Q:

Regulator output pressure?

Hi guys

I’m going to buy a .22 Condor (24″) and would also like to get a regulator. Doing a bit of research it looks like 2000psi output is a popular choice. Could anyone who’s tried 2000psi output let me know what velocities they’re getting with some .22 heavy pellets like JSB 18.1, Kodiak 21.1,
JSB 25.4, and EJ 28.4 ?

I’d also be interested in knowing how many good shots per fill you get with a standard Airforce bottle at 2000psi output.

Thanks

If i may recommend a regulator.

I have two of the Altaros regulators. Very happy with them. The Altaros you adjust for speed of the pellet not pressue output.

You really do need a chrony to benifit form the use of a reg so you will know what the speed is of the pellet so you can optimize the regulator.

You can have them set to a requested speed but mine came in shooting about 100fps faster than what i had asked for. Their altitude may be higher than mine thus the variance. No big deal since i have a chrony.

Mine took only about 10 days to arrive.

hope this helps.

Thanks PigButtons

On the edge is right, every combination will have a slightly different outcome, read preference. I have an ‘jdsairman.com’ regulator which requires a CO2 adapter to connect to the Condor. I had it preset to 2100 psi but have since tuned it down to 1950 psi where there is a sweet spot for accuracy. The regulator is easy to work on and adjust but the math is not straight forward and took some research to calculate the correct combination to get the pressure I wanted. That said, when you find the sweet spot for your rifle it will be worth every bit of effort.

I can’t help you with shots per fill because I also opted for the 62 cubic inch tank from the same site. I get about 60 shots from 2800 psi to 2000 ( I like to stop before I go off regulator), with the power wheel set at 12.1.

You can start at 2000 and then shoot off reg to see how low you get when thing start really smoothing out. It’s a process not a formula that can be determined ahead of time.

Thanks for the advice ON_THE_EDGE.

I don’t have a chrony, will get one when I buy the condor.

First thing, do you have a chrony? What you need to do is determin the optimum fill pressure for your valve/hammer/barrel/etc. combination. You need to find at what pressure is your air rifle performing at the peak. Then you get a regulator for that pressure. My Talon SS with the present arrangement has a fill pressure of 1800 PSI.
