Q:

Air Pressure

In the quest for knowledge. If regulated what psi would one set air pressure for 1.) accuracy 2.) power 3.) shot count 4.) all around compromise?

ugh…hate scotch!

Some of the fellows have bought the JDS Reg. at 2000 PSI or so. Hopefully they will chime in here with their experiences. I bought a 2500 PSI and still haven’t given it a good try but some comment was made that there just isn’t enough prechamber air space with the E-TaC REG adapter for the heavies.

Right now I am using the short E-TaC with Cant and Cast Off and LOVE It. The gauge and Foster quick fill are nice but you have to fill with the tank on the rifle. That works good when you get a Micro Bore pump hose from Joe Brancato.

What caliber, what barrel length, what tank, what adapter, what range, field target or pest control?

Considering .22 caliber Condor there isn’t any one regulator available that works well with the full range of pellet weights the Condor can handle.

We really need a regulator made for the AF tank. Get yourself an E-TaC without a regulator and a WOKButt and you’ll really enjoy the improvement.

Read the forums about accuracy and shot strings and you’ll want to setup and test different things for yourself.

It seems a lot of fellows get better results even with heavies using 2900-2600 PSI. For lighter pellets anywhere from 2400 down to 1500 PSI. The range we have to work with from the AF rifle is just to great to give you simple answers.

Good Luck,

Lurker ran across this site (http://jdsairman.com/index.html) and got the few non Scotch soaked brain cells bouncing around, not to mention my SS check did not bounce and before I spend it on Scotch!!!!!!BTW .22 x 24″ Condor
