Good video, fun bigbore airgun. Try some heavier slugs !! Mr. HP 415gr are awesome too The Texan CF LSS is capable of well over 700 fpe using the heavier slugs
@@AirgunAdvisor There is no regulator, external or internal on your gun. And that group is FAR from tight let alone super tight. We watched you shoot an unregulated pcp with a big spread.
@@ronmiller7248 💯 no regulator. That is the reason for the drop. That was the purpose of this video to show the drop and the idea that if you are hunting with this platform, you need to know your dope based on the pressure remaining in the tank as well as the distance of your target. Now if it were regulated, I bet all of those shots would be pretty tight.
@@AirgunAdvisor just from the research I have done , the projectiles have killer ballistic coefficient and can shoot 200-400 yards accurately. I really want to get into 100 yards plus bench rest shooting. The obvious draw back would be the single shot loading. I am trying to figure out a budget long rang shooter. There is so much new stuff coming out it is overwhelming
@@northtexasairgunner Another drawback would be the amount of air that this platform uses. Since bench matches are timed, you would runout of air to quickly. Now if you are just long range shooting, this would be an ideal choice.
@@AirgunAdvisor Can always do what I do when shooting for fun and connect a scuba tank directly to the gun. I have a smaller tank but it allows me to shoot plenty of times without having to refill the main gun.
The one thing that you didn’t mention, but it was acknowledged in the comments, is the loss of air pressure due to shots. Obviously there is a fairly large amount to the right as well.
That is a crappy reply. Anyone can put the crosshairs on a 50 yard target. There comes a point when you realize fairly quickly that it’s the gun. More often than not it IS the gun. PCPs are a crap shoot when it comes to reliability and barrel precision! It is for this reason I won’t buy one unless it has shown to be reliable AND accurate!! The only one that fits that bill currently is western bush buck
@2cthetruth So cynical and a crappy attitude. Are you saying the trigger control, flinching, understanding the best hold on a particular platform, etc.... doesn't make a difference? All of those things take time to understand and practice to figure out. Come on man. Not sure who pissed in your coffee, but I am happy to buy you a new cup of joe if it tastes that bad. Have not shot the Western Bushbuck, but have heard good things. I am really interested in the BushPig and the chassis system.
Interesting. Never have had an issue grouping in my experience. Also they are machined her in the USA. I have not personally noticed poor quality from Airforce. What kind of problems have you seen? 🤔
Every dam person that demonstrates these guns (getting something in return), says the same thing when they get shitty groups. “Pulled that one!” “Oh, that was me!” When y’all dam well know it’s the gun. There is a specific slug at a specific velocity that will shoot well from a pcp…IF…your barrel isn’t a dud. More often than not these “promoters” are sent the best shooters the company has. The suckers aka public get the crap. It’s at that point the gun turns into a money pit trying to get it to shoot straight when it can’t!!!
Love to see viewers trying to look at things with a critical eye. Also don't think it is any secret that that the work many reviewers do is promotional. What is unfortunate is that there are some who are so critical of what they see that they miss the truth when it is right in front of them. There have been multiple times where I have refused a review because I could not get said "best shooters" to work worth a darn. I can also tell you that they aren't pulling out their "best" to send to me. The amount of junk that I have to remove from barrels tells me that these are generally right off the shelf. Unless companies are going so far as to dirty the barrels with dirt/grease before they send them my way. I could keep going with examples, but there are more reviews to do. Keep the critical eye, but don't miss the good stuff because of it. Happy plinking.
The more promotional videos a particular pcp big bore gun has, the more I am convinced the company is slapping lipstick on a pig to try to push them out the door before too many bad reviews pop up hindering sales. Fx is going through that with the m3 and m4. I own an m3 and they are not built like they are marketed to be! A lot of people are giving fx the middle finger and seems the Texan is there too from the real world reviews I see. These manufacturers taking high prices for crap products is something strait from hell. They’ll get theirs in the long run.
