    Great, looking forward for it with anticipation since my GK1 will be delivered in October. As a regular user of the previous 2 molds (5.5, boat tailed), I have experimented also by chopping of the tail off with good accuracy results in LW barrels with lower powered guns in an effort to produce lighter slugs with just the same mold... the new shape will make it easier (chop off last ring with a sharpy)... I use pure lead but you're right, very fast shooting clogs the barrel with lead dirt reducing accuracy.. unless lube is used.. I use teflon oil spray with very good results. Thank you for your efforts ❤

    I have been looking for a .25 mold for my GK1, and just realized MP offers these Airgun molds! That’s awesome. I use a few of their 45-70 molds for my Texan rifle, but like you say, their.25 acp mold is a little too small in diameter.
    Just ordered this 8 cavity mold, I can’t wait to try it! 44 grain slugs have been doing great in the pistol; I have no doubt it will throw these 50 grains with no problem.

    Hi Gregor.
    I hope you are doing well with your family! I need your help with 2 questions for you: I will buy version 3 of the mold (I already have the other 3 previous ones for 5.5 ;), considering that once molded they must be calibrated, the "Push thru size die" option is the 5.55mm right? And the 2nd question: do you have ideas or do you know of solutions (adaptations) that allow it to incorporate a larger capacity carbon fiber bottle-style air tank? Will it be very complex to manufacture? Do they sell it there? Aliexpress? Giving it greater autonomy would make this rifle even more iconic, thank you very much and greetings from Chile.

    Hi Gregor,
    First of all, thank you for the video. I've already purchased an MP-MPLD 5.52 mold for my Huben K1 V2, September 2018 edition. However, the results I obtained were not good at all. At a distance of 40 meters, my groups had over 50 cm of spacing using just pure lead. However, when I run these bullets through the Huben swaging kit, they yield acceptable and much better results. Do you have an explanation for this? Should I consider using this new 5.55 mm mold instead?

    • @gregorkamensek3923
      @gregorkamensek3923  Рік тому +1

      Slugs with that mold are quite challenging to make right. Even I did not always succeed. Lead alloy play a big role, they have to be made of relatively hard alloy... Also, Huben changed the barrels few times in the process. This is one of the reasons why I made the version 3. This one is much easier to cast and work well in different barrels. They are also sizable so even if you don't get good results right away, you can try with different dimension... If you are willing to buy another mold, version 3 (this version) is probably the best solution, but I would also point out what you probably already know; when it comes to casting, the consistency is never as good as with swagged, so it is up to you to do good job when you cast. That is just the unfortunate reality of slug casting.

    I just bought the Huben k1 25 this past summer. What was recommended for pellets were Exact King 25.39g 6.35mm, Fx 33 g 6.35
    Slugs 254 42 g Flats by NEAG 6.35 47g boat tailed by NEAG and lastly ZAN 253 /6.41/ 33.GR . I've only shot one mag of the JBS kings 25.39 6.35 pellets through it. What is your recommendations, and are any of the ammo I've gotten good, and what's your opinion about Teflon oil spray. I really like your suggestion of adding in other metals to harden ammo and for less clogging. I bought the newest Huben because I thought that it had superior accuracy w slugs and pellets. I'm currently saving up for the 30 cal RTI PROPHET 3 Which I've seen it to be very accurate w slugs and pellets.

    • @gregorkamensek3923
      @gregorkamensek3923  11 місяців тому

      To continue from the previous answer I gave you, use flat or coup tail slugs (not boat tail), size .251 or .252 and weight from 33 - 40 grains. You can go heavier but you will only get 1 magazine from 300 bar fill (for example with my slugs that are 50 grain).

    Gregor, may i ask you if undersized slugs (.250) cause jams in the (G)K1? Some people claim that it will. I personally have shot many .250 slugs in my K1 and yes they are not as accurate as .253/4 but never experienced a jam.
    What is your take on this? Thanks.

    • @gregorkamensek3923
      @gregorkamensek3923  Рік тому +1

      No, they don't. The only problem (besides accuracy) with undersized slugs is that the can more freely in the magazine and if you tilt the gun forward, the slug in the chamber aligned with the barrel will partially go to in the barrel. If you want to rotate the magazine at this point (manually with the leaver up), it will not be possible. You need to tilt the gun back in and shake it so the slug goes back to the magazine in order to be able to rotate it. But this will not cause a jam.

    The slugs that come out of the mold look very smooth and when I push them through the sizer it almost feels wrong to shoot them, you want to put them in a show case hahaha One - point, when I cast the slugs and cut them of with the leaver, the base of ths slug is round and I have to grind them to a flat surface. What could this be? I used the lead of old slugs from the trap.

    • @gregorkamensek3923
      @gregorkamensek3923  Місяць тому

      Hi. Probably too low temperature of the mould for the alloy you are using. For pure lead, the temperature must be higher. If you are using those for K1, I would suggest that you add 1 - 2% of antimony. If you do so, the melting point will get lower lower and you will get better casts. Also, K1 (any GK1) prefer harder alloys because they shoot out of the magazine. They will be more accurate and you will also get less fouling on the forcing cone (less cleaning of the barrel).

    Do you think these slugs are better than Altaros slugs for Huben k1 .25 (year 22)? I'm all about accuracy.

    • @gregorkamensek3923
      @gregorkamensek3923  5 місяців тому

      No, they are not. Those are casted and Altaros are turned, so Altaros are much more consistent by weight and size/shape. But there might not be that much of a difference in the accuracy you get from K1 at the end since K1 accuracy is limited mostly be the fact that it is shooting from the magazine. Still, I would say that you will get better accuracy with Altaros.

    • @gregorkamensek3923
      @gregorkamensek3923  7 місяців тому

      It depends of few more factors like: if you got LW or Chinese barrel (older had LW barrels that were a little more pellet picky) and the caliber. The slugs from the video tend to work well on all of them but they are designed with the newer Chinese barrels. Good alternatives are Altaors but they are expensive. I dont get good results with .25 cal Altaros in the Chinese barrels though, but other people do so I cannot say for sure. Other slugs also work well, just pay attention that their length is less than 11mm and that their size is appropriate for the magazine (in newer K1s .251 and .219 tend to work best). Hope this helps.
