I just recently got the chrony. The 20 shots I was taking with such great consistency was 1100 fps -880 since than I have tuned by just adjusting tophat and putting an oring behind it. 44 shots starting at 2500-2000 psi.

It’s good to sometimes come back to slow down the pace to tighten up the groups at the longer ranges. But knife I’m sure a lot of people into air gunning are the grab and go type to start.

MOre so behind the pellet pressing the felt pellet against the barrel, out her way around the pellet is just pushing the felt pellet out not doing as good of a job.

Hasn’t changed poi once. Unless I do it.’i go right from 10-100 yds and get hits it takes a lot of rounds to get the feel and proper hold but once you do your set. If you have the room I’d go with a .25 right off the bat I wish I would have.

I’d say sight in for20- 25 yards. This will give you a first zero of 20 and a far zero around 60-70 because of the pellets arched trajectory. What kind of reticle are you using in your glass?

The top hat is what allows that air to escape. So yes the regs job is to regulate air pressure and it does but turning your top hat for a proper tune as well will help with excess waste and use of air and should also give more consistency.
