    Why 177

    I can only speak for myself. I've stuck with 177. cal because I've always told myself that my needs will never justify moving to a larger caliber. I'm not a hunter. I shoot in an urban environment with limited space at targets only. So I just didn't see the need to move up. But I finally did...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Hammer Spring

    No, I didn't change calibers. I'm shooting 22.cal 14.35 gr.. I fired a 116 shot string on my chrony but to be honest I was constantly experimenting with the HS and TP. But I've kept my reg pressure at 85. I'll have to do another shot string with consistent settings. Having the reg on 85...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Hammer Spring

    Greetings: After tuning my FX Dreamline tac I was very happy with the results. But I wanted to drop the fps a bit more and noticed something odd regarding the hammer spring adjustment when I was attempting to retune the rifle. I noticed that my fps increased the further I turned the dial...

    Tuning FX Dream Tac Compact low on power

    There is a lot of great information on this thread. I too purchased the Dreamline tac in 22. about a month ago and have been asking questions regarding shot count and tuning. My gun came tuned at 125 BAR shooting 960 + using CPHP 14.3. With this tune, I barely get through 2 mags with a 300cc...

    Tuning How to maximize consistent power shot count on Benjamin Akela .22

    ..I'm open to any and all suggestions. Dropping it down further is a simple twist of the TP so I will certainly give it a try at a lower setting to see what my results are.

    Tuning How to maximize consistent power shot count on Benjamin Akela .22

    If this is of any use to you I used my new chronograph to measure my FPS using the CPHP 14.3 gr. pellets. Full power yielded 950-970 FPS. Yes, you're reading that correctly :). Lowering it 2 notches brought me to about the 860-870 range. I now have it set in the middle which is where I'll keep...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Compact tac NEW PURCHASE

    I'll have to create a setup where I can bench the gun and do the tune from scratch as you first suggested. Thank you again for the posting and information on it. Your info regarding TP wheel was very helpful in explaining exactly how these settings work in relation to one another. Looks like I...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Compact tac NEW PURCHASE

    Guys, no reason to post a shot string. I tried the gun with the JSB's 15.83gr with the transfer port on medium and the HS 2 clicks down. With my new 300cc bottle I'm barely getting through 2 mags (34 shots) before it goes to regulator. Something just isn't right and I'm wasting tons of air...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Compact tac NEW PURCHASE

    That is great information, thank you. I have no idea why this information isn't in the instruction booklet that I've seen thus far because it's very relavent. Also, my reg preasure is set at 125 BAR not 120. My bad but not too much of a difference. But the lighter hammer spring that comes...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Compact tac NEW PURCHASE

    Thank you for the information. My FX pocket Chronograph just arrived along with my new 300cc bottle. The chronograph revealed that indeed this gun is shooting a bit hot. With my TP on high and HS on high at 120 BAR reg I'm getting an average of 960-970 FPS. I personally think that's amazing...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Compact tac NEW PURCHASE

    Now, this is the performance and shot count I was kind of expecting. I have to try retuning the gun a bit and purchase a chronometer to see where I'm at. I'm no stranger to the hobby. But owning a rifle like this comes with a learning curve that I just wasn't prepared for. I just wanted to own...

    Tuning FX Dreamline Compact tac NEW PURCHASE

    Thank you,I will certainly try your suggestions. I also forgot to mention that I'm shooting a rather light pellet as compared to what is shown in this video using Premiere 14.3 gr pellets. Also, my version of the rifle is the latest one so my transfer port settings do not read in calibers but...
