    My .25 Veteran Shorty

    🍿 Interested in what you find out regarding hades and velocity for accuracy. I was planning on purchasing some to try once available, but if they only seem to like slower speeds, I will sticknto the 34s at 900 FPS.

    Tuning Power Plenum a NoGo (Taipan Veteran)

    I almost forgot, If one desires highers shot count, the increased plenum space allows lowering regulator setting to still produce the same velocity as the smaller plenum, but you can shoot it down to lower pressure before falling of reg. However, someone else will have to give you data of reg...

    Tuning Power Plenum a NoGo (Taipan Veteran)

    The mod increases plenum volume and allows reduced hammer spring pre-load for the velocity. I am sufficiently less than maxed out with stock spring now, while before it was completely maxed. Also this will give me the extra air needed once I go to a slug barrel for long range use, which was...

    Tuning Power Plenum a NoGo (Taipan Veteran)

    It looks like everything sealed well this time around. I set to 250 bar this morning and left it all day. When I got home after work the pressure was exactly where it was before. I did a little initial testing to see how the mods changed things. First I ran 2 each of 36.2 and 38.9 grain NSA...

    Is anyone else burned out on people passing judgment on killing varmints?

    LOL! This remind me of a newspaper clipping that I saw in a butcher shop once. There was a big article about hunting in it, which the author was opposed to. They go on about this and that, talking about animals suffering However, to best part of the article is where they made a quote stating...

    Tuning Power Plenum a NoGo (Taipan Veteran)

    I left it at 200 bar over night and pressure held. I brought it up to 250 bar this morning, and will let it set all day. Tonight I will start testing with the stock spring, as 900 FPS is all I need for the 34gr JSBs. I will set some money aside for a slug barrel, and make the purchase once...

    My Vet likes the 34s Coming out at 900 FPS, for about 61 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

    Tuning Power Plenum a NoGo (Taipan Veteran)

    Thanks guys! I thought possibly the O-ring but it looked pretty good. I was able to find a replacement o-ring and put the tube back together. I am bringing it up to pressure slowly due to hand pumping, but it is holding at 100bar currently.

    I checked my order and it was for the Taipan power plenum. Everything when together as expected, bug it doesn't seem like it sealed tight.

    Tuning Power Plenum a NoGo (Taipan Veteran)

    Installed the Power plenum on my Taipan last night, and found that the gun would not refill with air. After trying for a little while it even stopped taking air into the fill valve. It took me awhile to figure it out last night, but was able to get check valve unstuck, but still not filling with...
