Ok, I never heard of villosity, so checking the definition, yes it did change.
And lacking desire to have numerical answer, refer you back to about as wet brass going into a sizing die.

I can't say anything bad about Pyramyd air. They are top notch. They will talk to you on the phone. Might cost a bit more than some others, but the service and packaging are very good.

I have to agree with Don Verna's post #2.
But had to try it out to come to his conclusion.
I bought a NOE 25 caliber mold, cleaned, and seasoned it, then after 4 break-in sessions started shooting...

I just don't believe it.
All your posts about your quality springers and now a PCP!
Randy you have fallen into a deep quagmire.
Welcome.

Welcome to the forum!
NOE makes good molds. The only source for new that I know of is NOEbulletmolds. I have done some casting with a NOE .25 caliber mold, but don't bother after trying JSB Hades...

Good looking die. Making a die gives you ideas on making the next on better.
I need to get back to the lathe and make some too.
Forum: Swaging
Big Jake and Delta enterprises comments are good.
I just think if you have a lathe you will learn something every time you use it.
If your first shot at making a die does not work out, using a...

Your bore might be .220-.221, with a bit of spring back the jackets might measure .222-.223.
The pin around .190-.195. I would make the punch (pin) out of 1144.
A die made of 1144 may not be the...

How long have been waiting for this rifle?

You have done well making swage dies, I think you will do well with this project too.
I can't off any advice as it would be pure speculation.

I bought a used JSAR Raptor, the rifle has a .177 barrel with no choke suitable for slugs. The former owner tuned it for Nielsen 12.5 grain slugs.
I bought Nielsen 15 grain hollow point slugs.

Questions like that are more likely answered on a forum like GTA (gateway to air guns)
Lots of technical info, and engineers who build and modify air guns there.

Search USS Vesuvius. A small warship that served in the Spanish American war.
She had two air guns, charged by on board compressors.
Projectiles were pretty much kegs of dynamite.
She did shell...

JSB king Domed 25.43 grain .25 caliber are a standard that most guns shoot well.
Never fired any in a gauntlet, but they work in a marauder I once had, and currently they shoot well in a matador.

I have not shot any of your chosen pellets.
I have had good luck with JSB hades pellets launched around 900 fps. the little triangles on the nose kinda fold out and make three cutters spiraling...

Once you solve the air supply, PCP gets even better.
I did it all wrong.
Started with a 25 cal and hand pump...the 25 uses a lot of air.
Bought a large tank, fire department filled it for free,...
Forum: AirGuns
There are some resonably priced compressors that just fill the gun, no cooling system. So you would overheat them filling a big tank. They are portable, 12 volt, with 120 v converters too.
