Well, I said I wasn't going to get one, but I caved and re-ordered. Should be here tomorrow.

I can't help but wonder...I've seen where several people have said the Texan kicks. I can't imagine it kicks much, right? Certainly not as much as my 30-30. Is it about like a .22WMR or a .223? Less? More? Just wondering because I'm not sure what scope to put on it.

Also, will regular 230 grain .45 slugs work in it? If not, can someone direct me to a website where I can order some good pellets/bullets? I ordered some of the Air Venturi stuff, but I'd like a bit of variety to play with.

Yes they work fine. I ordered 1000 from Sinclairintl.com 100-012-828WS (In Stock)
Cast Lead Bullets, 45 CAL (.452") 230 GR RN .............1000 rounds were $104.98 Not bad for plinking testing and such. Acyually not a bad round for accuracy either. Still doing tests, and time has NOT been on my side.

I thought Texan shoots .457 diameter bullet?

MJP · « **Reply #191 on:** September 03, 2015, 02:07:23 AM »

Yeah, atleast that is what is on af website 34 inch .457 LW barrel.

rickjoe11 · « **Reply #192 on:** September 03, 2015, 07:38:58 AM »

That's true, it IS chambered at .457...but in the testing of the lead I have on hand it has shot the .457, .454, AND the .452's very well. Granted the .452 is not a snug fit, but shoots groups I can't argue with.
Heck, my 909 is chambered at .454 but shoots .457 best and most accurate...........go figure?

rintafile · « **Reply #193 on:** September 03, 2015, 09:15:39 AM »

Well that is what makes these airguns interested. You never know until You try Your self...

My local WM sells boxes of .452 FMJ slugs for reloading. They aren't expensive, either. Think I'll grab a box just to test them out.

I still want to get some of the .457 pellets from nielson, though.

I will post when I get my die back. I sent back to get an adjustment, too tight of a fit. Should have next week.

Well You can try but what I've been heard those FMJ bullets won't work on airguns

Oh, right. The ones the guy was talking about earlier probably weren't FMJ....

How a about some pictures of this much talked airgun. 9 page and no pictures...Is this some big secret Thanks

Thought I would post a pic of my Texan. I have been shooting it with a Hawke 6.5-20x44 and just mounted a 8-32x56 Hawke Sidewinder. Have not shot with the new scope yet, I plan on some longer range testing and I want a bit more zoom to do it with.

We are doing some 100 and possibly 150 yard testing if my shooting skills will cooperate.

supertech77 · « **Reply #199 on:** September 03, 2015, 07:54:19 PM »

my Texan loose,s a lot of fps with the 457 roundball, but shoots everything else well,even 452,255 gr,and for a scope i use a 4x16x50 ffp vector paladin scope with side focus, i love it,i think if you use unsized pure lead 45 cal bullets,they just work well, and my 909 is most accurate with 457 too,its only pushing 400 fps,but is a whole lot louder than and kicks harder than does the Texan at 500 fpe.i bet that nice setup you got there with the 8x32x56mm hawke scope on your Texan will reach out there a ways,for sure,let us know how it works out,

Thank you to our advertisers!
