I currently have a gamo urban but am looking for a little more power. I would like something that will push an 18-20 gr projectile to the 875-900 FPS range. I am interested in a good ole marauder as I should mention that is about the price range I want too. For some reason I’m just having a hard time finding good video reviews showing power numbers on the 22 cal. I’m reaching out to owners for this. So a few questions.
1). Out of the box what velocity for 18 gr pellets can be expected ?
2). For those that have adjusted theirs for power how many turns out from stock do you run the air flow screw on the valve? Where do you run the hammer spring and hammer throw?
3). What numbers are you guys seeing in FPS out of your guns with an 18-20 gr pellet?

I have the marauder FT version in .22 so not exactly what you’re looking for. But with JSB 18.13 it chronys at avg 801fps with spread of 12 in 10 shot group. Bone stock. And i get approximately 70 shots before fps falls off. Remember this is that regulated version.
I shoot alot of the Crosman Premier 14.3gr because i could get em and accurate ad i need for plinking. They chrony at 868 with spread of 6.
But..... what i wanted more power? Yeah. So tradeoffs

Correction. I was just looking over my notes. My Marauder feel off regulator at approximately shot 60, not 70 as i stated above. With the 14.3 gr Crossmans i was still at 827fps at shot 70.

I am away from my notebook right now, but there is a ton of people who have published their tuning data. There is another forum dedicated to marauders that has older data too. There You can achieve what you are looking for with a regulated F&T Marauder (at least in my experience). I can't tell you about long shot strings because I tend to limit my shot strings to around 40 because I hand pump and like to stay at the upper end of the pressure range. These days I will often only shoot ten shots because I recently had open heart surgery and would rather take ten precision shots than plink for an hour so long strings don't matter. Also high power doesn't matter as long as I have enough for precision and to kill a rabbit or squirrel.

I like to shoot the hades pellets around 870 fps. I tune mine to a 20 fps spread "out of the tin".
