Re: WTF is THIS ???

Greetings,

A rather high end pistol for the average "Cowboy/Plinker".

Perhaps training for the Running Target event, if it still exists.

Cheers,

Re: for pcp or co2 pistol

Greetings,

I have a Walther CP-3 (CO2) and the instructions say to keep a charged cylinder attached when not in use.

Re: best 32 for 50 yards

HN.314.0001.jpeg Greetings, Most of the Euro-Guns have 0.314" groove diameter barrels with 1:18 3/4" twist. You can get three inch groups at 50 yards with GOOD BULLETS. The best I have tested are the H&N 100 grain Greased HBWC. 1.70 grain of Bullseye works well. The test target is a P...

Re: Eley Target 22LR Ammo Problems

Greetings, Take a box and weigh each cartridge. There is somewhere near 2.0 grains of powder, if I recall. Then take the "light" ones and test fire them. Perhaps a call to the Eley distributor and ask about replacement? Or, you could do like Western Cartridge did in the 1960's with a bad l...

Re: Bevel vs flat base

Greetings, I have several moulds that are bevel base and flat base. I have recorded X-ring groups at 50 yards with both designs at 50 yards with a mechanical rest. The important factor is the quality of the bullet. If you buy "commercial cast" once they are sized/greased it is difficult, i...

Re: How to break into Olympic competitive pistol shooting

Greetings, Buy a used Air Pistol. The type that has a lever to compress the air. Feinwerkbau 65 comes to mind. There are also offering from Pardini. Even a Baikal IZH-46. Avoid the ones that require charging with SCUBA or CO2 tanks for now. Then buy some quality pellets and start shooting. It's only...

Re: Pardini HP/SP conversion Kit

The recoil springs are different.

The 32 spring has larger diameter wire and is shorter than the 22 spring.

Re: Is the Hammerli 150 a difficult pistol?

Greetings,

Buy the 150 at the "very good price".

Try it out for several months.

If you do not like it, sell it for a "very good price".

Sort of like leasing a car before you buy it.

The advantage of buying used, well cared for, equipment.

I was about your age when I started shooting competitively.

Two years later, I earned the 1979 National Collegiate Pistol Title at Camp Perry.

Re: Scuba tank setup for air pistol cylinder refills

Greetings, Since the tank will be static, no diving and carrying it around, consider a 100 CFT tank. They can be filled to 3300 PSI and you will get a lot of fillings. Also, look into a used tank at the local dive shop. Just be sure it has been Hydro tested recently; or, have it done at purchase tim...

Re: Old vs new Pardini

The older barrels are not fully heat treated , about 80 HRB, and the chambers tend to erode due to the abrasive material in the priming compound. The latest Pardini Barrels I have seen and have tested are hardened to ...

Check with your Pardini parts supplier.

Pardini does not offer parts for some of the older models.
