I always enjoy your videos. Your one of the VERY VERY few channels that I don't feel like you're blowing smoke up my ass. Once people accept sponsorships and such you can't really believe a single word they say any more. Thanks for the videos. And honesty!
Hi..I saw your tests with the Kalibrgun.25 ... I was asking you, in order not to make a mistake, which slug you tried is suitable for Cricket Tactical.25 barrell 60 polygonal?
I been watching your videos for a long time, I love everything you put on here, I used your Avn slugs in several airguns of mine, they shoot real good and accurate through everything I used them in, keep the great videos coming
Awesome Steve 👌I really like your slugs used them in my taipan vet long 25 cal it's great to see you making a video it's been awhile thanks fir sharing be safe buddy 👍
The diameter is CRITICAL. Even 0.01mm can make a difference. You are the only one making it properly. Subcalibers are a must, otherwise it is just a try and error. As of the weight - there must be the right amount of bearing surface between the slug and the bore. Twist rates are more forgiving than people think. The diameter is the KEY. If the barrel is choked then the slug diameter should be the same as the groove in the choke or just barely bigger. There is no norm in the airgun industry when it comes to barrel diemesnions hence the subcalibers are a MUST. Please bring your slugs to Europe.
I really like your honesty. I'm going to order some of your dish .25s for the avenger soon. I'm currently shooting the FX hybrid 26gr slugs but, despite they come in a hard pltic case, 95% of them have shavings of lead on the back and sometimes in the hollow point. I literally have to go through every batch that I shoot with a tooth Pic with grooves cut into it and then follow that up with a hard bristle tooth brush. I bought 1000 of these things and I'm down to my last 200, you can imagine at this point I'm so pissed off at FX and claiming they have good quality control and even show people at their factory sifting through batch after batch picking out imperfections....that is such BS. I'm on the hunt for a good reliable and old quality slug for my avenger .25cal and I think you will be my next big ammo purchase. I really want to buy dish slugs. But the size I'm just going by whatever you would recommend. Please reply here so more people can see it. Thanks. Great shooting. Love your channel and details and the honesty. Stay true to the cause. God Bless
Hey Aaron, I just re-slugged the .25 Avenger barrel (unmodified). Came up with a .2523 to .2525 groove diameter. I believe the 34 -37 grain .253 Dish Base will be best. In my video I made 2 years ago on the Avenger, I shot the .254 36 grain. At the time I did not make my .253 slugs. I have not tried the .253 yet.
I purchased a Benjamin Marauder 25 cal way before slugs came along . The two drawbacks with slugs is the velocity increase required to stabilize the flight of the slug and a substantially reduced shot count . Is it worth it . It depends on if your using it for target shooting or hunting . If your hunting in the field then it probably will be acceptable . Good to know we have another quality USA made slug manufacturer . ❤
Still using your Yong Heng? Would love another update video on yours. I'm coming up on one year with mine. One of the best decisions I've ever made. I love it.
Those are awesome groups I wondered if you found Right size diameter and weight Like you just did and then test Velocities Start at 850fps up to 1000fps To see What speed the slug Likes Maybe there's a sweeter spot for those slugs
Yes, I did some velocity variation till the groups looked good. It's possible that a different gun may like a different velocity and find a harmonic node.
Sounds good I was just thinking If it would improve in different speeds but it looks like you already got it down And thought of that thank you for your videos And god bless
Hello AVS, I am also the proud owner of same gun and cal. My gun, with plenum, is shooting 34 grn JSB at around 925 fps (reg at a135 bar) . Is it OK to use the slugs upto 36 grn wt at same Regulator setting ? Kindly guide pl. Regards from India
You may have to up your regulator to 150 bar to get a 36 grain .253 slug to move at 920 fps. I am adding a power plenum to cricket in the next week or so which will add some power to my cricket.
Dera Sir, I request you for one last reply. In Cricket, unlike modern air rifles, the Reg is not externally adjustable for different weight pellets. So, keeping the Reg at pressure of 150bar certainly will push 34grns JSB Heavies arnd 960-970 fps. BUT, IS IT OKK FOR THE INTERNALS OF THE RIFLE TO KEEP IT OPERATING AT 150 BAR REG PRESSURE. O Rings can be replaced, but don't want to compromise on the metallic components. Will be greatful for your reply pl. Regards

Really nice shooting bud. Amazingly accurate.
Nice grouping and definitely great shooting.

that cricket is lethal❤
It is interesting how the breeze affects even slug with the better BC.
Impressive!

Thank you! We are expanding production capabilities now and will go international in mid 2023.

Yes, still going strong. I did an update a few months back. Everything is still great.
how hard is it to install this Kalibr Cricket II Tuning Regulator By Huma-Air?
and do you have any advice on this?
Is it a standard LW or CZ 12 grooves choked barrel? .2525 was the dimension of the choke?
Cz barrels. Kalibrgun was using LW the year prior to when I bought mine
@@AirVelocitySport I think my one should be LW’s how can you tell if it is LW’s or CZ’s
If the barrelmis not labeled only the dealer or someone familiar with LW can tell. My dealer, R And L airgun Supply said it was CZ
Is it effected because the LW barrel is choked?
