Something just seems wrong to me like the speed is to slow for setting 10.

Keeping everything stock, the way it came out of the box, for the 1st 200 shots or so and then Ill start making adjustments.. but power seems standard, they only claim 900fps on the SS .25 with Kings..

unless I am missing something?

This will give a longer string for a given velocity drop (though lower peak).

I’m interested in how much you can wring out of that tank.

Will do.

But there are many adjustments at 10, so I am on 10-1.

Will do accuracy at 50yd tomorrow. Testing JSB 25.4 vs HN 31.02. Same 5 shot strings.

You can add baffles, top hat o-ring for better air consumption, and it’s large tank allowed high power or tons of low power shots depending on pressure.

I agree with hoot that they need to step up their game. Maybe a Airforce custom shop that charges a premium for options and tuning.

Using my Tuned 60 fpe all the time .25 lately.
Quiet enough and with enough power range to skip the .22 in my opinion. Putting dime seize wholes at 40yds without a problem.
