PP700 adventure started(Artemis PP700s-a)

[Rallyshark]

My regulator finally showed up!  I guess they got tired of looking at it in customs...  I have the first version of the regulator that Huma put out, and fortunately, it fits my air cylinder with room to spare.  I will test the redesigned version when customs decides to let me have it later   I suspect it may give me another shot or two.

Anyway, lets get to the results...  Keep in mind the air cylinder is small to begin with, so putting a reg in a 67cc cylinder is going to take up some space!  First, I tested it to see what it was capable of at the 150 bar setting.  I was able to get it to shoot the 15gr. Sniper Magnum .177s at 765fps.  I didn't do a full string, but I suspect it would be good for 10-12 shots at that power, which is a tick under 20fpe.  I have no doubt a .22 would do better in the power department.  I still think I could do a bit better with .177 if I took the modding a little farther. 

Without changing the reg, I backed off the hammer spring some, and tried some Crosman 10.5gr domes.  I didn't play with the adjustments much, but I got 16 shots at 832fps with an ES of 29.  That isn't a bad hunting tune at all!  I also feel like it could have done close to 20 shots at 800fps with a bit less hammer.

Then, I turned the reg down to 125bar, and backed the hammer down some more to tune it for my preferred hunting pellets(Terminator 7.25gr).  It did 22 shots at 901fps with an ES of 21 and an SD of 7(I think).  Had I not taken shot 22, the ES would have been in the teens.  That is with it being tuned just below the knee.  Now that I think about it, I could probably up the shot count with a slightly higher reg setting.  That is just a guess, judging by how many shots I got with a 150bar setting and higher power.  This little guy does seem to do better in the efficiency department tuning a bit further under the knee, but I think that will result in a higher ES.

So yeah, the Huma most definitely does it's job in the consistency department.  I cost me about 8 shots on my hunting tune(22 vs 30) in the current state of tune.  To be honest, that isn't that big of deal for hunting.  I do think there is more there after some further testing/adjustment is done though.  There ya have it.  Those are my initial thoughts and results with the Huma on my gun.  I'm curious to what the difference will be with the redesigned version, if any.  I'll do some more tweaking tomorrow maybe, and report back

Donny, thanks for the great write-up and glad that the regulator fit without any mods.

I did some more tweaking with the pistol today.  I'm now getting 28 shots at 897fps with an ES of 24, and an SD of 6!  That is only 2 shots shy of what I could get at that speed without the Huma, but it is much more consistent and NO REG CREEP   I'm not sure about a bone stock one, by my pistol does much better in the efficiency department tuning a bit farther below the knee.  I'm thinking I should be able to get the 30 shots at 900fps mark with the redesigned reg and a little fine tuning.  There is no doubt the Huma is worth it if you do more than just plinking.

do you have a link for the redesigned reg?
do you have 5,5 calibers?what is you pellet to achieve this speed

I do not have a link for the redesigned reg.  Their website still shows the first version.  My gun is .177, and those speeds are with a 7.25 grain H&N Terminator pellet.

thanks for you reply
personally i am waiting 0,2l 300bars tank conversion with short paintball reg . i will tune it into 25j  with more than >50shoots
it will be less expansive than huma reg and better shoot count (the gun will be still  compact  but with better consistants  and shoot count.)

[anti-squirrel]

Donny, thanks for the information.  Though I've not had problems with my stock regulator, I use my pistol primarily for pesting, and given how accurate it is with Sniper Mags, I'd like to max out the power and still maintain a tight ES.  The Huma seems the way to go.

Could you share more info about this conversion?

[titeuf007]

air effective uk are going to produce a part to connect this kind of tank instead original cylinders
you can contact  them if you are interesting their are really nice people
i have already ordered  P15 silencers adaptor from them

It definitely fits the bill for the tight ES.  All in all, I'm only losing 2 shots vs what it did prior to the reg.  I suspect I will get those 2 shots back with some further tuning and the redesigned reg.  You still haven't tried those terminators have you Peter??  They are nasty little pellets, and my .177 loves them.  I can shoot dime sized groups at 30 yards from a rest with them, and the higher fps gives a much flatter trajectory.  I initially got them for small critters and didn't want to worry about a heavy dome passing though and hitting stuff.  They will pass through(with a big exit hole) at the velocity I'm shooting, but they are so light, they don't have enough juice left after that to hurt anything...  I didn't expect them to be as accurate as they are, but they shoot as well as any other pellet in mine at least.

Not yet.  I ran out of the last of my .177 Barracudas with my QB this evening.  I'll probably shoot the last of my JSB Exact RS (.22) tomorrow so this weekend I'll be filling an order and Terminators are on the list.

-- and probably some more JSB Ultrashocks.  Those things sounds fearsome when they impact a squirrel noggin.

Hey, I bought some Sniper Magnums like you suggested, so it only seems fair    

[Tony Fryery]

Donny, want to shoot my pistol? I decided I wanted a big boy pistol and bought a custom .30 cal pistol 😂😂😂😂

Oh, I'll be ordering them my next order of pellets.  Trust me on that.  I'll probably order some in .22 as well, since my Varmint likes H&N Pellets as well.

Now I have to plan on a budget for the Huma.  >sigh<

Thanks for the link - I tried to google for the link and was not able to find it.

I did not find the tank info you mentioned.

Cool, I can't wait to shoot that sucker!  What platform is it based on, or is it completely custome?  Numbers??

It’s completely custom, just has a 2240 trigger group in it. Mountain Airguns built it for someone that wanted a pistol in .30 cal with a 8” barrel. It’s 2000 psi fill and is shooting the 44.75 jsbs at 490 fps for 4 shots. That’s all you get as it’s dumping around 400 psi per shot. Recoils like a 380 pistol.

New improved reg.
