I have been in contact with Brian from Spyda, and he is very kindly going to make me up some .177 slugs.
The lightest he can make is 12.4gr (I think)
But I’m very keen to give them a try 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was back out IN THE WIND again tonight.
So fricken frustrating. 30 pellets for 17 rabbits, and would have had more if the wind wasn’t pumping and the moon wasn’t full. But hey, I only got rained on once, so that was a bonus 😂😂😂]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 16:51:50 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8197#8197 My new (old) little .177 bullpup. : There is a guy down south that... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8189#8189 Author: Pauly5

There is a guy down south that makes slugs. Spyda. Have you tried him? He may not doo .177 though.

That S510 certainly delivering the goods for you.]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:27:43 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8189#8189 My new (old) little .177 bullpup. : Ja definatly on high power 👍🏻... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8186#8186 Author: RangerPete

Ja definatly on high power 👍🏻 with an 8.44gr exact doing 813fps, that’s 12.3fpe at muzzel.
Would be interesting to know what the speed and fpe is at 70m.
I was consistently hitting a 10cm spinner in strong gusting wind yesterday afternoon at 70m, so with a bit more practise and on a calm windless night I’d feel confident to try a shot.

I’m also trying really hard to find some 10gr slugs, but NO ONE in NZ has any.
And all the overseas shops I’ve emailed say they won’t courier to NZ. So frustrating.]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 10:00:21 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8186#8186 My new (old) little .177 bullpup. : That's pretty good.was that... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8180#8180 Author: Pauly5

That's pretty good.

Little Elly’s been out there doing the business again tonight…
Finally stopped raining and the fricken wind eventually died, thank goodness!
Went out for a cull and got 32 rabbits and a possum.
I’ve never considered my self to be a “long distance” shooter, it wasn’t that long ago that 30m was my comfort zone for head shots, but I dropped a rabbit with a good head shot at 74yards tonight.
I’m well chuffed with that!]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2023 17:09:16 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8179#8179 My new (old) little .177 bullpup. : I see there is an upgrade for... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8148#8148 Author: RangerPete

I see there is an upgrade for S410’s and S510’s for this indexing post.
New one has a solid arm.
Oh well, my new one is in and working. If it goes again I’ll try get the upgraded part.

Mag wasnt indexing properly, wasnt moving the full amount to get the next pellet lined up with the breech, so the pellet probe was wasnt lining up with the hole in the mag and couldnt close the side lever.
I took the indexing mechanism apart and that brass "post" is the part that slides up and down. The copper strip "finger" lying next to it is supposed to be attached to it, and is what actually contacts the magazine and pushes the drum up one "click".

According to you tube (LOL) the copper finger fatigues and gets a little bent out of shape over time, and does then not complete the "push" to index the magazine. It can be gently bent back into shape with a long nosed pliers, which I tried, but alas the copper "finger" gave me the finger and said it had had enough.
Its a 2015 model rifle, so I'm guessing its had a few (thousand) pellets through it and that little finger has had to work for every pellet, and it was probably just its time.

Quickly phoned Youngs and got another one on the way.
Guess I’m going to be manually indexing the mag tonight 😂

What broke?

Me because Im still mostly shooting hares. Open paddock. Not from one spot. Not always good angles so body shot allows me more Lee way.
It stops the animal thrashing around a lot more. Brain short circuits make them dance. Heart/lung don't (as a general rule).
From my experiance anyway. ]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 14:03:31 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=8074#8074
