Revised!Condor power wheel settings
Ok kind of starting over but now I have my Chrono set up, first off I have a 22 Condor stock barrel with shroud shooting Beeman Kodiaks 21gr, I had my power wheel set at 6 shot some groups of 5 averaged about 1100 on the chrony my groups were good 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch center to center so I turned my power wheel down to 2 on the main and 6 on the wheel shot a couple strings at this setting and my average fps was 9934 on my first 10 shots and 1083 average for the second string of 10 shots. tank was at 2600 and I shot all 20 shots without refilling the tank pressure. Now I am kind of confused on this power wheel apparently when moving this wheel you don’t change the speed or fps as much as I thought you might is this correct? I should have mentioned my groups were improved also with one 5 shot group .375 and I shot a couple more at a clean target and they were still in the same poi so this is very good and I am happy, the only thing I am a little confused about is back to the power wheel I guess I was just thinking with that amount of adjustment on the power wheel I thought I would see more fps speed difference from the low end to the high end and I did see some just not as much as I thought there would be. So I guess what I am looking for is for all you condor shooters to tell me this is the way it is, and like I said I had just figured I would be on the high end of the scale on the power wheel to get this to shoot just under 1000 fps or under thanks Eddie. ps I will post pictures of target if I can figure out how to get them posted!

Nice shooting Eddie.
If you want to keep the velocity down to like around 1,000fps just fill to 2100-2200psi and keep the PW at 0-1. That’s what I do and it shoots very consistently down to 1500psi which is about 45-50 shots for me (1,030fps down to ~850fps). The power wheel makes a small difference, maybe 50fps between 0 and 10 at higher fill pressures. The fill pressure is what makes the biggest difference in power/velocity and is something you can control easily when you re-fill your tank.
Good Shootin !!!! Eddie
Thought you guys would get a kick out of this it is for real no tricks attached LOL thanks Eddie
New at posting pictures I have done it on other forums but it has been a while. This is some Condor shooting last night Monday july 27 2009 New gun just getting started I thought I would share these pictures with you I know you will like the popsicle stick for sure LOL thanks Eddie
The power wheel is a main spring preload and on a beast like the Condor does not really let you pick your speed.
Start at 0 and move it up until you get max power and leave it alone.
Yes on the chrony everyone I have talked to and posted says the same thing I kind of new that just searching for any information I can new gun so all the help I can get is appreciated thanks Eddie
Welcome Eddie. Get a Chrony. You can’t tune without one. A good starting point for the P.W. is smack dab in the middle, so you have the most adjustment both ways.
Eddie,
I am not learned enough on these rifles to offer suggestions, but I do believe you are going to need to get a chrony if you want to test and tune. I was also advised not to overtighten the set screws on the top hat when you play with the adjustment. Perhaps someone will chime in.
