Ernest Tuned .25 Vulcan Insight?
Seeking some insight from Ernest and any others that can enlighten me…..
Acquired a new to me .25 Vulcan. Original owner posted a big review of it on The Yellow forum right after receiving it. According to him, after doing an initial 200 shots to let regulator settle in, on a fill of 240 Bar – 120 Bar, he got 58 consistent shots of around 928 fps, with and ES of 3.6 fps.
However, he said in an effort to make the gun more backyard friendly, he sent it to Ernest to have it tuned down in speed and regulator efficiency tuned. Per the tune sheet, it now shows a fill of 190 Bar – 130 Bar, giving 22 shots before falling off the regulator. Also, the speeds are now 887-897, an ES of 10 fps.
Can someone tell me if I should fill this higher than 190 bar (ie 220-240 bar) to get more shots per fill, or is it going to throw speed consistency off or waste air? Also, shouldn’t reduced speed of approx 30 fps definitely increase shot count? I sure wouldn’t mind getting 6 mags per fill vs the current 2.5.
I am still learning how all these different tuning combinations work and am only looking to become more knowledgeable. Any input is greatly appreciated!!!
