Testing EDgun Matador .22: Speed vs Accuracy
Initially, forgive my english. I’m using the help of Google Translate. :biggrinn:
I tested my EDgun Matador R3M .22 Standard seeking to find v0 that produces the best accuracy with the JSB Heavy (18.13 grains).
All precision tests were made 60 meters (distance available at the club) using the support of a couple of Caldwell sandbags and Hawke Sidewinder Tactical 6,5-20×42 scope (using the zoom at 20x).
The leads were not weighty or standardized. They were selected from the can only visually, discarding those with noticeable wrinkles.
There are 6 varieties of v0. For each tested v0, I made about 5 or 6 groups to check the accuracy. Photos are of the 2 best groups in each tested v0.
For each v0 I also did a series of 10 shots before and after the groups because after making the first group (Group A) I realized that the speed varies after the adjustment.
Here are the results:
According to the results we see the Group F was the best. The difference may not seem very large, but here only show the two best groups of each v0. While in the other groups the best accuracy was 18mm, in Group F average precision was 18mm and their best group was 15mm.
My question is: what is the default precision of Matador .22 to 60 meters?
It is worth continuing varying v0 seeking better accuracy or that is the limit of it (considering I do not have selected leads and the support is not the best)?

What do you mean? You think we are insulting folks when we tell Bedwetter to take Zonks cocking lever out of his mouth? Well he should Zonks got shit to do around the fucking farm and Lead Dick keeps distracting him with Porn and walks to the wood shed. Or when we tell Hoot: it is time to go back into the nursing home? This is true as well he has been sniffing viagra non-stop and stalking Villes Daughters with his perpetual hard on. Or is it mean that we tell Sr. Ville to stop playing with his Flute in public :whistle: He lost one job already because of this we don’t want to see him unemployed again and drinking all day long.
These things are general discussion topics here on TAG and help us to waist time while we wait for our guns to arrive from Russia and Czech Republic. :tag:
btw, sometimes this place can seem like an Olympic Insulting Event. All in good humor, mainly. So, man-suit on. :whistle:

This is a really f*** nice information!
Dear Troubadour,
You spelled “fucking” wrong.

Thanks. :rofl:
Sorry also to use *. I don’t know if I can write bad words in this forum (newbie’s things…)
No you can’t until you are retarded to the level required by the forum, you know… the breakin period.

I have my regulator set at 120 bar. I shoot the JSB at 902 FPS. At these this I also have an ES of 9 with the gun being super efficient with the gun using 10.3cc/FPE. I have well over 25K through my R3M .22
Regulator came marked at 130 shooting close to 940-950 fps initially.
I posted strings when I first got it and started tuning. Initial pre break in ES was 50fps. Some hammer tuning brought it down to the 20s. After several thousand pellets it was around 12 ES. After 10k pellets it settled in and to the 9ES and 2.33 SD and has remained so for 150k pellets through it now. I did a very light polish to the mating surfaces of the washer stack and keep orings greased and lubed well (still all original except for a couple probe orings) and I tighten the reg body really snug with band pliers so less chance of leaks past each body. I had some odd strings once and pulled reg out and body sections were barely pinky finger tight.
The string looks like every other string with same deviations posted by many others.
My 25 got same treatment and duplicates 9 ES with 2.3-2.4 SD spread on string for 72-75 shots at 940fps with JSB 25s.
It also settled in after 10k and is over 70k now.
Eds regs get better with age.
Thank you very much my dear.

I don’t know what pressure it’s set at. Only know where string drops off per Eds gauge on gun and that’s pretty dam close to 100 bar

205-100 bar on Edgun gauge before string starts to taper off.
I know the Ed gauge is accurate as it matches with a few quality fill gauges.
I’ve chronoed 100s of strings on my Eds.
Your regulator is set at what pressure ?

Dude, 9 fps ES in more than 100 shots is amazing!
As mine is approximately 930 fps, I hope 50 shots or a little more until the regulator losing efficiency (standard model). I will do the complete string in this v0 and publish here.
You published this string of 100 shots? I would like to see. I have a little collection of strings that I find in forums and open internet. 
At 60-80*. Sea level. 885fps with 9 fps ES, 2.33 SD =112-115 shots.

mine long .22 here in Brazil I set for 920 fps with jsbs heavy…but I liked to used about 885-900 fps also…well… choice what is better for you..and be happy…
:hoot:
Demp with your current setting where does your .22 fall off the regulator
