Getting into this stuff! Love running a mag per day out of the pcp rifle. Each mag holds 17 25cal slugs and the rifle can send them down range at any speed I want, including supersonic. Was having a bad accuracy but I知 getting that sorted by casting my own.
One issue is that I have chickens so I知 not liking the idea of lead flying around in the yard where they can eat it. So I知 trying to cast my own non toxic pellets. But this presents many challenges! Did you guys know that while lead shrinks when it solidifies, tin actually grows!

For me it’s great because I live in a city, and a liberal one too. So my neighbors see me playing with my “bb gun” and don’t think a thing of it. Heck it’s so chill my chickens won’t even spook away when I’m shooting right over they heads! It’s fun!
This rifle is very elegantly made, engineered really well. There’s a few issues that aren’t ideal, like you can’t access the breech at all, and you can’t depower it So it’s not the safest thing but I don’t care.

I got a huben k1. It was a little out of my budget range. Like a LOT out but the elegance of the design and the semi auto feature lured me in. It’s a very cool rifle but it’s not as accurate as I’d like. But shooting it yesterday at 106 yd and with the right pellet I think I’ll be able to ring the 12” frying pan every time but that’s not that impressive really.

106 yards with a pellet rifle is pretty impressive.
