(Reason for this is I've got a Savage 12 LRP in .243Win - but Savage put a 9.25:1 twist on the barrel . . . so my preferance of 105-grain Hornady HPBT won't fully stabilize until I'm 10,000 feet above sea level . . . or drop to a 90-grain Lapua Scenar-L - at 50-cents a pop.) Berger 90 HPBT's? Or Si...

This effect is probably closely related to the downward spiral noted in the previous comments: if the entire sport is focused on the top 0.1%, then everyone has to compare themselves to that 0.1%. If you can somehow increase the number of participants, then suddenly you have a broader spectrum of c...

... prevents the firing pin from striking the breechface of the barrel.! As for the firing pin striking the breechface, that's only a problem on poorly designed guns. To be more specific, it's a problem with any rimfire gun that does not have a limited (or sufficiently limited) firing pin travel. M...

Check the frame for cracks too. Really, you're talking about a an outdated, no longer supported .22 target pistol, of which there were relatively few made. Something as simple as a broken firing pin or extractor might require custom making a replacement. I have both an SP and HP (.22 and .32SWL, re...

Not air related, but:

CBTO - Case (or cartridge) base to ogive
BBTO - Bullet base to ogive

FTE - Failure to eject
FTF - Failure to fire (also Failure to feed, unfortunately)

I did completely bleed a 3/4 full Scuba thru a cotton T-shirt looking for oil - NONE! That doesn't surprise me. If there was that much contaminant in breathing air, you'd have dead guys popping up all over the water. FWIW, the silicone grease (clear) I use on my Hill pump is black by the time it sc...

I have a fairly early HP; Pardini told me their spare parts kit works with it. From that I would assume the spring has not changed.

Call Penn Bullets (in PA). They will make 32 S&W Long cast bullets in just about any diameter you want. Dardas Cast Bullets has, (as I recall) .312, .313, and .314 as standard, will likely (this is a guess) size to whatever you need. They also offer instructions and evaluation of barrel slugs s...

I've got an OSP myself, and around 6,000 rounds of R25...but when that's shot up, finding more ammunition will be a PITA. Might be difficult, but doesn't seem like it's impossible: https://www.targetsportsusa.com/22-short-ammo-c-199.aspx https://www.luckygunner.com/rimfire/22-short-ammo https://amm...

Its the case rim which is getting a slight dent on all of the mis-fires. I suspect it's happening on all the rounds, but the fired rounds iron the dent back out as the bullet leaves. How does the round hang up? Jammed between ramp and bolt face? Bolt rides over the round? Jammed between the top of ...

Here's a younger version:

I picked up a couple hundred rounds- I will save the brass...lol

I broke down and purchased a bunch of 32SWL brass from Starline. Not so worried about losing that odd piece of brass now (though the extent I go to to find lost pieces may belie that...)

If you bought your 65 in the 80's from Beeman, it's got two mainsprings and is rated around 510-525 fps... I bought mine from the Beeman shop in Mountain View, CA (or a neighboring city - don't recall the address now) in the mid-80's. I dropped out of shooting for about 30 years, and within the pas...

I will definitely look at the local dive shops as I've already murdered the wallet with this pistol. Tell the shop that you want a dive cylinder/valve, and something that will let you screw in a DIN fitting (which is what the end of your adaptor will be.) There are 200 and 300 bar DIN fittings, but...

Domino became FAS, I think. Might be a place to start.

Shouldn't need to limit yourself to Italy, as the EU is still (sort of) in business. Depends on where you can find spares though.

Glue sandpaper to the grip? Easy to remove if it doesn't work out, and available in different pain levels.

Tried CCI SV in my Toz; it often had to be pushed in from about half way seated. Doesn't normally eject well. Wolf seats much further, ejection varies. Aguila (something or other - I lost track of all their different ammo) seats nearly all the way and ejects well about 95% of the time. Try different...

I think my FWB 65 chrono'ed around 430 fps or so.

Morini was right at 500.
