]

What caliber did you order Lloyd ?  It would seem like he'd still have some left yet, the one that I got was the .22 and it's one heck of a good rifle.

[Leo 2018]

It was .22 cal. He said they have been selling
 fast. Now just waiting...

[Wayne52]

I'm tempted to get the .25 Sidelever, I wonder if I'll need to wait for that.  It don't say if any are available for shipping or not   My .22 shipped really fast.

I just filled my ATI Liberty with my Sentry probe . . . works perfect, learning something new every day.

[Norcal]

I'm torn between ordering a 705HC or waiting two+ months for a Air Venturi Avenger. Regulated and a pound less weight for the same price keeps me hanging on. Maybe I'll just buy one of each

[Nvreloader]

Well guys,
I got it, (7 days from Iowa), a 25 cal Sentry 705 HC 705-9T, side lever,
3000 psi fill max, if you over fill to over 4200 psi, it will blow the burst disc,
which is located under the wooden forearm, and covered by the rear end of the plastic forearm.

Per info located in the manual, it states that you can reload/replace the pellets in the mag after firing,
upon checking the mag, I do believe that this can not happen in any way................... , that I can see.

This rifle has very beautiful dark striped wood which lots of figure, it came with a 3000 psi fill etc
now, all I can do is hold and droll all over it, as my ammo order won't be here till the 30th.
More later...............

Thank,
Don

[Wayne52]

Don the stock that's on my .22 is also a really nice one also

[Back_Roads]

I just filled my ATI Liberty with my Sentry probe . . . works perfect, learning something new every day.

Now I will have to get one just for the fill probe that fits a Liberty:) My old 702-3 is a foster fitting.

Guys

I got to snooping around with the new 705,
and in the parts bag  I found a replace burst disc for the 705 safety burst disc,
it is .004" thick and .330" in diameter, material appears to be copper or brass, just not sure,
checked some other burst disc I have and they are the same dimension, but have a .006" thick discs,
and rated for 5K.

There is several different sizes of "O" rings, along with a fill probe,
a TP seal .270" diameter x .150" thick with a .110" hole diameter,
which has 2 - "O" seals that are .260" dia x .060" thick with a .105" hole dia, on either end.

Back to more snooping drooling around on it..................
