My Bullpup loves the 21gn Cudas but unfortunately don't have a P-Rifle yet.

Might have the same barrel.

Using the 5.52s or the regular cudas?

Gonna try the BHunters whenever they arrive in my next ammo order.

Mine are the regular Cudas.

My moderator from Red Corn Outdoors came in today, a perfect fit! Still waiting for adapter to arrive to use 1/2x20UNF, but M14x1 works perfectly. So... I took it out to do my first power, accuracy, shot count test. 51 shots, from 250 bar down to 125/130 bar, 48 of those on the regulator. The first shot was lowest, the gun may have been slightly overfilled to cause this.
JTS Dead Center 18.1gr pellets:
51 shots; Avg FPS 841; ES 73.34; SD 12.88; 28.4 FPE
Remove first and last 3 shots and ES drops to 33.81.
Did "magazine groups" of 10. Scope adjustments after group 1 and 2. Lot of me factor, despite rest, but still decent groups. Then I went in for dinner before I got in more trouble. Also think hammer adjustment needed.

Mine leveled out just shooting it a couple hundred times

The bottom of the tin isn't starting to appear yet, so I guess I have a ways to go yet. I do think I'm over 100 now at least. 🤔🤷 Time to try some others anyway, see where the rifle says it wants to continue.

That makes 3 people reporting high shot count and power with 18 gr.

I found that reducing my hammer spring force by turning the adjuster out 2 to 2.5 turns tightened up the ES and gave more shots. With 14 gr this meant 44 shots and 17 ES around 23 fpe. With 18 gr, I've only done the first ten and last ten shots of a 50 shot string. That got me 28 fpe and a 30 ES, however with the one oddball shot taken out the ES was around 20.

I've nicknamed my p-rifle: "the barrel bandit".

So far so good with the shroud removed, barrel band installed, and a standard thread rocker 1 moderator.

Oh, and 18ish gr pellets [smile and a mischievous wink].

I took the LDC off my P-Tact and put it on my P-Carbine. Will adapt the P-Tact to something else

Has anyone attached sling studs yet?

smythsg · « **Reply #130 on:** March 21, 2025, 12:01:12 PM »

I started to yesterday (wind gusts to 45 mph so no shooting) but decided on a different approach for a sling. It uses one of the "Wrap It" velcro hangers and the lower strap from my gun case to form a two point style sling carrying the rifle in front pointed down. Easy to put on and take off and no modifications to the rifle. I haven't tested in in the woods yet, but works fine in the yard so far.

Rion, I just realized that you were referencing the P-Rifle, not the Pup for your question about sling studs. Sorry, senior moment...

No worries! The bullpup is also a sling quandary. One you've solved!

The slope of the p-rifle stock has me reluctant to sling stud it and thereby ruin the elegant form. However, I imagine wanting a sling for a day in the woods or any hike.

Anybody sling their p-rifle or have any thoughts?

Scabbard

splitbeing · « **Reply #134 on:** March 21, 2025, 03:59:28 PM »

Now that's an idea! Would work for my r7 too (another rifle I'm reluctant to put studs in). Interestingly, they're about the same size! Wasn't expecting that when I ordered the p-rifle!

Is there an inexpensive scabbard you recommend for these small rifles?

This is the one I have, I added padding from a crossbow sling to mine. Pick your colors

Thanks, James. Do you have the 28 in or 34 in?

Back_Roads · « **Reply #137 on:** March 22, 2025, 10:38:16 AM »

I have 2 of the 28" my PP750 with longer barrel is about the same fit as the P-Rifle. I also have a shotgun length one more of a back pack style for my big bores.

Continuing to get a low 1st shot per fill, but have now also run Norma 17.6gr and CPHP 14.3s. Looks like 57 or so shots on the reg today with CPHP, and 81 shots got me from 250 to 75 bar, full span of the green. 60 shots of Norma got me to 100-110bar range.

I plinked with shots 51-81 today, hitting bell at about 45-50 yards consistently, as well as can bottoms, despite 10mph+ winds. I used the same zero at 50 as 25. Also no issue hitting 3in swinging target at 25 yards during that time.

Not to be mean or nothing but, wouldn't it be fun to make the NUAH club with one of these $200 guns? I bet that wouldn't set well with the big spenders.
