You need to Chrony all the shots to know how to tune the gun.... How can the groups be 0.7" and 0.5" CTC and yet the shots drop 4" and 1.5-2" ?Bob
Grumpy - How the *(&^ are you getting 5 consistent shots? I have the light spring. What psi/bullet?Bob - That's a big eye opener. I reproduced your calcs on Sike's site. Definitely room for improvement! Thanks again for the numbers, this helps.Shamu25- I only got one spring for my gun. :-( It's the light spring as I've been told. And I didn't even get the gun case or scope mounts.I think the consensus should be to go to a lighter spring. I think I'll go both routes; get the after market spring and request a couple of stock springs from Brent. Try and work backwards into a consistent shot string. I just need to be careful ordering springs that don't set over time from material or storage spring position.Shooting at 4500 psi is not practical. I have a shoebox that fills up to 4500 or so. :-(Thanks!
And I cannot pass up the chance to post a pic of my baby lol
Have someone make you a power adjuster, bust out the dremel and take your time fitting it to the stock.I had to do that with my Corcoran stock - I wanted to be able to tune it so it was a necessity.I think it came out quite nice!I would ask the maker of the rifle to manufacture one for you. I think he should offer those as an option anyway.
Fur,you might want to try shooting this gun and raising the fill pressure by 100 psi each fill till you see the fps drop.I have a 457 extreme and get my bell curve at 4700 psi.Your shoebox will do it.I have a older chain drive model and hits 4700 easily,the burst disc in the back of them are rated to 7000 psi and Brent said the extreme is good till 5000.do you have a inline pressure gauge to see when to cut it off?
