EDDIE- Results for 18" LW on 2500 reg
Hey Eddie, the results are in!!
SET UP-
18″ LW barrel .22
2500psi REG
3000psi Fill
53CUI tank. AF tank is 38CUI
JSB 18.1grain
PW Not a clue!
947,41,47,41,43,44,44,41,37,43,41,38,44,41,40,29,38,39,37,38,39,41,36-now off reg,34,31,35,36,37,37,34,33,34,35,33,35,36,34,36,30,29,34,35,27,21,16
EDIT 23 shots on reg with 19 more gooduns off reg. My onboard gauge is crap, gives me different read outs each time. I shot down to 2200psi from 3000psi fill.
Accuracy at 40 yards is crazy good, to the point I could of written ‘PAB’ with pellets if I wanted. Literally. Absolute pinpoint.
Definately wasting a bit of air, you can hear it. Slow them down a bit to 900-910 should be perfect air usage.

I’m gonna keep this barrel on for a while I think. I’ve got a couple thousand of these pellets and the accuracy is astounding!!
Gotta get over to the farm and do some long range testing 😎
Thanks Pab for going to the trouble for me gives me a good idea of what to expect! and like you said and I have thought to be the case, to get a good shooting 18 inch barrel it looks like a lower fps is in order like you said 910 or so which is not a problem really 😆 Just from what I have figured out and your testing tells me I was thinking in the right track! you just can’t get that kind of speed out of an 18 inch barrel without wasting allot of air trying! It looks to me in order to Reg air and shot count the 24 inch barrel is a good match for the Etac 😯

You guys are making my head spin around. Dam, I love my talon SS with its accurate 12″ barrel. It loves JSB 18.1 gr, but it even loves the CP 14.3 brown box even better!
I’d like to reg this gun with the 12″ barrel, but I don’t want to waste air. Right now I believe I am pushing the 14.3 gr near mid 950’s with my ported and polished tank (talon valve) and around 75 fps slower with my stock talon tank.
Just in case this 12″ barrel does not lend itself well to a decent fps and shot count to boot…don’t think I don’t have a dead accurate “polished” 18″ barrel from Mike (knifemaker) laying in my closet waiting to have the dust knocked off of it 😉
