Getting the most from your 22XX

[Flyboy]

Does anyone have any experience with using a Hammer Debounce Device (HDD) with a Boss 12-gram valve in a 22XX? From what I've read this could help increase the average shots per cartridge.
I keep a list of possible mods I'd like to make to my newish 2300k and these are on as "need more feedback".

I don't have any personal experience but I just did a quick Google search and found this interesting link...

EDIT: Sorry, it doesn't mention how well it works with the Boss Valve.

Thanks Flyboy. I found a few articles here as well after some searching. From what I've read I've concluded that the HDD can add more shots but in the long run they tend to fall apart, which can damage the gun, because they are plastic.
Perhaps a high quality, high impact plastic would work better. I will do some more research and see what's available.

i've recently been making a 2540. this may be over your 12 ft lb limit across the pond.  i have the 12g boss valve, 18" .25 barrel. i don't have a chrony yet, but it has a serious whack on targets. only getting 10-12 shots how it's adjusted currently.
i don't worry about cost per shot. i don't feel that you can get the most out of something if you start with limits in money or anything else. just seems to be counter-productive toward your stated goals.

i also think the p-rod trigger is a large step in getting the most out of your 2240.

Yeah I think possibly your .25 cal conversion may take it over the 12 ft. lbs. UK limit! However, it all depends on what sort of muzzle velocity you're getting and what grain of pellet you are using... as I'm sure you're very much aware.

Hi guys,

Airguns of Arizona sells an HDD for the Disco. Since the same steel breach can fit a 22xx, you can give it a try. There's also a video I YouTube for a cheaper version, do a search for ".25 ct HDD discovery". It shows interesting results.

I have both a Disco and a 2240 and I'm planning on trying both kinds of HDD's on them, maybe make them out of hard plastic pipe or "fish tank pipe".

I hope that helps.

Take care!

Here are some pictures of the AoA HDD, I thnk you can easily make it:
