Charlie – 850 is a great spot. I’ve done some slo mo videos with my Talon .22 with the 18″ barrel shooting 18.1 JSB’s and you can see the pellet is verry stable. No wobble, no yawing curve, just straight to target.
However my .22 Condor with the 24″ barrel will stack ’em spitting them out at 900fps. This is the gun that I have the Altaros reg on. Love it 😀 .
I haven’t set my guns up to go balls out on power. 😯 I’ve tried to set them up for a long flat shot string. Just for fun, I did some long range (150 yard) video work this morning with both Talon and Condor. I try to find time to look and see if the pellet trajectory can be seen. 😉
I just got condor ss. I used Altaros reg and shoot 810 pfs with jsb 18.1. I used the tank on 24″ barrel, it got 850 fps.
Do you know what is the best fps for 18″ barrel with jsb 18.1? 850fps? So I can adjust the reg to match the velocity.
I remember you have this kind of setup.
One of the reasons these air rifles are so popular is that they can be extremely accurate. With the right pellet and conditions, you should be able to reproduce that group at 50 yards. Nice shooting.
work better in accuracy? Not sure. I’ve always had better luck with the 18.1.
work better in noise? No. You’re still going to have the same amount of air coming out of the barrel.
Changing nothing on the gun the 15’s are going to come out 50fps faster.
