Edgun R3 Shot Strings
I got a 22 Standard and a 25 Long in the last shipment and have been shooting them for a couple of months. Strings for the .22 are with JSB 18.1’s and the .25 is with JSB Kings.
The 25 Long came shooting at 950 fps and as it settled in worked its way up to 970 fps. The accuracy was definitely sufferring so I decided to start tuning.
Edgun 25 Long as received:
Here is my current state of tune:
I watched OG’s video and read on here about Reg adjustment. As everyone says, taking the gun apart is really quite simple once you do it once and figure it out. I think I’m close enough now to shoot it for a while and not worry about it but would like some comments from the experts (Old Goat). I am backed off on the HST about 10-15 fps from max. Reg is now turned down from !2:00 to 5:30 This is 75 very good shots. Accuracy is now outstanding. Is it going to make any worthwhile difference backing the reg off a smidgeon more?
Also, here is a shot string from my .22 standard. I have not messed with it yet as I am still increasing the shot count and the accuracy is excellent. It doesn’t seem like this will need as much reg adjustment when the time comes.

My R3 Standard 22 is set at 890fps. Over 70 shots easy.
Hey Fast…is that after you adjusted the reg and hst or one or the other, both or still stock? Just wondering…
All stock. .22 is very well set from factory.
Biggest problem is the new users starting to mess with HST and Regulator after couple shots on brand new never shot rifle.
… if you really itching to mess with it. Ok. Just play with HST for a little, set it where you like and SHOOT the rifle! Put at least 1000-2000 shots through it.
By that time it will settle and break in. And that is the time when you want to run chrony string and do some very fine tuning.
You will be surprised how different it will shoot after first couple thousand shots.
Clint, you’re getting there. I would bet that if you turned the reg down just a little bit more and increased the HST just a little, the shot string would flatten out a little more.

Very nice.

I kept staring at your strings wondering what was up and then it hit me that you changed the scale from the first graph to the last two (10 FPS to 5). 😳
My ,25 std Mat slowed down as it settled in from 930 FPS to 915 FPS.
Looking good. Your 25 string is pretty close to mine overall.
Hi,
You got your .25 long shooting consistently. 75 shot at close to 45 ft lbs is it. My long .25 gets 70 shots with similar numbers.
Great job!!

Wow…that’s outstanding. Thanks for the info. I was wondering about it because I had to put a new reg in and my hst was the only thing I touched so mine would shoot in the low 900s to around 895. I really want it a hair lower, but need to shoot it more to get it broken in, I guess.
