Hey RJ! Hows it going? I am going to have to talk to ya before too long….. I am missing those 88 grainers! I have only a precious few put away for safe keeping!

Anyways, the Dyotat and RL valves that you run at 3600 are installed into what type of bottle? Stock AF?
My valve doesnt have a burst disk…. but a 4000 psi Guerilla air gauge installed in the only avail port.
I dunno why, but I have this strange sense of security or ignorant blissfulness. I feel totally safe and worryfree at 3400 psi
Yet 3600 or above and I feel like I am handling nitroglycerine! Obviously the tank says 3000psi for a reason! Probably if I continue at 3400 which I am surely going to continue. It would be wise to hydro my tank once in a while! I have two tanks I can rotate between checkups. I have a stock standard flow .177 AF Condor valve that I have run with my own brass hammer and heavier spring. I shoot it regularly at above 3000 and can get a curve with minimum PW setting. If I preload the spring much above 2 or 3 it sends the heaviest 10gr CP into supersonic after just the first couple of shots. My accuracy then slips to much shorter range. At 33yrds I can still break sound and maintain scoring shots on smallbore target. One inch or less hypervelocity at 33yrds.!

I run mine at 3600 psi using Doug’s valve and the RandL valve. No problems so far but I don’t like my face anyway!!!!

I wouldn’t recommend it dude as the max pressures are well the max pressures really. The PCP tunes high flow valve max pressure is 250bar rather than 200 with airforce valve. That’s a nice valve, quiet and strong, if you are desperate to push the envelope. And why not.

Stock bottle yes stock condor or valve no…..
Makes me very nervous and I dont let it sit around charged at that pressure or out in direct sunlight. Just make sure your valve has a burst disk and ya might be reasonably safer than I have been with a valve that has none.

i still cant shake the blown bottle image off my head. hope you are using at least a luxfer bottle
