Hammer time!

Hammerli Pneuma, that is, and any other variant of the renown Hatsan AT44 PCP. Sing out guys. So far I've found that my rifle does  not like the H&N FTTs 14.66 grains, with the 5.54 head diameter or the CPHPs from the tin (sprays these badly). Tried some JSB 15.9, and 18.1 and those did very well. This is a hot rifle. Putting those FTTs across a chronograph, I saw 973FPS, and this was on the second magazine. On that magazine my average FPS dropped to 943 FPS. I'm OK with it. The rifle is also quite loud. I have two videos to offer here. One demonstrates the sound level without the lead dust collector, and the other demonstrates how muted the sound level is,even while the dust collector is doing it's intended function.
Pneuma, no LDC:
 

Pneuma with the dust collector in place:

A couple of questions Darryl.....

1. Who makes that LDC?
2. Do you have any more close ups of that Shooting Bench?
That bench is cool, homemade, and knocks down. Got a plan for that baby,
I'd like to duplicate it. Thanks.

The LDC is from Neil Clague, and it screws on to the end of the barrel. Here is a link to the plans (sorry, I don't have any close-ups beyond what you see in the video). I helped take the bench down, and it's a breeze to do. The link:

Oh, with that LDC the shooter really only hears the "TING!" of the striker hitting the valve; it drowns out the muzzle report when you're sitting behind it.
