.17 Ackley Hornet

Re: Does Taipan still make projectiles

I bought about 3000 of his rejects of those pills when he was closing up and had used 6000 of the good ones in years previous all put through my 22-204.
They went well in it and were accurate and I now use them in the .223.
If you want to sell them let me know.
Cheers.

Re: Evanix Giant

Well the new battery turned up and after a full charge it Works! Well the trigger system does. Now there seems to be an air leak and all the air has leaked out.
Now cannot get a refill til lockdown is over........maybe next year.
I am over the PCP thing before it has already started!

Re: Evanix Giant
