    Career ultra 9 mm

    I bought this rifle in about 2001. The twin cylinders hold just under 500 cc. I think you need that much storage to keep form contentiously refilling. It shot about 3 inch groups at 50 yards with pellets or round balls. I cast the round balls form pellet scraps and they weighed 69 gr. The same as the pellets. The round balls drifted less in the wind then the pellets. I recall it had just a little less then 100 foot pounds of energy and gave about 10 good shots.

    I shot this rifle in a big bore tournament in Pennsylvania and got a third in the woods walk.

    I have had valve problems with this rifle, but it seats the pellet/ball into the rifleing something the single shot Careers don't do.

    Hi Ian , i shoot the daystate wolverine ,303 @100fpe using 50.15 grn pellets
    this as accurate as the shooter is,.and devastates prey it has 18-20 full power shots,
    its a lot mre than the dragon claw 9mm, but imo its well worth its price.
    i love shooting my wolverine its great fun.

    Hi
    the price of the 303 is a bit more than i would like to spend, as i am on a budget the 9mm is more doable .
    the price of the wolverine i would buy a nice 223 or a 243 i just cant spend that much the wife will have me.
    I like 9mm as i was a pistol shooter until they got taken away.
    I will stick with the 9mm and hope it is the right one.

    The new Evanix GTK290 is in 9mm but being sem-auto would make it a no no over here. But I can still dream

    i am looking at the dragon claw in 9mm it is the biggest calibre i would go for, for target shooting and i would use it for vermin control how far do you think i can shoot this 9mm and be accurate.

    That depends on you and the size of the vermin, but I remember doing pretty well out to 50 yards. Of course this was a dozen years ago and there are better guns and pellets now.

    9 MM accuracy

    Since I made my last post I watched a video of the Evanix semi auto. Without a doubt it is much more accurate then my Career Ultra. I understand that the Rainstorm comes in 9MM also.

    I noticed you are talking about the dragon claw, isn't that a 50 cal?
    The 9mm, is the Sam Yang Recluse.
