Ben Houghton 4 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 im useing the lime dub dub its a great tube chucks 9.5 steels fast like shoot a tree and you cant even dig them out fast but if your shooting lead i found the balls drop to quick to be as accurate u might want stronger bands for lead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.338winmag 78 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Most of the Chinese tubes i'l max out{ kinda like you can feel the lastic is streatched to the limit }er well actually i max out my squares as well ,tubes an squares are generally gonna last longest bands like the thera band etc are generally faster but quite a bit shorter life befor breaking ,it's kind hard to suggest a lastic set for yah like we don't know if yah can pull heavy set ups er in between or even if you would want to ?i'd step out on a limb an say mebe 1745 tubes doubled or mebe even single or 1842 doubled both are common set ups an still has good band life but a bit slower than the bands .

chisler 90 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 chisler what lenghts you using??? thanks My draw length is 28" so I've cut my tubes to 7 1/2 " I might shorten them a bit say down to 7", their not maxin out, I'm new to tubes so experimenting, as said 9.5 bb's fly out and cuts cans lovely, however the 12mm lead seems a bit slow, I'm thinking of buying a 10mm mold I've loads of scrap lead from churches that I have worked on.

chisler 90 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 scrap Draw length divided by 5 is what most go by Yep scrap/off cuts, when I'm doing the stone work on churches their's usually other trades working on site as well, I always try and blag any lead off them, I smelt it down and use it to fix stainless steel dowels with in the stone (old fashioned way of doing it). I've just shortened my tubes down to 6 1/2", I used your formula and it came out at 5.6" so I added a bit on for fitting and not to max them out, thanks so much for info, it's increased the power most definitely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kal 17 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I use orange dub dub on my Black Widow, shooting 9mm steel and that's fine. I've also tried red and green Theraband tube, which seems slow.
