I understand how the valve seal works and you dont get air leaking thru the barrel from that seal. Im just getting all the info possible about the rifle. You say excessive air but how do you know its excessive? The OP says a pretty decent puff but whats a decent puff to the OP? Does the OP know...

Yes I would say you would want to make sure you are using the best combination for the distance you shoot. If you stay at 50 yds and under the difference is so small you wouldnt care. If you are shooting to say 125 yds or trying for farther distance you would balance the speed around that as you...

If that hole is a vent hole for the hammer and the OP just gets a puff of air when the hammer is in motion wouldnt the puff of air simply be the air being pushed out by the hammer movement? That makes more sense to me and the whole reason the hammer passage is vented. Maybe I missed something...

Crown MK2 JSB 34 gr. 880 fps. I have owned about 7 .25 cal pcp rifles from the lower end Hatsan at44 to my current .25 pcp rifles the crown mk2 and impact m3 and they all shot best at speeds ranging from 860 - 900 fps. Going above 880 - 900 fps increases wind drift on diabolo pellets so if you...

Here in the US H&N are some of the cheaper slugs. For me I dont care what the price is. I only care about group sizes and consistency of groups. I also dont target shoot with my airguns I only pest and hunt so I dont go thru a bunch of slugs. If I shot 500 slugs a month I would probably buy a...

Sounds like you are getting somewhere. A little tweaking and hopefully your search will be over for a good performing slug.

Are you talking about the FX Hybrid 44.5 gr. slugs? If so my strelok says they have a BC of .102.

I was expecting the post to be about performance when I read the title. I have two GRS stocks and they didnt smell weird. Hopefully the smell goes away as it gets aired out.

If it was a minelli stock I could understand smelling like Romano cheese.

I tried javelins in .22 and .25 both didnt perform. I found H&N in .22 and .25 to be the best in my three FX rifles. Zan, JSB and NSA slugs all under performed in my rifles.

My crown shoots both weights accurately so I use the 50 gr. Been smacking starlings at 85 - 88 yds easy.

My guess would be the check valve in the rifles fill port is stuck open. If its bleeding slow like @Asher mentions that could cause it as well.

I have the reg set at 150 bar. I cant remember what the macro and micro are set at. I am at work and didnt bring it with me today so I can check when I get home if you want that info. With the reg set at 150 bar I hit the plateau at 1045 fps.

Yes 1.5" at 85 yds is easy work. So far the H&N slugs have been the best performers in all my slug set ups in .22 and .25 cal.

You cant fill a tank to a higher pressure than the tank being used to fill it. If the fill tank has 3,000 psi in it you are only going to get 3,000 psi max into the tank being filled.
