That only gets 700 fps at best, a $100 Gamo can break the sound barrier.

I once had a Crossman pellet rifle advertised at 1000 fps(?). It was fun and I liked to think of it as a kind of post-apocalypse squirrel rifle.

It's too bad the old Daisy VL rifles got the boot. For what was effectively a .22 caseless round and a rifle that could still be used as a fairly high powered standard air rifle even if you didn't have the VL ammo for it, it was a neat idea. I understand why Daisy dropped the line, they didn't want to have to go through the trouble of getting licensed as a firearms manufacturer to keep selling them. But it was a really neat system. the rifles are out there, but they are pretty rare and extremely collectible(Obviously.). The caseless rounds are still out there too, but super rare as well. And who knows if they would even still work, assuming the powder was still attached to the pellet. Would be neat to see someone shoot one if they actually had the stuff to do it.

[@scottperkins3696]

I have been doing this for 10 or 12 years and the secret to using regular pellets is you have to fill the rear end of the pellet with two part epoxy and let cure. This prevents the skirt of the pellet from blowing off or the excess pressure blowing through the front of the pellet. This is a better substitute for gluing a Copper BB in the back of the pellet.

Here’s 2 ideas. Steel wire from Lowes or Home Depot that holds up insulation. Cut 2-3” enough to fill a shotgun shell. Then the same thing 3” with the ends protruding dipped in 1/4” of hot led of 12 ga dia. (Obviously to make it front heavy and maybe hold everything together until hitting the target). Also, dipping both ends in hot lead for a balanced load and finally all the wires stacked and cut to fit inside a 3” shell but entire load dipped in hot lead to make a solid bullet filled with stiff wire pieces. Brad type nails are similar.

[@DrGreenGiant]

A pointed tip will always be less accurate at subsonic. Same reason, aerodynamically, why airliners don't have pointed noses. More tolerance to inaccuracies and environmental changes to the stagnation point. Supersonic, different kettle of fish, like Concorde etc, pointed is better because of the shock wave position.

Idea: fill the holes with a liquid to measure the difference in displacement on the led plate. Question: what might the damage comparison be between AR15 lead rounds if replaced by zinc rounds?

[@IrvineTheHunter]

Realistically the difference would probably be similar to a light FMJ and a heavy lead, zinc is much lighter and jackets protect the bullet from deformation.

[@scottcrawford3745]

At 14:39-14:41 you can see the zinc tip of the pellet exiting the bottom of the gel where it meets the table, so it actually veered down and out within inches of the end of the block.

Can we get a 3in shell loaded full of those?!

When I had a Rem. 700 chambered in 17 Remington, I handloaded some 15 grain Burger moly coated HP bullets with a full charge of powder. Was getting over 4450 fps over my chrony. Amazingly, those little Burgers held together. I shot a piece of thick (2 inches I think) plexiglass from a teller window from a bank that was being torn down. First shot it with a 1911 230gr FMJ. Only made a light dimple you could barely feel with your finger. Them I hit it with that tiny 15 gr HP at 4450fps, and it zipped all the way through it. Amazing stuff.

When you do the next round of tests will you compare standard and high velocity .22 lr to the ramset mass accelerated pellet?

[@stanpotter7764]

The ramset pellet they tested is much more powerful than a .22.
