357 Western Rattler Part 2

Here is the 2nd half of the video, picking up where i left off, starting with the 150 grain and moving on to the 173 grain.
Lots of lead and air and fun.

Pure Awesome, just sayin howdy... Keep up the good work

[@davidstoops3943]

Thanks for the testing of the .357 Rattler. How many clicks can this gun go? Is 40 the max?

[@vasilysh7558]

Thanks, very interesting.

[@gideonpuakaa9130]

this gun is so powerful

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

Great video. I have a question pertaining to press fitting slugs. I press fit the FX hybrids in the mag of my .357 rattler, and it would not shoot out. Is there some thing I can do about that? Thank.

[@tjwrongwaymead8374]

I'm still trying to decide. The s45 just because it's a novelty beast. Or spend some money on the rattler. I have 6 or 8 other 35's that won't break the 900 mark. Rattler looks like a serious "FX" caliber weapon. I am sure Mr. Nugent will dig it

[@user-fr7xy2bt4f]

S45 is garbage. All AEA is subpar to western. Had a a45 sent it right back. Element max leaking in 2 weeks. All junk. Hard to get parts usually

[@sambaaxe]

I wonder what you would get it you went 40 clicks and upped the reg pressure?

[@scottmcauley5781]

You should try 37 clicks for the 173

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

Ahhh , is the Stooges a blanket?

[@user-sv2jh5ez3t]

Did you try the full auto..., and a 457 too!

[@proTscape]

Need accuracy results at 60 and 100 yds plz. Looks like 150's are producing the highest fpe.

[@royweatherford64]

I can tell you from experience there extremely accurate

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

I know your trying to get them in the Mag. using. 357 diameter but the TJ barrel calls for .358 diameter.

[@GregoryMcBride-qf7hx]

You have to try some copper slugs!

[@motorgearhead]

Copper may not give good results. Copper will induce additional barrel drag and lower velocity. I’ve seen people test copper and loose close to 50% velocity vs lead. I can see a difference between powder coated and plain lead slugs of about 20 fps. Pure lead vs wheel weight lead, pure lead is about 15-20 fps faster. That said most of what I shoot is cast WW.

[@GregoryMcBride-qf7hx]

@@motorgearhead yeah I know, but a lot of copper slugs don’t have very many grooves in are made out of brass not soft copper, also lube will help, it also depends on the barrel, your lens in the grooves, etc. Lethal air is working on a specific barrel for air rifles too, I have a feeling it’s not so far out of touch as people might think

[@GregoryMcBride-qf7hx]

@@motorgearhead if you can get 700fps with a Lehigh defense slug where the slug is heavily grooved and light weight like 110grain with some lube then I would be happy. Might need a new barrel but it’s worth testing it out

[@GregoryMcBride-qf7hx]

@@motorgearhead if you can get 110 grain extreme peniteator to 750fps that is about 135foot pounds energy I think thats probably doable

[@motorgearhead]

@@GregoryMcBride-qf7hx - no telling what the future will hold… But from a expansions standpoint, you’re gonna have to have velocity’s faster than what lead requires since copper will not expand at the lower velocity like lead.

[@Scott-cu4ol]

really surprised the 150 grain only penetrated 8 inches going 950+ feet per second and the 173 grain going to 1 ft. pers slower penetrated 9 inches

[@mackattack8627]

Because those are hollow point bullets non hollow point will go all the way through I've seen it✌️

[@78David]

Energy matters but so does momentum. A heavier projectile, even if moving somewhat slower will generally carry more momentum and penetration will be greater

[@motorgearhead]

9 inches …. Nice expansion but are you better off running a solid that would pass through? You know the old air rifle hunters moto “2 holes bleeding are better than one”. I don’t know if this is true but it seems to have some logical merit?

[@Mrhollowpoint1]

No offense, but that is the biggest problem with newbies, everyone thinks that, but in actual life, it doesn't work, these are not 2500 fpe rifles, air rifle kills bleed very little to none, so a fast expanding slug, creating a bigger wound channel will do more damage to the internals than a little pencil hole with zero expansion . I know my business very well.

[@motorgearhead]

@@Mrhollowpoint1 - thanks for commenting. Again I don’t know so your input is certainly better than mine. I just repeated what another air gun hunting channel’s take on the subject when they took a deer with a sub 300 fpe 30 cal rifle. No offense intended

[@Mrhollowpoint1]

@@motorgearhead , no worries, it's I have to deal with that uneducated theory constantly and it gets old, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but once you have killed 40 animals and examine the damage you have a hands on knowledge.

[@user-bp3dw3tl3e]

just how thick do you think they are, total pass though... just sayin
