[@bigsword1957]

Thank you Mr. Hollowpoint fine job.

[@michaelabraham9177]

Your testing is always done with a very thorough selection of bullet weights. No one else tests this way, and I appreciate that you do.

[@paulsonja66]

Thanks Mr H. Many of us have been waiting for this video and we appreciate it ! I can’t wait for the next one. MAN I HOPE THE 300s GROUP GREAT ! I know they are running a little high but I can hope.

I just bought this wonderful bullpup from Mr. Hollowpoint! Yippee!

[@richiebrown9623]

I have the 30 cal bullpup with the 32 inch barrel and love it. Our season is about to start but I will be getting that 50 cal next year some time. Great info.

Icant wait to get mine I pre ordered,

[@lindseyzacek5211]

How do you like your aea 50 cal so far any problems out of it.. mine's been wonderful just a work of art

[@Scott-cu4ol]

I bought one yesterday from Terry Fox but i didn’t realize it weighed 13 pounds!!😳. If i had know that i would have bought the zeus. does is come with pre drilled sling stud holes?? A sling will be a must!

[@gregmcb5305]

Man I can’t wait till the pre order .357comes out they still haven’t gotten to those yet I guess. Have you done any experiments with powder coating your slugs?

[@lindseyzacek5211]

Powder coating can be a lifesaver in the air gun world sometimes stuff just don't fit but you want it to so you powder coat then size.. just like Lehigh fractioning ammo beautiful copper rounds but they're undersized and copper so they must be coated to not affect the barrel

[@robertchapel2245]

I thought this was going to be power testing….where are the stats?

[@richoperezinho7215]

hi i just bought the aea .457 bullpup,. It shoots 520 foot pounds, from what I understand it would be enough to kill a press of up to 500 kg. Is that the measurement? foot pounds equals the kilos you can drop.? obviously hitting a vital area

[@matthewvannoy2414]

Thanks and God bless

[@yunielalfonso773]

Big question the Aea challenger bullpup 50cal barrel size is from 495 to 498 diameter.you have found any mold that fit slugs perfect in the barrel

[@briandechant972]

NOE bullet molds . Fits my 50cal HP MAX.

[@beastmode2990]

This aea 50 cal or the 50 cal hammer? What is your opinion

[@easierplay9866]

Is it possible to shoot minie round with it ?an can anyone say the best ones for this gun

[@gregmcb5305]

Have you tried putting a .357 barrel on your 50cal so that the .357 shoots 6 really big shots? Also do you have a recommendation on a depinger for this?

[@000martin2]

@@lindseyzacek5211 would u mind explaining that ? Is it like a sleeve over the .357 slug ?

[@heathhalfhill6867]

I think I just found my perfect PCP for hunting whitetail. thanks bud. God bless pure awesome brother! I'll bet the can on the end of that 30" barrel will have to be huge to help quiet this gun?

[@gregmcb5305]

I would get a really big can haha With the future upgrades tits only gonna get louder ...

[@asherr5966]

Wonder how much the .45 differs.

[@johnmajka5404]

It's got 93% the power of the 50 caliber.

[@asherr5966]

@@johnmajka5404 oddly specific but good to know👍

[@johnmajka5404]

@@asherr5966 I watched the video, the owner of AEA USA, put out about the 50 & 45 Challenger. He said, the 45 has 93% of the 50's power. He also said with a barrel & pin, you can swap between 357-45 & 50 caliber. I pre ordered the New 32" barrel 357 BIG 9 Challenger. Im reading reports of over 400fpe. 👍

[@lindseyzacek5211]

@@johnmajka5404 I'm sorry but I don't think the big nine is getting 400 foot pounds.. 50 Challenger is only getting 400 without dropping some serious lead in it.

[@johnmajka5404]

@@lindseyzacek5211 No it’s not, it’s more like 325FPE

[@ShootTechSysteminc]

I guess this gun is a sample gun, because AEA once said that the magazine depth of the sample gun is. 59” （15MM）。but The official product is deepened to. 71”(18MM).

[@gregmcb5305]

Thank god! What about the .357?

[@ebr-fan1117]

This is the one thing I found odd about this particular magazine in the video. Maybe it wasn't machined to The correct depth? The breech/magazine well looks to be the same width which would be 0.860" The AEA 457 Challenger Bullpup has a magazine depth of 0.710" (specs off the internet.)

[@johnmajka5404]

I just got my shipping notification, on the 357cal Challenger BIG 9 32" barrel. I hope the mag depth, is the same for the 357 as it is for the 45 & 50cal. I would assume so, since the calibers are exchangeable. I ordered a 4 cavity 357cal NOE 145gr HP mould with a G1 BC .210. At 1000fps, If this slug is accurate, it will be devastating on deer & hogs, & offer excellent long range ballistics.

[@gregmcb5305]

@@johnmajka5404 i would go with a heavier slug to keep it under 950Fps for accuracy and sound. just picked up some normal 9mm slugs to test. There 356 but supper heavy. Im going to contact the company to see if they can make specialty ones in 357 for me. The price isn’t too bad either at 10c each although I’m pretty sure it’s a harder lead alloy although I could be wrong regardless it should still be fine to shoot. I’m hoping I can find some 250grain .357 soon that would be so nice!

[@ShootTechSysteminc]

@@johnmajka5404 big version.357 have same magazine depth as .457 and .50

The 330 looks like it would be the best

WTH? The manufacturer says it holds 3600 psi.

Must be a typo, it's 4500

​@@eviththompson8496 Bin on sig shooter channel. Explains that that's all he can recommend as he is the rep and service guy for the manufacturer. It's kind of a wink wink as he says other people fill it higher. At one point he even says you can do it if you want. So it's just lawyer stuff.
