Bob those Hunter Magnum's are more accurate at 70 yards than the Hunters are for sure.  They're a longer pellet.

Wayne - is this in reference to shooting them out of the 705 ??

I'm sure that my 705-9K would shoot them great, it actually has about the same twist as my Airmax Dominator does and shoots just as accurately.  Basically now I shoot slugs only out of both guns now.

Wayne,  Are you saying hold out for the Magnums to be restocked?  At 59gr the Magnums are fairly heavy for a PCP and a flat trajectory.  The 46gr Hunters are lighter, so a better trajectory speed for most magnum guns.  If I go with the Hunters, I may fall a little short of my 100 FPE goal in .30 cal as the gun would have to sling them at 990 FPS.  I'm sure the Impact could probably handle that, but might be near max and might be unstable for best accuracy?  I'd be ok at 85 to 90 FPE too in .30 cal, if that's the case.


I hope NOE is working on restocking the 34gr .25 cal molds....

Keith, I think Wayne is saying he prefers the .22 cal Magnums over the Hunters.... You need a lot of power to utilize the .30 cal Magnums, and the .30 cal Hunters are a great pellet, in either the lightest or medium weight versions (46-48 gr.)....

Hey, thanks Bob!  Do you happen to know if the Hunters come with the swappable pins like the Magnums do?  There's no mention of those for the Hunters.  My thinking is that I could lose the HB for more weight if needed with the Hunters.

trigger,
i'm pretty sure that they must come with the swappable pins. i know my .250-27-rf cc3 has 4 sets of pins total on my hunter mold.

Thanks!  That's my assumption, too.  I went for the 300-46-RF-CC4 4 Cavity RG4 HB Brass.  It's not a slug, which many are now focused on, but I don't shoot past 100 yards normally, and within 50 yards typically, plus I don't have a slug liner.  So, a good fit for now.  Hopefully they are lasers.


I also picked up a .22 cal push rod to see if it would be a better fit for sizing them.  My .25 and .30 push rods are close, but not a perfect fit to not disturb the skirts in any way.

All the NOE pellet moulds come with 4 sets of base pins.... I have tried all the flat base pins (no base cavity) and not one shoots in any of my guns.... The shallowest base pin is iffy, it isn't the best in any of my guns, in any caliber, but not bad in some.... Either the deepest pin, or the middle one, shoots the best in every caliber I have tried, in any of the NOE pellets.... Since the shape remains the same, I would guess that the CG position is what makes the difference in the accuracy....

I also found that the flat base shot a bit slower than I would expect based on their weight alone.... I suspect that the skirt cannot collapse on loading, so they are a bit tighter fit.... Interestingly, the BC of the NOE pellets is better than the JSBs of similar weight, in the calibers I have tested so far.... 

I have never tried sizing them, I have shot them all as cast.... They are designed with the head to fit the bore, and the skirt larger, just like JSBs....

Thanks Bob for the pin and base info.  I will certainly try them un-sized...That would be nice.

Keith I see by your signature that you have 30 cal FX and my guess is that the "Hunter" design will more than likely shoot good from that gun.  They're very accurate in my .22's and .25's doing in the mid to high 800fps range, I think the "Magnum Hunter's" are a pellet that's going to work good in the low to mid 900fps range and keep a flat trajectory.  My 25 cal hunters (26g) shoot very comparable to how the JSB25.39g shoot.  One thing for sure about casting your own is you can "FIRE" the pellet vendor's for good.  It's been well over two years since I've payed for pellets or slugs and am loving it.  Buying pure lead is a heck of a lot cheaper than buying commercial pellets or slugs and you never have to be concerned as to whether or not you can get them.

Thanks Wayne!  Yes, the only .30 cal I have is the FX liner. 

It's not so much about not buying pellets, but the joy of having full control for me. I don't know if I'll shot the .30 cal enough to justify the cost or not, but I won't ever run out.  I've got 50 lbs. of pure lead on standby and reclaim a lot of the lead I shoot.  I also have eight tins of the JSB .30 cals at the ready to compare this barrel and cast to.

I went all out and got the 4 cavity brass mold.  Primarily got the brass because of all of your GTA comments about them.  I did like the price of the aluminum one better though, lol.  I think the brass will stay hotter longer and will be less of a fight for me to get good cast.  The three aluminum molds I have worked with tend to cool down quicker than I would like, which cost me casting time.  I'm looking forward to giving the brass a try.

For the life of me I do not know why I am posting here, just another Rabbit-hole to fall into.

Oh wait a minute...
NOW I remember...

It's Wayne's fault. 

He traded me a tin of these 217-24-RF pellets for some Xisico Sentry bits and they shoot AMAZING!
I have tried them in my AA S400 and my Maximus with excellent groups in the past, but I just came in from shooting my XS60-C and DANG!
 It is hot out already and the XS60-C was shooting STRONG on a bulk fill so I thought what the heck, and grabbed the tin of "Magnum Hunters".
The trajectory is the same if not better than the JSB 18g's.... And the sound on the pieces of 2x4 Steel box tubing is IMPRESSIVE!
 Couple clicks up and I am getting great groups right on the Bullseye.

 Now I find myself researching this Gate that I have never been in.
Thanks WAYNE!

Wayne has a way of doing that.

gotta watch that Wayne guy . . . his hunting videos convinced me to order a Sentry 705 last week . . . and his slug-shooting episodes has been working on me, too . . .

It was just a shot in the dark...You never know.  I have a NOE mold on the way, and yes I am on the NOE email list.  I'm probably getting close to the club status by now.

[Back_Roads]

 If I am not confused  The 1000 club gets you 10% off all purchases  Think that was what I saw last order I placed.