What will you be using for air? What do you plan to do with your Airgun? Do you want to tune it or shoot it out of the box? Budget? Do you have a scope already or want to shoot with iron sights? A high quality break barrel can be just as rewarding and fun as a pcp. Especially at shorter distances. 50 yards and closer. Lots to think about.
yes yes thank you i’m trying to stay under the $100 budget definitely something with a scope moderately powerful but definitely something that looks and shoots good
@@ttv_fadingrellgaming7553 anything in that budget will shoot more or less the same. You will need to step up to $500+ in the new category to find something that is of high quality. Wal-Mart or any Airguns in the general sporting goods store could fit your desires for fun plinking or lite pesting.
If you cast your own - this is a Lee 255 grn .452 mold using WW lead - slugs are double powder coated & sized .457 - 50 yard 5 shot group & then ringing steel at 200 yards th-cam.com/video/7B3fmSjHjsM/w-d-xo.html
@@tommyrussell1415 - I’ve tested WW in my .308 AirForce Texan. The mold was an MP .311 sledge hammer mold. I used the large hp pin which drops a 131-132 grn .311 projectile. I resize to .309. The Texan will push these to over 960 fps and they expand to about .60 cal at 50 yards when tested in my medium game analog. Video linked. The video is comparing the .308 Texan to a reduced .223 load (40 grn x 1800 fps) as both make between 250-300 fpe. So I would try WW is a HP in the Texan .457 cause it works pretty good in the .308. 30 Cal AirRifle Vs .223 Reduced Load th-cam.com/video/myWYeUqY9zo/w-d-xo.html
@@tommyrussell1415 - I’ve tested WW powder coated to about 2300 fps without any leading issues. That was using Harbor Freight’s powder coat (white). Other coatings may even work better. Also as a side note, freshly powder coated bullet size easily with only a diy spray case lube made of liquid lanolin and rubbing Alcohol (25% lanolin by volume).
@@tommyrussell1415 - 35000 psi should work well for pistol and some lower pressure rifle loadings. I’ve never lubed with alox. I have some but I started powder coating about same time I started casting and the powder coat just seemed easier. But everything I’ve heard is alox is good lube.
Need to drop $700 on a scuba tank and at least 1k on a compressor. Don’t forget to buy all kinds of ammo so you can hope to find the one that might work!
Thanks,the headline of this video said SS,but in your intro and in the transcript,you said LSS....I'm sure it was a slip of the tongue,but it was important for me to know which was right,as I have just got the 456 SS CF and know there is substantial power difference between it and LSS. Question: After doing research,it seemed the NSA 290GR was a good slug for SS,so I got 50 rounds and they seem really inconsistent in the seating depth.The manual says to push them in the breech with thumb or projectile seating tool until they engage the rifling. I don't have a seating tool ,but I push them with thumb. Some go all the way in,while others go halfway,and some only barely start. Do You think that is an issue? I have tight groups,but changing distances, I'm having trouble adjusting new LPVO to the bullseye. I would expect only elevation drops...maybe faulty LPVO?
That Texan is a beast. Great video as usual.
Good video, fun bigbore airgun.
Try some heavier slugs !!
Mr. HP 415gr are awesome too
The Texan CF LSS is capable of well over 700 fpe using the heavier slugs
Just got one today, it's one badass PCP
It sure is. How’s it shooting for you? My groups at 100yards with an external regulator are super tight with 333 gr slugs from Mr. Hollowpiont
Can you put a regulator on a Texan? I know there is a lot of aftermarket stuff for them. I know nothing about the brand

Nice education on big bore bullet drop. Cool shirt, too!
Thanks 😊
@@AirgunAdvisor you know it!!!!!!
looks like a great gun there
One of my favorites!
Also how much quiter is the 308 version to the 50 cal etc. Ive heard some of the 50 are loud
I have been seriously considering an air force rifle. The 257 is interesting to me
Texan is a beast for sure. What is it about the .257 caliber that has you interested? Seems a lot of people gravitate towards them.

Awesome to hear. Ammo can be a game changer.
have there been any instances known, not for just this gun, with the canister exploding near someones face, is that something to even consider?
They seem to be cheaply made and never group right. Like said in comments it's always a reason

You don’t say 🤦♂️

i want two
Make it three!

It must be hard to zero your scope if you have to keep the tank full to get an accurate shot.
Great question. Usually two shots and go. The big bore Airguns do use a lot of air.
@@AirgunAdvisor I have one but haven't had time to zero it yet. Trying to do it today. Good thing I have a tank.
Doesn't take near the psi you'd think
