Bulldog modification log .328 porting and more

[PCPhack]

I am short on time to pack up and head out hunting today. I zeroed the rifle quickly and then shot 2 groups. One at 40 yards, single hole!!!  Then I shot this one at 75 yards. I could have adjusted the scope a hair more, but called it good. This is the best group so far and I was not taking my time! I really wanted to hang out to shoot more groups, but that will have to wait. I have the Pitbull moderator back on also.

NSA 178gr. 935 fps. 345 fpe.
75 yards

JSAR just listed a new heavy duty charge handle for the Bulldog!

Putting in my order!

Pitbull Airguns has them up for pre-order. They are going through coating right no

Great work, both vendors. I am sure it is no coincidence that both levers were posted up the same day.

Now, do either of them have a longer nub where the linkage attaches, so that the bolt retracts a tiny bit more than factory?

[oldpro]

 Look at where we beefed it up no nub just solid alloy.

Travis, I think what he is asking is if you made any geometric changes in the dimensions to change the movement lengths (ie: how deep the bullet seats then how far the bolt retracts) or is it dimensionally identical to the factory part

This is correct. I hoped when Travis wrote earlier that he was listening to the requests, he would pick that feature up. It would gain a few fps. I am guessing that since most people don't go quite as large on the porting they would not see the benefit, so they didn't extend it out further. If so, I can't tell from the picture.

No luck hunting. We have an extended deer season here for doe and antlerless deer. I saw 7 doe last night, but our host asked us not to take any. This morning I saw a buck, but not legal. We didn't see any hogs. The 178gr NSA slugs will have to wait.

I hope to reshoot the various NSA slugs and a few others soon to compare groups now that I have it shooting so accurately with the 178gr (higher power tune, lapped barrel, and Pitbull moderator back on).

Travis, I've gotta say that it's an awesome work of engineering on top of using a superior alloy! And we shouldn't overlook "The main pivot also has a pressed in self lubricating bronze bushing for longevity."
Thank you Travis & JSAR!

And I have to say Thank You to you too Matt! Having a second alternative for the inherently weak factory piece in steel is awesome! I'm very happy that Pitbull and JSAR are offering more options for Bulldog owners to maintain and improve our rifles!

No problem. I just don't have the equipment the businesses do or I would have done them myself. Whatever I guess. The marketing world is not for the little man. At least someone acknowledges who came up with the idea. lol

And not to forget the man who sent me my first new custom steel charging handle that should last through another shooting season and more! ShakySarge came to my rescue long before anyone brought a replacement to market!
Have you had an opportunity to use the new factory replacement handle as a template yet?

I have a couple different templates drawn out that I used it for so far. Just have not had the weather to use them while shooting. Messed with moving the linkage holes in a couple different directions to further seat the bullet/pellet with larger porting. Time will tell I suppose.

No problem, I enjoyed it while it lasted! I appreciate the thanks.

[Kinetic45^]

Yes, thanks for the one you made for me, it was a good trade!

[ShakySarge]

You're quite welcome! I just want some decent weather to shoot those slugs!
