140bar left in bottle .

Looks like 230bar fill is best for 35 shots which I think is pretty good for an unregged gun .

Damn! That 😯 Avatar 😯 just gave me a Woody!

quote Jerry:

If you decide to really crank it up I’d recommend trying the 7 rings first as I have the most feedback on them that they are accurate.

And they hit as hard as a freight train.
I have put them through 3/4 inch birch plywood. The 6 or 9 ring would not do it nor will the Kodiaks.

I can not wait till I have a .25 barrel again, I will be ordering more slugs.

All the Surefire .25 slugs are $15 per 100 (plus flat rate shipping). They come in 6, 7, and 9 ring lengths and weigh about 61, 71.5, and 86gr respectively.

If you decide to really crank it up I’d recommend trying the 7 rings first as I have the most feedback on them that they are accurate. I’ve got less feedback on the gen 3 6 and 9 rings so far but nothing negative…

I`m fairly sure it would wind upto 100+ftlb with heavy enough ammo .
Bet the shot count would be single figures at that power though . Will do some propper accuracy tests with the Kodiaks first and see how I get on .

How much are the super heavy slugs ?

Cheers

If the Kodiaks are flying true for you at that speed, there seems to be no reason to change anything. That’s a couple of great shot strings.

Now, if there’s room to dial it up a bit and use heavier slugs, well; I know where you can find them! You’d have to be comitted to 100 FPE and hitting targets a lot harder though…

I vote to leave it.The numbers look real good.

I`m quite pleased with the consistancy . Not sure whether I should leave it as it is or have a play with the set up . The valve is very adjustable up or down of my setting and this is just how it ran by bolting it on the bottle .

If I manage to get it running any better I post the results 😉

Those numbers look really sweet- those 31grainers are haulin’ ass…lethal 😈

Sweet! 😀

i hope Brads new valves will be this consistent!

Looking forward to his test.
