Newby on the block... well, to casting anyways.

Yeah, that's probably because her grand children caused her to turn over in her grave way too many times.

Casting airgun pellets/slugs is a hobby in itself, I've been restraining myself from buying guns just to see how they'll shoot in them, that Hatsun Jet I've
been looking at way too much, looks like it could be a lot of fun too.  I think it's probably a better gun than those SPA PP750's are

Wayne, never held a Jet but, SCulbert and his wife visited our home a few weeks ago and he had a NOTOS with him. I didn't shoot it but I was really impressed with the quality feel of the gun. It absolutely did not feel like a plastic toy kinda gun.
I'm actually glad I did not shoot it... last thing I need is another gun.

You have unlimited air, unlimited ammo, why not unlimited airguns.

Probably has something to do with the lack of unlimited cash flow and very limited patience on Betty Lou's part.

Kinda like visiting those beaches down your way... "You can look but don't touch".

Do you want a pistol or carbine?

[Wayne52]

Matt if I did buy one it would be for using it as a pistol.

The jet would be better suited for that roll right out of the box in my opinion then. That's why I bought mine.

[Wayne52]

Matt they're not that expensive either and I think you can fill them without a probe also

The Jets come with a female foster fitting as the male fitting is larger than the standard fosters. They do have some potential, the heavier the ammo the more power, up to 60 gr for my .25..

[Wayne52]

would a double male work connected to a standard whip then?

No it really is best to replace with a standard male foster on the gun or put one on the supplied female. The supplied female is threaded.

Hatsan's always did have a goofy setup if you ask me.

Got the pot heating up.. Gonna drop some of the new to me brass 2 cav 217-20-RF HB MePlats.
Gonna use the long pin/lightest pellet.
They ran 20 - 20.20 last time I dropped them. I cleaned up the mold a bit and adjusted the pins slightly and I'm going to try getting the mold hotter than last time. I was getting hairs and some mold lines.
I think I'm going to take a suggestion from another member/caster and pick up a rock tumbler.

I know I'm getting way ahead of myself but I was watching videos on swagging. It's not really out of the realm of the Red Shed possibilites. Swagging opens up new options for pellet choices.
Idle minds can be dangerous..   

[Insanity]

Swaging dies are expensive but probably the best option for consistency.

[Wayne52]

I've got that same mold Bill, had for quite a while now, it's a great 2 cavity mold IMO.

[Wayne52]

When Stephen started his swaging business(AVS) he had  3grand invested to begin with and that was for slugs for the Liberty.  He's been selling all different calibers on ebay but I think all he's doing are slugs
