    If a starling lands within 75 yards on a calm day, he's taking considerable risk. I shoot off a bipod and plink at empty shotgun shells out to 80 yards with good success. I'm able to take any small...

    I have a .25 Marauder and like it. It's very good to 75 yards, which is about where I draw the line for shooting at critters. I plink at stuff out to 100. If the wind is 10 mph or less, I do ok. I'm...

    I have a .25 cal Marauder rifle and a .22 Marauder pistol, like 'em both. The rifle just would not group worth a darn with any pellet until I replaced the o-ring in the barrel band with one of larger...

    They mic at .499" / .500" length, .219 dia, and are hollow points. I borrowed an older AR6 from a friend and found that it had a 1 in 14" twist barrel as factory original. The weather isn't working...

    Twist and subsonic .22's

    I shoot air rifles and am looking for a .22 barrel that will stabilize a 44 gr .22 soft lead boolit at 1000 fps or a bit less. The online twist calculators that let you input a speed variable either...

    Pure or alloy ?

    Are you using pure lead or a soft alloy ? I bought some cast bullets which were too hard. I think I'll start with casting pure lead and see how I do.

    .177 mold ? wow, I thought .22 was borderline

    I have a .22 mold that was designed for air gun barrels but I 've never tried it yet. I understand that there were stability problems with the design of the boolit and the thinking was that it needed...
