In classic GTA spirit

[Nomadic Pirate]

So, couple weeks ago I asked if there was anyone on GTA that would be willing to make me a simple plate with holes to shave the points off the 43gr EunJin pellets.

Couple days later Craig (glassman98) PM me that he was willing to give it a try, I sent him a bunch of pellets that I shaved previously and within a few days Craig sent me back a much more elaborate jig that I was planning on,.....I asked Craig how much I owed him but in classic GTA fashion he said "nothing" not even shipping.

Thanks a bunch Craig.

So he made a block that houses 10 pellet, you put them in nose first




then screw the plate behind the skirts to seat the pellets properly.



at this point the points  of the pellets are sticking out from the opposite side



one slash with a box cutter and the extra lead is off



in no time I had a tin of 43gr EunJin done



The original 43gr Eunjin compared to the modified ones



Now the modified EunJin pellets fit perfectly the Evanix Magazine



so I can shoot them out of my Storm that has a 20" Career barrel that shoots them at 80 FPE and I can consistently shoot 3/4" groups at 50 yards,......I have a bunch of tins of them pellets and now I can take them hunting 

 




Again,

thanks a lot Craig.

WOW!!! Great job, Craig. Manny, the modified ones look better than the originals!! Good hunting.

 Looks like a nice flat head pellet, should do more damage, keep us updated !

[dan_house]

so the fit in the mag better? better BC? more shock on the target?

way cool device!

The 43gr EunJin as they come are too long for Evanix magazines

Next month I expect to see the EunJin Nomadics for sale at PA and AGD!

Great job thinking outside the box,
Craig did a great job building your pellet de-tipper.

Question for you,
How do you like that shooting rest?

I have been thinking real hard at one, that holds the butt stock solid,
since I had my Ham 850 fall off my rest and contacted the floor, needless to say, I have a new scope coming.

Tia,
Don

I don't really like it at all, much prefer to set up with bags and make it to my liking,...but this one is much easier to move and set up for a quick shoot

[Rob112o]

Glad you got that all sorted out. That is a sweet contraption put together, nice and simple craftsmanship. Awesome table too!

Well Good on Craig!    Well done Craig!!!

This a .22 Manny, Or a .25 that didn't shoot well with the factory bbl.?

The 43gr eunJin are .25s

I got a Career barrel on one of my .25s so I could shoot bullets and the 43gr Eunjins but the pellets didn't fit the mag so I was waiting for a jig like this to be able to modify them,  Will Piatt tuned this gun to shoot the 43gr at 900 fps for a flat 10 shots string and at 35 yards I actually get 20 shots on POI

The Career barrel also shoot the Baracuda well, the Benjamin Well, all the JSBs well and the Predators well,....also shoots the 52gr BBT bullet well.


This Storm .25 with the 290cc air tube the 20" Career barrel, the Will Piatt tune and the beautuful thumbhole stock it's a gun to never be sold

[KnifeMaker]

Sure sounds like a keeper to me Manny!

Did you ever get the bullets to shoot without so many flyers?

[Wayne52]

I remember you posting that thread Manny !  I'd say that Craig did a heck of a job for you on that ETSJ (Eunjin Tip Shaving Jig)

[avator]

Great idea and good on Craig...
I have the same issue with the EunJin 28.5 .22 cal. pellets not fitting the SynRod and SPA Varmint mags. I have to use the single shot tray to shoot them. What good is a magged repeater gun if it won't cycle your pellet of choice? They do cycle in the Urban.

[Bigragu]

Ingenuity! I love it. Great design, and I see a patent in the works on Craig’s end! An air rifler’s meplat trimmer, lol.

NP, try taking a lightweight ball peen hammer to the tips, should just be a wack at each pellet to flatten them. I’m curious if this would work the same as the razor blade, and if it does, you’ll still be retaining the true grain weight of each pellet.

[avator]

I'm thinking that whacking them may deform or damage the skirts.

[Nomadic Pirate]

I'm thinking to try just a pass with sandpaper on a block

[avator]

I was thinking that or a pumice rock (grinding wheel dressing stone).

[Bentong]

Good karma still outnumber the bad ones except for the porky you'll gonna smack with those lead.

[Nomadic Pirate]

Did try the sandpaper block today and didn't really save any time compared to the blade and you have to deal with lead dust, so I went back to the blade and did an other tin.
