Just one more string: Air Venturi 166 gr Semi Wadcutters:

Fill: 3000 PSI Shot 1 843.6 FPS
2 995.6
2600 3 987.1
4 975.6
2350 5 955.1
6 943.1
2000 7 924.3
1800 8 898.5

Not bad if we ignore shot 1, start at 2900 PSI, or make a valve adjustment Ha Ha!

That's about 340 ftlbs average for the string, 250 ftlbs @ 100 yards, and only about a 4" drop at 100 yards when sighted in for 80 yards

Good light weight deer killer

What bullet weight will the Texan shoot in the low-mid 900s?.... IMO that is what I would use.... providing you can find one that is accurate, of course....

For my Hayabusa, that is around 216 gr. at about 430 FPE....

Bob

These 200 gr will get to mid 900's. I know everyone is gonna scream about this but I love chootin these 166 grain HS.

Kim,

I like the looks of the 166gr on paper too. I intend to check accuracy out to 100 yards today with them, and compare the 185 and 200gr to them to see how good they really are.

Most of my work up to now was looking at the valve behavior and velocities. Now I'll play with the valve a little, and check accuracy at 100 yards. I'd be real pleased with 3-4" groupings.

Off to the range... (Backyards only good for 70 yards, and I have to put the dogs up for that)

If you are shooting the right ammo you should be able to get 1 inch groupings at 100 yards. I have only shot heavies in my Texan, 340 and 380 grains which both shot great.

I did not chrono my 340 grain but the 380 we're about 725 fps. I have left my gun at factory settings.

I need to do some testing with ammo I swaged for the Texan but my Omega compressor took a dump so I am waiting for a rebuild.

supertech77 · « **Reply #125 on:** August 15, 2015, 12:42:34 PM »

Those 340 gr should crony in at 789 average, least they did in mine.and if you play with the bullet adjuster you might get more.

rsterne · « **Reply #126 on:** August 15, 2015, 01:28:07 PM »

Looks like 4 good shots at ~350 FPE with the 166 gr. (4% ES).... Nothing wrong with that....

Nick,
I don't shoot good enough to get 1" groups, Ha Ha... I'm pretty proud of my 4" groups at 100 yards. 4" groups at 100 yards was good enough with a 50cal sniper rifle to get me an expert marksmanship ribbon in the military

nielsenammo · « **Reply #128 on:** August 15, 2015, 02:15:51 PM »

I notice my groups are better with the Texan if I hold the gun much tighter than I do my other air guns. 1 inch groups is a rested shooting position as well.

got to try the 458/385 gr bobs boat tail bullets i molded from the accurate mold spec's bob worked up.hope too next weekend,hope the camera get here before then.

Us too!

I spent yesterday at the range... I shot 166gr Air Venturis, and Mr. Hollow points 185gr at 100 yards.

The best I could achieve was about 6" groups of 3 shots. They were repeatable, using air pressures of about 2500PSI down to 2000PSI. I did have one group at about 4" using the 185gr.

I going to try again today with 200gn, and a lot more knowledge.

George if you want to try some swaged pellets I will send you some and see if your groups tighten up. I have a Texan and I make all my own custom ammo for it and many other guns too. Send me a PM and we can exchange info.

Not tried to sell any pellets. We are doing testing on pellet desings/twist/fps etc. I have sending test pellets to gather data. I am also waiting on some tooling from Corbin to complete all the punches I need. I have most but not all punches and waiting for a few more calibers to arrive as well.
