BT65 Elite .30cal Off To A Great Start!

[Bwalton]

Not done tuning...But I am done with the barrel work as far as accuracy goes. Will not get back to tuning till the middle of the week I have a few things that I need to ship out and work on for friends. So I will put this on hold, but wanted to see how she shoots..All I can say is unbelievable! I guess my formula pays off. I have yet to see a .30cal rifle unregulated put up groups such as these .256ctc! I had to shoot two more consecutive groups to back it up and make sure that I was not dreaming.
I was not able to get onto the big range because there were PB over there shooting. So I had to settle for the 50yard range, which continue to be a non- challenge for the Hatsan platform. Just a side note: Do not expect this type of performance out the box. This is what they are capable of with a little tweaking, not to be confused with twerking ha ha ha...  Video editing coming soon.

Awesome! That thing is really going to shine at long range on pests!

Sounds like a keeper, Baxter.

Baxter ,not to pester but have you got a magazine depth measurement ? I may have found a way to get my hands on a carnivore . If the magazine isn't long enough I'll pass and wait for something else to be available up here in Canada (Slayer).thanks

[Prouzy]

I had a feeling you would have great success with it!

Thanks Dave...If only Hatsan would listen They would just have to make a few changes and they would be there, I do not know who does their R&D or testing but it is what it is...

[dcorvino]

Your welcome Baxter.
I do have a question have you patented the Baxteraztion process yet lol
Hatsan should listen to you you. You do a great job with their rifles

Dave

[Bwalton]

Not only me, but a host of guys can do the power mods not sure if they know the key to the accuracy part though

[dcorvino]

Well my friend if I do purchase a Hatsan product I will be sending it to you.
And something tells me our friend Joe would do the same.( don't tell Joe I said that LOL)
Have a great night Sir

Dave

[Monkeydad1969]

Don't tell Joe what?

Very, very nice Baxter. This is how it should be done and it's good to see someone taking it upon himself to show everyone how it can be done.

Maximum respect to you sir.

Baxter, just a heads up, but don't try to get to 950 fps with the 50 gr JSB's. The grooves aren't deep enough to keep the pellets engaged, so no rifling marks at all. 1-1/2" groups at 50 yards, which is a major disappointment! Norm and I had high hopes for the 14 shots at 100 FPE with them... I'll detune to 900 fps and see what happens...

How large is the plenum on the regulator you are trying?

[dcorvino]

Don't tell Joe what?

Oh  Joe
Relax there is no conspiracy against you (that you know about)
Just because there are a few sightings of pdogs with questionable items.( see photo below)
Now back your question.
I said if you or me bought a hatsan we would send it to Baxter to tune it for us.
And don't tell joe I said that because I don't want my good buddy Joe thinking I gave up on the big bore Sumatra goal
That's all Sir
Now I am going down to the rec room at the shady rest nursing home to eat apple sauce and watch Lawrence Welk lol

Thanks for that I have not put the reg in as of yet,  right now I am at the stage that you were when you had to go back into a create some lift. I stop at that point to test the accuracy seeing that I would not be able to finish for a few days. I was going to keep it @ 930fps which the JSB's love that speed. I think that the pellets just need a larger head size on them, I measured them to be small some .299 and .300 Maybe the Daystate would work better they might be a tad larger.

Thanks Baxter. That seems a little on the short side for a long range .257 bullet shooter.ill have to look into the ammo available a little bit more before I take the plunge.thanks again.
