.30 Cricket at 89 FPE L@@K shot string
Got excited when the 1st # showed 937fps had to look more then once and shake my head, then look at the crony and see if the lights are on and took another shot 935fps WOW at 35″ bullpub with this much power I want to hunt NOW!!!!
More tuning and this is what I got at this speed: (Have more spring tension to get it higher, just to see 100FPE possible with a full mag?)

We have a real ball game between the Cricket (already multi-shot) and the 30 cal Matador (which isn’t quite out yet) now. Great competition and should make both guns better (and maybe a little less expensive???) 😆
If the Crickets prove to be accurate then the icing on the cake would be custom tuning as they are sold. 😀 I might trade a little less power for a few more shots. Maybe 80 FPE for 25-27 shots or 900 FPS with a JSB 44.75? Am I dreaming again? :6: I’ll wait for the accuracy results. Maybe these huge pellets can handle a lot more velocity and stay stable.
Update: I see you got 30 shots at 80 FPE. Now that is impressive.
Oh man, those new .30s are looking mighty fine!
What was the initial shot string like, out of the box (w/pressures)?
Thanks!
Excellent job! :8: Can you tell the secret? How did it make such a leap from your earlier testing? Now I think you have our attention. 😮

seems like if those Cricket would be a good candidate for a barrel that shoot .25 bullets, a .25 bullet with a nice Meplat would be superior than any .30 pellet
