"Tune to the knee" --- Taipan Vet Long .25 --- HOW?

[Pelletjunkie]

Spinning the brass piece 180 degrees netted me a 10b change in my set point.

And remember to use the proper tightening sequence when you put it back together. Start at the bottom tube screws.  1,3  2,4. Move up to the top tube clamp screws.  1,3  2,4.  Then the barrel clamp screws.  1,3  2,4.

Just did the reg adjustment. The Taipan Vet is EASY to work on!

Turned the adjustment 180 CCW (backed it out), we'll see.

Hope you get results your wanting.

Me too. It's an adventure and half the fun is getting there.

Merry Christmas

Right now it's grouping better than ever shooting 34's but I slowed them down.

Full chrony run later but my quick chrony sample indicates low ES. The 34's max out at 820ish fps. Fine.

I may have turned the reg down too far for the 34's but not for 25.4's

Now very confident in adjusting regulator AND not putting it in backwards.

34's generally run 80-100 fps slower than the 25's. Should be right there for the 25's.

Cool. I set the HS to run JSB 25.4 at 870fps. We'll see how they like that.

Now you’re talking. Looks like you’ve got it all sorted out and now for the fine tuning.

It is looking very good at the moment and I suspect it will stay that way or even get better. You were instrumental in the progress I have made, Thank You!

I know we have been texting but some of this should be posted here for other people to reference. Now that 918fps is your max, set the gun for 900 and do a little string. Remember to fire 3 shots to let the spring settle after you make an adjustment, then take notes. Adjust up 1/4 turn, fire 3 then do a 10 shot string, go up 1/4 and do it again until you get close to your set point max speed. Then go back and go down from your original setting a couple times. See if your ES gets better or worse at any point. Where ever you finally wind up, then test for accuracy. If you have a tight ES at let’s say 915fps but the gun isn’t accurate, then it’s time to adjust the reg down a smidge. If your ES stays about the same from 880-915fps. Just test all velocities for best accuracy.

Wow. These are awesome INSTRUCTIONS and I will carefully follow them.

THANK YOU!
