New big bore fan with a couple questions

[kamora187]

Ok, got the Dragons mixed up

Marvin,
Can you shoot reload bullets? Like you would get at Cabelas or other rifle reloading shops?


Travis

You need to stay with a soft cast bullet with the Korean rifles . 5-8 BHN is about all they will shoot accurately . Marvin

[Nomadic Pirate]

You wont find Cheaper and better bullet for the 909 than the EPP/UG from Dash caliber

[lloyd-ss]

I've had some good results with the EPP/UGs from dash, too, in other guns.  They only weigh a few grains more than a round ball, so you will get max velocity .

I will be ordering some tonight, thanks guys! Manny, so you use the Hill pump right, I would guess that you start pumping while there is still 2k psi left, how many pumps does it take to top it off, roughly? I am still thinking about getting a pump to complement the scuba tank.

Thanks,
Travis

[Nomadic Pirate]

I usually shoot my guns down to 100 BAR, to take the 909s from 100 to 200 BAR is a piece of cake, can't remember the number of strokes, but it wasn't much at all

[kamora187]

Manny it looked like you had several pumps, might one be the Air Venturi G4? Wondering how it compares to the Hill MK3?

Thanks,
Travis

[kamora187]

Just opened the box, the 909s looks pretty nice. It came with 1500psi in the reservoir so of course I had to take my first shot. I used 2 block archery targets as a backstop and it cleared the first and went 3" into the second. WOW, cant imagine what it will be like with a full fill. I pick my tank up tomorrow and will be at the range tomorrow afternoon if all works out with my schedule. I appreciate all of your guys help and will keep you posted on how things go.

Pics or it didn't happen!

[kamora187]

hahaha, ok here it is
Hopefully I will get to shoot it in the next couple days, I am hoping for tomorrow afternoon!

Travis

[Nomadic Pirate]

what ammo do you have for it ?

[Rescue35]

Nice, Hopefully I'll get to shot mine over the next couple of days too, Other than to eat turkey I'll be in the woods.

Great looking rifle, you are going to love it if you don't already. Hope you find time to put some lead down range soon. Keep us updated on ow you like it.

[kamora187]

Thanks, I really like it and will try to get out either today or this weekend. Rescue are you hunting with your Dragon while you are in the woods? Manny, I got a box of Hornady .45 Cal, 143 Grains, Lead Round Balls. I also orders some of the EPP/UGs from Loren. Manny, I noticed in one of your pics that you have 3 different kinds of hand pump, does the hill MK3 blow away the air venturi G4? (pun intended) I found a G4 online for $100 less than the MK3 but was not sure if they were close or no contest?
Thanks guys!
Travis

[Nomadic Pirate]

They are both effective, the difference will be when you go open them up, The G4 will have rust inside the Hill wont, I would buy the Hill.

[kamora187]

ok, thanks just wanted to make sure. I appreciate the info.

[kamora187]

So when filling the 909 it looks like the gauge is x10kgf/cm2, so 200bar would be right around the 20 marking on the gauge right?
Just confirming!

Thanks,
Travis

[Nomadic Pirate]

Never use the Gauges in the guns, allways use the one in your pump or tank.

Gauges in guns can be off by miles sometimes, do not rely on them, allway the filling device Gauge should be used.


Sorry for repeting myself

[kamora187]

Ok cool, thanks for pointing that out!

A buddy of mine told me there was no way in h*ll he'd ever pay that much for a "BB gun".
Then he shot my 909. The big bore PCPs will definitely change your way of thinking about air guns. I would have bought a 909S if it had been available at the time, but it wasn't. So I got the 2 tube version. Not that I'm complaining. I love it. I need to get it tuned. I put a Foster QD fitting from BGMF airguns in mine. It beats the heck out of the fill probe. No leaking fill probe O-rings.
I've thought about shooting .40 caliber hollow points with .45 caliber sabots.

[kamora187]

Hey Jaymo,
I cannot wait to get mine out and sling some lead, I will be ordering a scope for it tomorrow, probably the leapers bug buster 3x9. I like the small size of the scope and think it will work well with the gun.
