100-Yard Accuracy - AEA Challenger PRO “New” Long Barrel - 30 CAL - Part 3 of 4

[@jarroldharrell]

There is still so much the airgun community is learning. Myths about pellet speeds are starting to break as these rifles and ammo evolve in engineering. Great video Mike.

[@backyardairguns]

Thank you Jarrold. I follow all your post on social media. I hope to meet up with you one day soon.

The power accuracy and precision are next level, I've never seen pellets perform like that at sup speeds.

[@backyardairguns]

These are "magic" pellets. I've never seen that either.

Great shooting with the screen! That gun is amazing!

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks Nate! :-)

[@jerryburns22]

[@ericvergnes7624]

Very nice video and very nice rifle! I really like it and I'm thinking of buying it soon! Thanks mike 👍👍

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks for the support. There is a Gen 2 version of this rifle that is out in 30 and 35 cal. I will be doing reviews on both.

[@richardsaunders7569]

[@backyardairguns]

[@donstrength6000]

You are making me want to spend some money 😂Excellent video Mike

[@backyardairguns]

Thank you Don! This rifle is crazy accurate and powerful. There is a Gen2 version of this rifle in 30 and 357 cal. I will be reviewing those soon.

Have you played with any slugs?

[@backyardairguns]

I did a full slug review in the Challenger Pro in 25 cal. I was getting 106 fpe using the Seneca Hunting Pellet/Slug in 43g. I have not really tested slugs in this 30 cal. I think the AEA 50.5g will shoot better than the slugs in 30 cal.

[@motorgearhead]

@@backyardairguns - is that rifle a true 30 cal? Somewhere in the .300 to .303 range?

[@MikeK-k6d]

What settings on reg and hammer spring did you use?

[@backyardairguns]

I have the heavy hammer spring installed and the Reg is set to 200 Bar.

[@MikeK-k6d]

Wow. That’s pushing it :)

[@johntinglin7280]

Who supplies the custom pro barrel band?

[@backyardairguns]

I custom make and sell those for the AEA rifles. My online store is at backyardairguns.com

[@tonynooyen2423]

Is it as good with slugs

[@backyardairguns]

It is good with slugs up to about 60g.

[@HmongnewsThao]

How many shot per full 30?

[@backyardairguns]

About 30 to 40

[@motorgearhead]

130+ fpe and sub 1.5 MOA. Nothing wrong with that at all. And with pellets!!

[@backyardairguns]

These are magic pellets :-) They shoot just like a slug, and they fly straight and don't wobble.

[@motorgearhead]

@@backyardairguns - your pushing slug velocities. You’re just not gonna get the BC a slug will provide. But clearly not an issue at 100… educated guess, if you go to 200 you see things open significantly. I could be wrong and your magic pellets may still be even more magical than we know.

. 22's have been doing this for 100 years at a fraction of the cost...

[@motorgearhead]

@@Stickbow1980 - 130+ fpe?
